Which Marvel comic is your pride and joy?

Amazing Spider-Man. This annual is my favorite, for story, and also because Stan Lee himself signed it for me. (lower left corner)...

 

[Elijya]

those are just some of my Silver Age stuff, and some of them are just in the list because of the memories from childhood.

 

[Xofenroht]

Eternals
1602
Origin

The first two are there because well...hey, it's all Neil has ever done for Marvel and he's my favorite storyteller of all time. "Origin" is included because Wolverine is how I found my way to Marvel. They're probably not worth much without the sentimental value.

 

[NinjinSteve]

Marvel Spotlight #5

Ghost Rider #1

Daredevil #181

thats about it

 

[Elijya]

My mint condition Amazing Spider-Man #129

I believe you mean Near Mint

 

[PhotoJones]

I believe you mean Near Mint

And who are you to say it wasn't pulled directly from the printing press with gloved hands and immediately bagged?

 

[Elijya]

Who's to say the printing press produces mint copies?

 

[The Shredder]

The Incredible Hulk #3
The Amazing Spider-Man #11
The Amazing Spider-Man #14
The Amazing Spider-Man #16
The Amazing Spider-Man Annual #1
Daredevil #2
As well as the complete run of Spider-Woman.

 

[PhotoJones]

Who's to say it doesn't?

 

[Elijya]

I think it's alot harder to assume it does produce mint copies than to assume it doesn't, if we cannot inspect the press ourselves

 

[PhotoJones]

Kable24's copy of Amazing Spider-Man #129 remains mint until proven otherwise.

 

[Elijya]

Because he said so? You might as well use that logic on the bible.

Or here: At this very moment your mother is under my desk in a french maid outfit and doing things that would make a seasoned hooker blush.

It's true because I said so.

 

[PhotoJones]

Who are you and how did you become a mod?

I'm saying, what's wrong with letting the guy think he's got mint copy of an old Spider-Man book? He clearly cherishes it, so where's this pretenious need to inform him that his comic book isn't as good as he thinks?

 

[Darthphere]

Who are you and how did you become a mod?

Elijya and because he kicks major ass.

 

[PhotoJones]

Elijya and because he kicks major ass.

At being a pretentious snob? You're right, he's unparalleled.

 

[Darthphere]

At being a pretentious snob? You're right, he's unparalleled.

E doesn't need me defending him, but just look at the thread and look at who started this little spat.

Um, you were actually saying something? I thought we were just joking around. Your suggestion that someone actually would have taken a comicbook from the printing presses in 1974 in gloved hands established that pretty well, just as my using a blood relative in a ridiculous sexual situation should have.

Why's it got to be pretentious? If someone walks around thinking they're Napoleon I should let them because it makes them happy? Sure, I might come to that conclusion after "a very special episode of..." but my first instinct is going to be to inform them they are not. Not rudely, just point it out. It's pretentious to point out someone is mistaken? That's a new one to me

As this is a forum for discussing comics, a topic such as the common misuse/misunderstanding of the term "Mint" is not out of place to come up.

I didn't say the guy couldn't cherish it, I didn't tell him "your book is crap", I just made a comment about the misuse of the term "mint"

A Mint comic is something that really only a qualified grader can assess, someone who's worked with high grade comics for years, and will slap a seal of approval on a book. CGC grades books at mint at 9.9 and 10.0, and there's not a single copy of ASM 129 in their census in either grade.

So lighten up, PJ. I gots no bones to grind wich you
