IM #169. 1st James Rhodes as IM
(IM #118 1st James Rhodes). I just refuse to believe that with RDJ and Gwyneth in the IM movie its not gonna be big. And with Terrence Howard as James Rhodes my hunch is his stock is gonna go up...way up.

And if it doesn;t I'm out about a buck or 2

Never even occured to me, yet here I am thinking ahead about Miller's Ronin in another post.... how about them apples?

I'd love to see some of those back issues go up in value...even if its one I don't own (although the James Rhodes ones are pretty cool candidates)..I mean its been IM #55 and then nada...the guy deserves some more hot back issues!

yeah so I picked these up recently......................
obviously more or less movie influenced, but I actually got good deals regardless

only 2 of these in 9.8 in the census, 2nd print

not the exact one I got, but I got one in a 9.8, exactly as you see here, my seller took his pic down already, funny how much these are going for in 9.8, I lucked out a couple Sundays ago and eBay watch lists went down, ended up getting it for a little over 20, of course I realize its not a major book, but what a sweet cover, the same book the next day went for 100+

I remember the good old days of Carnage...

And the Erik Larsen Spideys were awesome as well

I've always thought the same thing, but rarely seek out issues. If I just happen to see them, they're mine!

Here's one I'm particularly proud of, I only found out it existed a couple of months ago when Knightt put one up. I had to buy a stack of books to get it, so if anyone's looking for some Iron Man books from this series or the third series let me know, I can hook you up cheap!

That's a fantastic find, man. Believe it or not I was the one who told Knightt about that book!! We had a pretty long convo going back and forth about it for a while!!! Nice!!!

Thanks, I was thrilled to get it!

Can you tell me who signed it? It looks like an "S" at the beginning. Is it Scott Lobdell?

I gotta say that those little Ashcan books are one of my guilty pleasures.

Nice score!

wesmantooth · Post by **wesmantooth** » Mon Apr 09, 2007 2:21 pm

the marvel secret wars limited 1-12 all a quarter each including
the symbiote 1st in vg shape

x- factor 1-10 quarter each

uncanny 281 signed by whilce portacio for 2 bucks with certificate

Talking about ashcans I just picked two up on the weekend!!

Pitt #1 Ashcan - signed and numbered (x2)

I was looking at these magazines for almost 6 months but was unwilling to pay the high price. Today the owner decides to sell them to me at a really cheap price. He says "Hard to sell whether he is dead or alive!"

I, Lusiphur #4 / Poison Elves #10 / Poison Elves #9

IMJ, you probably know this already, but Iron Man Masterworks #4 came out today, finishing off the reprints of ToS, along with reprints of Iron Man's half of Iron Man/Sub-Mariner 1, and Iron Man 1. Very cool stuff. (Which judging by what I've seen of your collection, there's a good chance you have read already, but it's a reasonably affordable way to get reader copies.)

I do want that book actually (I have the issues, but I buy all the Iron Man trades) but I did not know it came out today. Actually I've been wondering when that was slated to be released, so thanks for telling me!

The crummy thing is that I was at the LCS today already and I didn't know it was out so I didn't grab it. Thanks for the update on it though, it's really appreciated!

Just picked up a CGCd copy of Iron Man 129 today from the Mile High II pedigree collection.....

cobra_commander · Post by **cobra_commander** » Fri Apr 13, 2007 7:37 pm

They have a pedigree section? Where do you buy that?
