ClayMart ..nice job on the comic cover collage Some Tessie and Crime & adventure issues with car covers
all you hot rod guys should know that the condition on a comic book is one of THE determining factors on what makes them worth more than others....... a tiny 1/16 crease on the spine will make a comic book go from $500 to $100 it is THAT important. so if you are looking at any of these as potential investments......... the better the condition the more $$$ you will have to pay. Every so often you can find some comic books mixed in with old car mags. And sometimes they are only 2 for a $1 or something at a swap meet. Good Luck and know that I will be out there competing with you to find these gems. Also - certain artist like LB Cole and Frazetta always demand more $$$ due to their populatity with comic collectors (such as I)
