IF I ever get an AF15 I don't want to see it arrive in a normal brown box, just like I don't expect to see a mountain of cash shipped in a box. I want them pulling up with a Brinks trucks, opening a vault in the back, and armed guards handing it to me personally at the door.

Repent and trust in Jesus. We all deserve Hell for our sins, such as lying lusting coveting and more. We can't save ourselves, but Jesus can save us. He died on the cross to save us for our sins and rose from the grave defeating death and Hell. You must put your faith in him only. He is the only way to Heaven. Repent and trust in Jesus.

There’s something different about seeing a purple label for AF15. Like it doesn’t matter at all like it does for other books.

I don't know what else could be said about that unboxing but just WOW. Not only 1 but 2!!!! 2 Amazing Fantasy #15 and who cares the label color it's just amazing history not to forget there was an ASM #1 also that was a 5.0. Just insane. Ray has just so many amazing books and his passion is also priceless.
@RayFromCarolinaComics2 жыл бұрын
Great presentation Gary. Thanks again for all you do. Kudos to ERod, best in the business and a great guy. The books really do look Amazing. AF#15 in all grades is a special book. And a worthwhile investment. Better then owning stock as it just keeps going up in value. Like fine art, it can be viewed, shown to and shared with friends and family and will be part of history for a long time.

So is there any keys worth getting for $2,000 or should I just keep saving up?

Hoping to have some explanation as to the cost of walk-thru books ahead of time before getting surprised by the credit card charge from cgc upon receival. I heard that you could negotiate with them, but was wondering what that fee was for comparison. Gary mentioned on another video that he was going to start full disclosing all costs.....

CGC has graded approximately 3,500 copies of AF#15. Unknown how many raw copies still exist but likely probably a lot less then have been graded to this point. 50% 3.5 or higher, 25% 5.0 or higher, only 10% 6.5 or higher, and only 20 copies 9.0 or higher.

Hey Gary this is Bob in Connecticut I love looking at your videos and all of your input.

Remember I don’t work like you do so right now I am still contemplating but what do you think my amazing fantasy 15 8.0 restored no trimming pieces added cream to off-white. What would you think that would go for right now? I don’t think I ever want to sell it and I’m definitely not selling my amazing fantasy 15 6.0 Cream to off-white blue label. Yes I know you told me to take the first wonder woman other people told me the same thing and take the $9000 I don’t know right now.
