Avengers #59

1st appearance of "Yellow Jacket" I believe this Character to be a sleeper.MCCC turned out great for me. Found a 9.8 copy of 1st Taskmaster for $40.00 and this beauty for $15.00. These were the two I was hunting down and got them in great grades for dirt cheap! Very happy to finally grab some bargains.To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here.

Motor City

My local Con is next week... With that I decided on these 2 books for Pressing/Grading. I'm actually very excited for the MP #4. I also have a decent search list for the Con. Very excited and can't wait to hit the dealer floor. Debated on a Claremont, but I actually have a couple Sig books in the collection. I'll be focusing strictly on the dealers this time!

My 1st experience with Desert Wind

Deathlok

Apparently this book has picked up steam... Don't watch "Agents of Shield" but I had someone from work asking about my Astonishing Tales #25. "Why the interest?" I asked, he told me Deathlok was going to be appearing on the show very soon..chuckled a bit! I'll probably check it out! Love this character, and very happy he's getting the attention he deserves. Great book indeed! To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here. New comments can be added below.

Another 3D Pick-Up!

I really love this cover.... This would probably be my favorite from the 3D covers. The color schemes, and the fact Doomsday looks so terrifying! Just another affordable pick-up! To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here. New comments can be added below.

Marvel Graphic Novel #4

Well, look what showed up at my front door.. Wasn't expecting this book till Fri-Sat. But non the less, very happy. This turned out the way I expected it would, based on my opinion. Thought that the pressing would maybe help..but no! And after opening the box and pulling this beautiful book out of it's sleeve I didn't even care. This book turned out beautiful and it's mine! All mine! I would also like to thank the man "Ronnylama". I'm giving him the thumbs up! And with that being said I'd

3D Double SS

Decided to purchase this book only because it was double Signed and dirt cheap.. I love Darkseid because he reminds me so much of Thanos. This is also one my favorites when it comes to the 3D covers. So yeah, it's been a while. With the Holidays being here and gifts to buy, money will be tight... very tight! To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here. New comments can be added below.

Going 3D

I would really love to see Marvel follow suit with this whole 3D Villains Month.. I really enjoyed these. It seemed kinda old school to me...remember the holographic and foil covers. People can say their gimmicky, but if Marvel did the same or something similar, I'll be all over 'em! Marvel Villains would be sick!! To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here.

Forever People #1

Purchased this book pretty cheap.. 1st app of Darkseid. People try and argue what his true 1st is, well Wikipedia has this as his 1st and their usually dead on. I'll try and get a higher grade loose if possible. But yeah, I figured it was a cool purchase. To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here. New comments can be added below.

Batman: The Dark Knight Returns #2

I really believe the new Batman Movie will be based around this particular story arc... And with issue #2 being the big one in this series. And that's mainly because of Robin, not Batman. The 1st "female Robin" to be exact! I really think Warner Bros. Is going to run with this, and if so, Robin will fly in this Movie. To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here.

Marvel Graphic #4

Was on eBay the other night and found this.. a beautiful unread copy of Marvel Graphic #4.. I was drooling over this copy. The seller was asking $80.00 so I put an offer of $40.00..he turned it down. So then I put $50.00. I had to wait till morning, then around 10:00 I got the excepted offer of $50.00. Man, I've been dying for an affordable 1st print unread copy for a while, I'd say around 2 yrs. I'll probably have this copy SS. Based on the fact it's not 9.8 caliber. There's a blunt on the bo

Star Wars #107

Won this great book the other night. This issue has a low print run...Underrated in my opinion. I love the cover and wasn't looking to spend a lot, but wanted a solid grade. This is a beauty for $60.00. I've never been fixated on 9.8's. Usually with the moderns I prefer 9.8's but if the book is expensive do to maybe a 1st app. I'll settle for a 9.6 or 9.4 if the price is right. So yeah, this is great!

Captain America Annual #8

This is my second copy of this great book. Every time I see a copy cheap, I usually try and chase it! I just love Zecks covers. This guy would definitely be my favorite when it comes to the covers. I remember back when he did the Punisher Limited Series...The covers were just beautiful!! I really loved his stint on Cap as well. Remember that cover Zeck did of Deathlok targeting Cap in his scope..awesome stuff!! To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here. New comments can be ad

Avengers #54

Purchased this CGC book around 4 months ago. As soon as I heard about Ultron possibly being in the next Avengers movie, I decided to chase a copy of #55...and found this beauty for $60.00. This book was just too good to pass up! This would have to be one of the better investments I made. The last copy of this issue in same grade sold on eBay for over $350.00. What makes this issue so difficult would have to be the black cover. Surf had me thinking about this issue with his great find...

MP #7

Finally got my Marvel Preview back from CGC today. Was very happy with the outcome as well. Yeah, was hoping for the stars, but so is everybody else... The book ended up getting 9.0 W/P but this particular book any thing higher than 8.5 is pretty rare. So getting this beauty back with this grade was awesome!

The Gem In My Collection

The gem of my collection would not be a comic but a toy. This toy was released by Gakken back in the early 80's. It was based on the Japanese animated series "Genesis Climber Mospeada" also known in the States as Robotech. This animated series was so amazing to me that I would run home from school just so I wouldn't miss an episode....Man I miss the 80's! To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here.
