Milestones...
The go-go check collection moves forward
So Emerald City ComicCon provided me with a lot of 'big fat nothing' for the go-go check collection; although I did have fun on Sunday and I dropped some books at the CGC booth for grading - but I only saw three go-go check slabs, all for Justice League of America books that I already have (albeit higher grade - all 9.6) and absolutely no raw go-go checks that I would bother to have slabbed - mostly reader grade stuff, call it 2.5 to 4.5. I did, on the other hand, pick up raw copies of Strange Adventures 110 (grey tone cover) and 125 (flying gorillas - I need to research how many flying gorillas I can find in SA DC books, this is getting uncanny) in fine to very fine condition at a good price - certainly a nice add to the whole Strange Adventures collection. I have to be careful how I abbreviate that: Siver Ave Strange Adventures somes out SA SA....
But, hey this isn't about that - this is about a nice milestone: the go-go check collection will be 20% complete when I list my most recent acquisition: Strange Adventures 197 in 9.6 from the Savannah pedigree.
I still haven't acquired any of the big three books from the set, but I do have some of the smaller keys, and I have strayed only rarely from the grade requirements: (1) at 7.5, (1) at 8.0, and now (3) at 9.6. Date-stamps are present more than I would like but I am relaxing about that some...(not much).
I have representatives from most of the major SA pedigrees in the collection (no Green River which is sad); and I feel that the collection is progressing well overall.
Anyway - I just wanted to share my recent success.
No image this posting - I smoked my hard drive...
Happy Hunting to all.
