My 4/69 collection

When I first started collecting CGC books, I didn't pay much heed to the publish dates of particular comics. Then one day I purchased Amazing Spider-Man 71, and underneath the title 4/69 stood out like an old friend. Aha! Now that is cool. I was born 4/2/69...this comic came out the month I was born! After that, I looked up all the 4/69 books I could find on the CGC registry. Not too long ago, my brother sent me a link to a site that has comics listed by birth month! YAY...there were a lot I didn't know about.

Here's the link:

I mostly collect Marvel, but you can look up any publisher. Way cool!

I would like to get all of these Marvel 4/69 issues in a 9.6 or better. So far, this is what I have:

Amazing Spider-Man 72 / 9.2

Captain America 112 / 9.2

Fantastic Four 85 / 9.6

Incredible Hulk 114 / 9.4

Nick Fury 11 / 9.8

Silver Surfer 5 / 9.6

Submariner 12 / 9.6

Thor 163 / 9.8

X-Men 55 / 9.2

12 more to go!

I'm glad to have been born in the Silver Age, since so many of the Marvel titles were at the top of their craft. And that high grade 12cent issue is OH so nice.

You think Gemma / CGC would be up to create birthday month sets?

Would be cool, but probably a little crazy.

Happy Collecting, Collector Friends!!!
