Tec-Tac-Toe

All those are out there in large quantities in my experience since my, I'll write, anecdotal account saw folks purchase them with the intent of carefully storing them and, perhaps for some, the goal of making money off them. I, like most, I imagine just collected them because we enjoyed doing so never really thinking that they would be worth more than a few dollars at some point. As I have noted occasionally on this board, I purchased virtually all titles of Bronze Age issues, especially DC, including 52 pages issues, off newsstands and comic book dealers in large quantities, typically anywhere from three to six copies of each. Often a lot more. I have all those very securely stored in an acid (edit) -free (so much for 9.8 ) and climate controlled environment in another state. When I retire, one of my goals is to see which are worth submitting to CGC for grading and, subsequently, doing so. Will many be 9.8? I'll see, but I believe most will be CGC graded 9.8 copies. I also believe that I am very far from the only one that did this. As I noted, many folks that I was a kid with in northern NJ did as I did, some purchasing far more than I. Granted, I don't know if some or many of those folks have already submitted to CGC. However, I do know that two of my cousins that also purchased as I did have not. Their very large, especially Bronze Age, collections are sitting as mine are. As you know as well as do I, Bronze Age issues are not, I'll write, early to mid Silver Age issues with most, likely, somewhat limited in quantity. Bronze Age issues were collected, including the 52 page DC horror titles in very large quantities with the goal of saving them. Like I noted, I (my two cousins as well) just liked them and wanted to have as many of each issue as possible. I and the others virtually competed to get the best and most copies of each issue. I recall very clearly, like it was yesterday, that the most of the copies were in fantastic condition on the newsstand, especially at the "almost corner store," where I purchased tons of issues, because the owner displayed them flat on shelves since he did not have room for spinner racks (the store was narrow and not too (edit #2) deep with the comic books on the right side in the back). That is my experience, yours may be different.

My dogs look at Eastern gray squirrels in that manner, likely thinking "Effin squirrel."

Based on tracking CGC graded DC 52 page issues for around 20 years, it is very likely that another CGC 9.8 copy (copies) of TT issue 39 will be graded sooner or later as has happened with a great many DC issues, 52 page and otherwise, especially when an out of the "normal" price range sale occurs. Such sales have been happening frequently lately on, for example (especially), HA. As others note, unfortunately there are few of us primarily DC collectors and, thus, prices for non-key (and some key) issues are relatively low (mostly compared to Marvel Comics titles). I have purchased a few CGC 9.8 DC 52 on the cheap side lately, letting the ones selling for about $500 to $2500 go (Edit: as if I ever had them ). My of informed observation.

I am waiting for the film version, "The Name is H, Weapon H." Sorry, I was thinking of another character.

I hope not!

Is the comic book a Captain Universe(Universal) issue?

Your set is truly fantastic and should have already won awards. Unfortunately, awards are the luck of the draw.

Yes, it is CGC.

If it comes to fruition, I am very much looking forward to the film version of Blood Meridian.

Yes, so many must fail. "What are you called?" "Red, err, red, ohhh my, ohh my, yellow, yes, yes, yellow jacket." "FAIL! Next."

Why are so few of them entombed along with our comic books?

I'm holding out for Spider-Dog, or is Spider-Dog already active. Spider-Dog, does whatever a cat can.

Hopefully they will soon ship as mine finally did so this past Friday. They were scheduled to arrive on Monday but FedEx, of course, delayed delivery and, thus, they arrived yesterday, Tuesday, July 25.

Perhaps CGC is experimenting with: "Grade and Name Your Own Comic Book. Grade it and Name it whatever you like despite the actual grade and title. Who cares? No one!!!!! Have fun! be creative! Tell your family, friends, even strangers, that you graded and named your own comic book! Others can also join in the the fun! Yes, fun despite what others may say. Ignore those naysayers. Go ahead, DO IT!!!"

The gifs that keep on giving.

Based on the scans of the magazines shipped to me on Friday, July 21 (FedEx was scheduled to deliver them yesterday but is giving me the runaround; reportedly they will deliver them today) the notation of them, as with "United Kingdom", is off-center to the left when looking directly at the front covers.

Borrowing from Get Marwood & I, in other news, the 2024 Oscar winners were announced.

I love it!

I did not win anything and no one told me, so I celebrated.

"... [N]o joy in Mudville."

Captain Kirk or, more likely, Khan Noonien Singh took charge?
