My latest Schomburg scores! One via eBay & the other from a boardie.

Back in the day, I would have tripped over my own feet on the way to my wallet for that one. I know first hand how tough that book is.  

I believe it! A quick check and still no 9.8s for Spawn 156 either...

Only three on the census:

Only four on the census:

If ebay doesn’t work, I guess Heritage is a good option? Most of my collection is from the last 40 years so this is my first time dealing with Golden Age goodies.

 

You can always try Shortboxed. Lots of GA stuff for sale on there.

Well I never had a Spawn 64 in 9.8. There are several now, but I had a hard time with this one back in the day because none existed, and I couldn't find a good raw candidate to save my life. Black cover. Polybagged. Tough issue.

Classic! I have the Art of Spawn figure based on that cover.

Goes for a pretty penny nowadays....

Cool cover! It's unfortunate that CGC misspelled the cover artists name.

Wow yeah, I didn't even catch that. I'm usually vigilant on that sort of thing too. Bummer.

The Valentine GGA auction is going to be bananas. So many gems.

4 - I like the flow of her hair better. Shark is an added bonus!

2. Marvel Super-Heroes Secret Wars #8

 

 3. Uncanny X-Men #266

 

I hate seeing these littered all over social media. Comic book collecting subreddit especially. Very annoying.

I think the green label 1.0 that was on auction just ended a day or two ago for $25k.

Yeah I see that now! At least it's a Schomburg cover.  But man, these people on Heritage are something else.

My man Joe Doolin pumped out iconic Planet covers like nobody's business.

How do books 75 years old manage to hold up like this? Locked in a vault that entire time?

Bought a stellar GA book from Jason - very pleasant guy. Highly recommended!

A fun part of this thread, for me at least, will be watching Greg Capullo mature over the years. 

Not saying this is terrible art, but we all know how much better he got.

I think you can argue he eclipsed Todd in perfecting Spawn's look, as crazy as that sounds.

Very excited to get this upgrade. Also, my first Bethlehem copy...

Very nice! Ken Bald & Ogden Whitney had my favorite covers in the series.

Always dug that Hulk 372 cover. Dale Keown did a sweet job on Sensational She-Hulk as well.

Never resonated with me. Hence my only FF slab is #86 solely because of Doom. 

I just bought a book from them online last month. Hope this loser gets nabbed.

I think things were just starting to get super cool after issue 100. Right around where you stopped, actually. By that time, the run had become super dark and rather obscure. I can't wait to get past issue 100. 

Thanks so much for tuning in! I appreciate your commentary! 

Interesting! I definitely still like the covers in the 140s-50s. The logo change and art style was rather peculiar starting at 166.
