I'm just like him!  Here's one I'd like to do that with (except I'll just add a nicer copy to my collection).  The Torch's first day of college is one of the most important milestones in the Marvel Age of Comics!  That, and the final episode in the 3-issue arc featuring the creation of two of the most interesting, multi-dimensional, complex and long-lasting characters ever.
 
 

Slobodian pedigree copy, recognized as exceptional by the hobby if not pedigree worthy by CGC.  There was an auction write-up at Heritage many years ago that suggested Calvin Slobodian began collecting off the rack around 1954, but later as a comic dealer would sometimes substitute a nicer copy he acquired for one he'd bought off the stand.

Does someone have a graft/display that details Kirby's workload in the 60's, juggling various titles like J.I M., FF. Avengers, etc. The mere fact that he would literally create new, interesting lasting and memorable characters/villains almost every month puts him head and shoulders above all others IMO.

Here is another one just back.

And this one came out as I expected.

Pretty happy with my first grading submission.

Another couple from the latest batch back from CGC.

If I were ever to sell, I probably should send it in. I can't imagine ever selling though. lol.

I always liked that cover.  Here's art for a foreign edition which shows it without the text
