  1. What, no love for the 111? not a huge fan, no gator
  2. those Dark Mysteries look like a fun run to collect rick
  3. gator, aren't you glad you didn't buy it at the 9.0 raw he was calling it? (thumbs u
  4. yep, upgrade on the #3 with our own Socratic Wonder benefiting with your/my old copy!...just spreading the love around rick
  5. believe me, from the first time i laid eyes on you, it was clear you had a geek dome.
  6. slow down mister...those guys in general celebrate post counts...over here in the GA world, we pay it no attention... gator
  7. Excellent way to put it in perspective Schommy. that is why I don't understand "high" grade collectors...I mean, is a 9.4 really that much more different than a 9.2 or a 9.6...the money says it is, but from an aesthetic perspective, seems foolish to me (and I mean no disrespect to all you high grade guys and gals, just not my cup of tea) gator In terms of silver or bronze, one usually has a choice of grades. Do you want a 9.0? 9.2? 9.4? 2.5? The real choice is what you want to spend. As for golden age the choices are much more limited. I choose very high grade because I like old books that look as close to original in color and paper quality as possible. If that can be acheived with a 7.0 or so then that is cool by me. But in many cases there are no copies that look really nice except pedigrees or uber-high grade. There is a ton of difference between a 9.4 and a 7.0. I agree 100%...I should have clarified my statement to silver and bronze (I was specifically responding to GL 76 bronze)...I understand that in Gold, there is a huge difference, and, if I had the kind of bread you have, I would maybe put it into high grade gold...but, alas, I have to dredge through the restored and vg copies gator I am still in shock after seeing a couple of his Jumbo Comics..... I think if I saw his Timley's I would just faint Bedrock already has one of the nicest Timely grouping I have seen...and, give him a little time, and only verzyl might top him one day (till he buys John out!) gator
  8. I think you have done just fine, Big Boy. BTW, when can I stop by to see your Marvel run? (Big time congrats!) you and the missus are welcome anytime (sold the beach condo though, so you would have to shack up in our little guest house)...all my geek buddies have an open invitation, I only need a phone call 24 hours in advance (to clean up)! gator

  11. thanks my brother! heritage had a nice 11 book run of them (73-83)...as mentioned, someone "killed" my bid on the 73 (I had no idea someone would pay 5x guide? for it!)...gave me time to bump up my bids on the other 10, but no one bid more on them, so I got them all for a song rick
