Silent Master

Do you have one you're desperate to get rid of?

No, just the one copy I managed to get. I sent it in hoping it was a 9.8 but unfortunately the CGC gods were not with me - came back a 9.6...

They are rare but not worth $399, even if it was a CGC 9.8.

I spent maybe $60 for one on ebay a few months back...though the condition is good at best...Annoyed that I lost out on an americas elite 11 variant yesterday on ebay

..that is my new obsession

What did that elite 11 variant go for on E-Bay?

They are fun to track down. I'd love to know the number of each that were assembled. Good luck!

AND if you want to part with that 7, 25, 29 (which I have seen before) or the 51, etc, please let me know!!!

I'm looking for information on the old "three packs" of second prints from the Marvel Run- The ones that were prepackaged for resale, and look to have a $1.69 price tag...

These are the sets I know of:

- #2, 26, 27,

- #36, etc..

-#51 and two others in the 50s...

-#7, 25, 29

 

Does anyone know if these were a particular number of sets? Were there only x number of a predetermined three comics created and sold, or was it more of a random selection put together for resale?

I am trying to ultimately determine what sets exist and I need to be looking for-

Thanks-

I am

These are the one's I am aware of:

2-26-27 (2nd prints) Marvel

3-4-5 (2nd prints - however not marked 2nd prints) Marvel

34-35-36 (2nd prints) Marvel

46-47-48 (1st prints) Marvel

10-21-30 (2nd prints – 21^3rd print) Marvel

104-105-106 (1st prints) Marvel

113-114 (1st prints) 2-pack Marvel

128-139 (1st prints) 2-pack Marvel

2-6-8-11-12 (2nd prints) 5-pack Marvel

118 (single) (1st print) no idea what this is? Pedigree Gold

140-141-142-Transformers II 1 (1st prints) Marvel Adventures Collector’s Pack

There may be more but these are the one's I have in hand and am sure exist. I hope that helps.

My thanks to Rich Henn for helping me get this done at the baltimore comic con. Love the book, love the sketch! I appreciate checking in on here and seeing all the great books. Especially enjoy the people you meet on these boards, Rich has been one of the finest to work with, much obliged bud

- awesome!

Some of you have probably seen this already... I have seen this collection up on ebay in the past before...This does seem like a very, very nice collection (complete 1-155 newsstand and UPC), with so much fun...

I'm trying to figure out if the price seems at all reasonable though (not that I would come close to spending that amount)- it seems high to me, despite the high priced books included...

Full Marvel set on Ebay

I saw this, I believe I recall seeing this on E-Bay several months ago (although I could be wrong); probably didn't meet his reserve last time...

It's hard to put a price on a full collection like this... probably really depends on the overall condition of the keys. I bought a collection much like this, although not quite as big, about 8 years ago but I can't recall what I paid for it.

Good luck!

Just order one of these:

 

 

And one of these, only 3 rows of drawers instead of 2:

 

 

I'm excited - but I have to wait 8 to 12 weeks....

 

Has your cabinet arrived yet?

Not yet.

But I spoke with him yesterday and they won't be long

Hi boys,

 

I'm selling my GI Joe SS collection in the copper/modern section if you're interested. (thumbs u Some rare books!

I did a research you guys are spot on, Zartan was unamed at #24. Then I really do need that #25 since I'm starting a portfolio for the Dreadnoks. But the original Dreadnoks, Buzzer, Ripper, and Torch, were unamed at the that issue, is there an issue were they got introduced?

 

Pretty sweet videos. Nostalgic as ever.

 

Zartan appears in the last panel of #24. Right next to the panel it says: NEXT ISSUE: The strangest deadliest foe the Joes have ever faced... the incredible... ZARTAN. So he is named in the comic, but not in the story by another character.

 

so it's a sort of a introduction already, really similar to the hulk wolvie scenario. very interesting...

 

on other news, the G.I. Joe title will be rebooting again, I think it is going to be released next year.

And introducing the first Indian-American Joe named Hashtag.

 

Whoa... there was Spirit (Charlie Iron-Knife), Airborne (Franklin E. Talltree), Altitude (John Edward O. Jones), Dart (Jimmy Tall Elk), and Redmack (Reginald Cobb).

 

Dang FNG Hashtag thinks he can come in and take claim of being the first native American in GI Joe!!!! (jk)

 

Spirit was the first Native American where they are claiming that Hashtag is Indian American so I'm assuming from India??

- READING IS IMPORTANT!!!!

Sometimes you just totally screw-up... sorry everyone, please continue and ignore my comments. Thanks zekebarrett.

Oops...

Forgot - Armadillo (Philo Make Peace)... my apologize to Mr. Make Peace and his family.

Here is a listing of all the Marvel G.I. Joe Second Printings: 2,6,7,8,10,11,12,14,17,18,19,21,23,25,26,27,29,30,34,35,36,37,38,49,51,52,53,55,63,64

Listing of the Third Printings:

21,29,63

There were 2nd printings (or variant copies printed months after the originals if people would rather call them that) of 3, 4, & 5 as well but no one seems to want to acknowledge them as such....

126 is hard to find in 9.8 as well, it was one of the last issues I was able to get me hands on!

If a movie was ever made based on SWII I would hope they stray from the source material (thumbs u

Except that part where Spidey taugh the Beyonder how to take a dump; epic and classic!

Very cool stuff!!!!! (thumbs u

Very, very cool!!! (thumbs u (thumbs u

Just watched it on AMC live streaming video! Excellent and Carl was MUCH better!! Now I hope they keep him around for a little while.

My new acquistion...

 

That looks like an excellent copy! Congrats!

Have any of you guys ever seen a couple of Marvel digest-sized books with the titles G.I. Joe Spy Eyes and G.I. Joe Operation Disappearance?

 

I've seen them but do not know much about them. They are story books for children ages 6 to 10 (total guess on my part!) I believe.

 

 

Thanks, Silent Master!

 

I found the cover to G.I. Joe The Spy Eye on mycomicshops's website. You're right, it does look like beginning reader kind of book.

 

Any of you guys collect those G.I. Joe Choose-Your-Own Adventure books from the 80s?

I do have a full set of those! And a short set of GI Joe novels (geared towards 12 to 16 year olds).

I like collecting all the GI Joe printed material I can find. Even some 80's GI Joe coloring books.

Not really a "JOE" book, but i think it qualifies.....

 

Highest and only signature too!

 

.......opportunities to get Pat Lee's sig don't come around often.... Thanks to dscott on this one!

 

(thumbs u - Nice - Where was Lee signing at, I missed it!

60 moderns and 50 economy's waiting on my shelf since im not paying fasttrack. Cgc leaving money in my wallet due to horrific TaTs.

Oddly enough I'm the same way... I have a large group I was going to send in for pre-screening but I can't pull myself to do it. Having them just sit somewhere for 4+ months... just can't do it...

(I'd love to see the size of CGC's warehouse )

Just got these 2 done at the Baltimore Comic Con this weekend.

 

The 1st one is with CGC getting the Signature Series treatment.

 

"Firefly" by Eric Henson.

 

11x17 "Firefly" by SL Gallant (G.I. Joe ARAH artist).

Holy !!!!

- NICE!

(What blank is that?)

Where did you find those? I like the shelved drawer one....

Some place called Geek Design - http://geek-design.net/zencart2/

Thanks for your advice!

I'll keep scanning EBay...very proud of myself for finding a So Much Fun #63 this month for a reasonable price (bad condition, but again, I'm not as interested in grade per se)

 

I would ask you about some extras...but you're the "fantastically kind internet friend" I was talking about...you actually sent me a tremendous bunch of stuff a few years ago!

I would feel horribly guilty about hitting you up again...how about at least keep me in mind if you hear of something rare or a great deal for sale somewhere I might not be looking...

- Well that's good to know but I am always happy to help a Joe fan out when I can! I have a couple of Joe collectors that hook me up with stuff all the time so I'm just trying to spread the love!

I'll keep you in mind - but always feel free to hit me up on some specific books anytime!
