  1. It's definitely one of my favorite runs. Great covers and stories like Boscoe said, and believe it or not they're tough to come buy slabbed. After I get my # 1 9.8 from Boscoe, I'll have to get some # 3s on census.
  2. Very nice, covers don't get much better then 39 + 40 (thumbs u
  3. Yeah Don I love it. although I'm kinda the odd man out in present company. Somebody post a 8.0 Mine is a 7.5 W, would that make you feel better? much

  5. Yep! Very nice! Yeah, that's pretty much ideal imo
  6. Great stuff! Did you submit them or were they buys? Either way beautiful books! all buys.
  7. Very nice! especially that 37!... Funny thing about that 37, The guy that sold it to me, packed it horribly and I was shocked that it arrived in one piece. I mean really, why can't sellers actually give a spit and pack their books well... Joking.. in reality it took me like 20 minutes to free the 37 from it's fortress of cardboard thanks again Tom Thanks Joe, I'm very happy with them.
  8. Hey Joe, looks like next time I visit the family there's going to be a CGC meet up
  9. Tom has quickly become one of my favorite sellers here. The guys an Ace all the way. Heres the link: http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=4994467#Post4994467
  10. When Mark 1 was in PHX last time he had mentioned that you live near him so I figure since we determined 75 mile between my parents house and his, that it would be similar for you. Sids luncheonette (according to) the certificate.. was a shop in Orange NJ that "burntboy amassed the majority of his 1000 OO books between 60 and 64. and like namisgr said.. reall nice inks. this 33 is gorgeous.
  11. Palm beach gardens. Mark 1 said it was about 75 miles so half way wouldn't be too bad.
  12. NICE!!! It's too bad you live in Arizona. At the rate you buy books, if you lived in florida, we could hang out and have quite the bro-mance! You're definitely a buyer after my own heart! Next time im in Fl (parents house.) maybe you me and Mark 1 will hit a store of two.
  13. 3 nice books to add. Congrats. How close are you to a complete run? Loooooooong way to go. I'm only after 1-55 and I'm trying to do 7.0 +( except for 1) It'll be a while
  14. It's way cool that you and your son can share this hobby the way you do. Oh, and the room looks great too
  15. I am planning on using 2 - 4 cube Expedit units in brown black with white magazine drawers for my collection. Page 80 of the 2011 catalog That's what I did,easy access,works great. Here's the Master of comic shelves. Chromium a board member. Thank you to Oakman29 and Chromium for the great ideas. Here is what I spent my afternoon doing. My daughter helped me with the cutting, gluing and even the little Iron Man's on the top of the boxes. I'm almost done and need 3 more holders to finish holding the rest of my Iron man run and Sgt. Fury run. I'll finish it next weekend. I freakin love it! Thanks!! Where's your 39?
