but you DON'T need this one! you got to jonesing for yours while looking 6 feet deep into this one last year.

 

A lot of decent pick-ups Bill!!! Congrats!!!

 

Thanks!

 

Here are the other three I submitted for onsite grading

 

Very nice! Congrats Bill!

Went to the bank today to clean out my safe deposit box, prepping everything for the move down to NC. Snapped this pic before I put them all away.

 

Awesome books! Welcome to the state!

This could be a lot better with a little work (most are in pretty shabby condition).

I am a big fan of the golden age Flash but he has always taken 3rd or 4th place behind Batman, Superman and Green Lantern.

 

 

Quite fond of the fastest man alive myself!

 

 

Great set

 

Love the Tec 31 in the back row too

That one's moved on to my partner in nerdism!

Beautiful books! Congrats on the pick ups!

Bought Our Army at War 81, great looking book and outstanding packing. Thanks!

I picked up my 11th Planet the other day, so it motivated me to take a group shot.

On a side note, it is difficult to take a picture of more than 2 books so I have a new appreciation for most of the great pictures taken in this thread.

 

Great books! Once upon a time I ventured to put that run together but I got side tracked by about ten other titles!

Good luck with the run, it's a great title!

A few new Centaurs...

 

 

 

Wow!! Another batch of killer Centaurs. Nice work!

+1

Man, those are awesome!

Since I finished paying this one off I may as well post it here as well as the Real Life 3 thread... A big grail for me...

 

One of my all time favorite Hitler covers! Super congrats on a real beaut!!

Some semi-recent purchases, some a bit older that I hadn't had a chance to scan...

 

 

 

 

Those are great! Especially love the BBW!

Here are a couple I picked up early this year. One of them courtesy of drbanner.

I'm very happy with each but the deeper purple stands out on the right copy.

 

Great pair!

One of my new purchases came in thanks to a boardie!'

 

Witches Tale # 15

 

Nice one!

Awesome books!!

Bought a big ol' pile of vintage PB's from our own eccomics, found a couple more L B Cole covers in the lot. Here's the first.

 

 

 

It has a hint of the classic Cole palette to it, just not quite as bold.

Both of those are very cool and the condition is amazing!

Here's a pic for the group shot thread.

 

Since I was able to pick up Silver Streak #8 from my pal Larry at last weekends' BBQ at Todd's house, I thought a small group shot of the three issues I have was in order

 

Awesome books! The 6 is one of my all time favorites and you just can't beat those Claw covers, all classics!

One of the best covers ever! Congrats on the pick up!!

A humble offering certainly, but I love 'em.

With the addition of number 30 today, I thought I'd take a little group shot of 19-30. Sooo close to the end of my little run I can taste it!

Now the fun part. I bought it as a 4.5 (and paid dreadfully for it) and was told there was some fresh tape due to some spine splitting. Turns out, the cover is detached and fully split. Only the tape is keeping it in one piece and attached to the book. With CGC's ludicrous tape bump, it might get a 1.8. Without the tape, a 1.0. The book is so precarious I can't even open it up to read it before mailing it back. I'm not sure that the centerfold wasn't loose and reattached when the cover was put back on.

 

Sucky bummer mixed with a bit of pissed off.

That is definitely a bummer, not the kind of surprise you like to find. Aggravation as much as disappointment

I recently got this one from Jim Payette. I don't know how Wertham missed the Giggling Killer story. One of the goriest pre-code books I've ever seen.

 

 

 

Yeah Wertham missed an opportunity to boost the campaign for animal rights on this one. Poor pooch!

Recent addition to my Batman set

 

Very cool! I love that issue. Saw your list for the subset over in Gold, I need a few of the same. I'm only doing to 30 though (for now anyway). Still need 1-4, 8, 16 and 18. It is a very fun little run
