    Fantastic Four Collecting Thread!

    in Silver Age Comic Books

    Posted

    Out of curiosity: did you purchase them CGC just for the warranty of the professional grading or simply because you liked the conditions?

    I still have my earliest issue (#3) in CGC and I would like to break it out of the case. I just bought it in CGC because I happened to win it at a decent price years ago, but I do not collect the books to keep them closed in the CGC case.

     

    I wanted the pro restoration check and the pro grading on these particular books. I like having most of my collection slabbed for the assurance they are good in case I want to sell them one day.

     

    I have all the reprints of these books so I don't mind they are sealed up now.

     

    There is nothing wrong with cracking your FF3 out of the case now that it is graded. Break it out and read it. Many do that. I've done it to some books. But most of my books stay slabbed. That's just me.

    My Conversation with Doug Schmell

    in Comics General

    Posted

    Some guy named Matt Holly who claimed to be some legal researcher came on and posted some homosexual epithet towards Doug because he bought books from Doug and the recent auction without knowing about his past... his horrible excuse for a post was deleted by the mods I presume....that's what bumped this the thread.

    Fangoria

    in Comic Magazines

    Posted · Edited by Mark 1

    Here are a few Fangos from my teenage years. These things were not collectible to me. These were research.

    I was planning to be the next Tom Savini, and I lived and breathed Fangoria.

     

    I also have a first print copy of Grande Illusions somewhere. My daughter (also a Savini nut) might possibly have it because I can't find it anywhere.

     

    Good times... :cloud9:

     

     

    This is great to read. When I was 15 and 16 my best friend Ron and I were huge Tom Davini and Rick Baker fans. We sculpted and made all kinds of make up with latex, air bladders, mechanics, etc...it was fun! My friends father thought we were getting lost in horror stuff and he started freaking out on us. We would spend hours doing horror make up... :cloud9:

     

    Fangoria was a favorite and I had tons of issues. 0 now.
