Noble Nostalgia aka Nikelspot

Finally snagged a vintage Starlin piece to call my own. I need a Strange Tales #181 9.8 with white pages that is nicely centered if anyone has one for sale.

I will after I press it

That's it brothaman. Those get blue labeled from what I've seen

Thank you. Why do the variant errors not get green labels?

Hey, thank you. I figured it was an error. I will send it to CGC and see what they say and get back here.

I am just asking if anyone has encountered this or maybe that I am possibly mistaken. I have had tons of copies of this book but I found this copy in a collection that I recently bought and I don't recall ever seeing this before. This copy of Bloodshot #0 has a clear/see through logo and parts of the cover are clear. I pretty sure it is some type of error but any help would be appreciated. I will be off and on today but can provide more if need be. Thanks, Nik

Nice book ! Possible White Mountain ? I really don't think so, Bob. I know where it originally came from and the guy bought it over 40 years ago.

Thank you fellas. I would love to find a 9.8 of the Cap Marvel 17, but some of those 15 cent Marvels are the toughest in the hobby to find in grade. This one is pretty tough also. I didn't like the '58' in the top right corner at first, but with as tough as it is to find a decent copy of this book it grew to be not such a big deal.

Troy is the man! Always a pleasure to deal with.

Appetite, addiction, same thing

Trying to catch up with you bro!

I picked these up this month. The MP #1 page is a dream for me. I picked up some other cool stuff too. I'm always looking to buy cosmic stuff, so keep me in mind 1st New appearance of Toxin/Eddie Brock: Death of Magus Retold: Final Page Splash to IW #2: Final Warlock vs. Magus Battle from Infinity War: And some other goodies:

That hurts, Claudio Nah, I understand though. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder in many thing in life. I always strive to make a distinction and separate simple taste from criticism. There are great artists I really just don’t like, but I recognize the quality of the work. With Lim, especially in his early years there are proper flaws, both in proportions, anatomy, composition, and they are not deliberate interpretations: they just show a lack of background in drawing, an insufficient grasp on the volumes of the figures, etc. He had and has good composition skills, he knows how to tell a story, but the drawings in themselves have often many defects. Now, if one wants to find such defects in artists like – say – Todd McFarlane, it becomes more difficult to determine whether they are limits or in single cases choices, because his art is caricatural, but with Lim that always worked in a realistic way they just pop up. This does not mean he did not have qualities, but his work at the time was still immature and had objective flaws (I have not followed him recently but I seem to get he improved, much like Jim Lee, which had different defects, and worse ones we could say, as they were related to storytelling). I understand for sure. But nostalgia covers a multitude of defects when it comes to early 90's art.

Thank you, yep it's a piece I thought I would never own. Here a few more cool pieces I recently added to my art collection. And I'm always looking to buy more Cosmic Marvel pieces if anybody has any to sell 1st New appearance of Toxin/Eddie Brock: Death of Magus Retold: Final Page Splash to IW #2: Final Warlock vs. Magus Battle from Infinity War: And some other goodies:

A 9.8 copy of MP #1 still eludes me but I think this will work just fine for now

Randall is a staple of the Boards. Always a pleasure to deal with and he's a terrific buyer with great taste

Tracee is great to deal with! No worries here!
