  1. I've had mine for about 2 years but just found the club. It's tough to follow the Kirby recreation, but here goes...

     

    Welcome to the TOS club! You and I are back to back in the registry...very cool

     

    Are you on the hunt for the whole run? I have some under copies that might be for sale once I complete the run all slabbed. :baiting:

     

    Thanks! Always nice to meet a neighbor. Yeah, I am working on the whole run, even the pre-hero stuff (another registry set). I'm shooting for above 6.0 in #1-38, whatever I can afford #39-60, and any grade starting with a 9 from #61-99. So depending on where your undercopies may fall in I would definitely be interested!

    Welcome to the club good sir. :applause:

     

    Thanks! At the time this was the most I'd ever laid out on a collectible, but this purchase was the warm up for my ultimate grail the next summer, the AF 15. The 39 is high on my list of most prized non-Spidey books.

  3. By the by....trying to track what's been re-subbed? Forget it. It's not in the interests of those doing the re-subbing to have the general public know that books that may have resided in lower grade slabs are now in higher grades.

     

    I wouldn't guess that this is in CGC's interests either, and they keep the census...

  4. Every copy of this issue that I have seen has this miscut where the top is narrower than the bottom. I don't know if they are all from the same set that I have or if the miscut is more wide spread.

     

    Lots of the Pre-Hero Marvels I have seen have goofy miscuts like that. TOS #34 is one in particular that I have seen a lot of miscuts like you describe for the #12.

  5. I went after a couple but lost on both.

     

    Yeah, I lost more than I won but there were some deals to be had. Some of the ultra high grade prices were very strong IMHO, but a lot of the sub-9.2 material was quite reasonable in the titles I was watching.
