Ha, I should have complained sooner. Our 11/3 went to GEI today!

Winner!

We have an 11/3/21 that is still SFG,  for a jump to the grading room to celebrate the anniversary. 

Xemnu. On second look the head plate gave it away. Nice detail @KirbyJack!

Dragoom was my guess too.

My first prehero in forever!   Always wanted a copy of this and could never find a good candidate!   Popped up tonight in the weekly.   For me, one of the best covers in the genre.

What does the collection sticker say? Did Heritage talk about it?

Good to see you! I completely agree on this cover, it’s a beauty. Tough book in decent grade as well, congrats!

Getting to be that time, my fellow monsterphiles! I don’t know what I’m doing this year, but it won’t be Goom again.

This never gets old.

I was very lucky to have some awesome "Strange" winnings the last few days. 

Congrats! I was one of the low underbidders on this one. Tough book. 

It’d be nice if we could hide the completed submissions if we wanted to. 

I did a submission yesterday and there is not a place to add a note for newsstand. I tried to write it at the end of my book listing and the form refused to recognize it. If it won’t show up in the drop down, which may take too much hassle, could there be a check box?

I liked these labels but the current ones are definitely better.

Here, and now here.

"Today, CGC is the world's largest and most trusted third-party grading service..."

not sure about that trusted part

“Most trusted” is still true when you consider the alternatives. Doesn’t make it a compliment.

I definitely want to put this in a new slab with the “PG” label, I also don’t like the free advertisement on the back. But I’m very happy to own this page. 

A little goo gone and elbow grease will take care of the advertisement. Kept threatening to start doing that to my wins for years and finally followed through. Now I remove a couple a week from previous buys in addition to any new ones.

I always liked this cover and the book was pretty cheap relative to other PCH books.  I always thought the zombie/skeleton looked like a monk 

 

So I'm not the only one that sees it as a monk. 

Would this be the right place to see if anyone knows about this Blackstone collection that is auctioning on ComicConnect this month? They had a small info section that basically said they found in when they were up in Chicago for the 2021 Wizard World. With the breadth and depth of what they showed it seemed like a pretty extensive collection. I bought several Marvel Tales issues and was just curious to get more background. If there is a thread elsewhere please point me in that direction. Thanks!

Getting excited, this time next week I’ll be on the way to Norman!
