Legion of Superheroes collecting thread
Silver replied to Johnny U's topic in Silver Age Comic Books
You would think most of these books are readily available, but finding nice copies is not easy. Some are more readily available than others, but in general you don’t see them as often as Marvel books. I have been looking for upgrades on 310for instance for a long time. -

There are several Chrome add ins for Photobucket album downloaders available, I bought one for $1.99 and have been moving albums out of Photobucket. -

28 copies isn’t a lot for a bronze book

It’s kind of a silly cover, but I always liked this one. Curt Swan was such an awesome artist. Look at the faces of the pets, they are taking this shiz seriously! -
It’s not easy to find in high grade, I remember looking for awhile. Think I settled on an 8.5 cause people wanted silly money for 9.4’s.

You’ll see a lot more 247’s out there than 248. Such a tough book! -

I am so impressed Ian! How much of 200-246 do you have complete? Please post your 248! I don’t know others know this, but this is a fairly significant collecting achievement in grade, there are many difficult issues in that run. -

Your pre Legion silver age Adventures are the best I have ever seen. I know you don’t profess to be a completionist, but do you know how many issues you have between 247 and 300? -

Silver replied to Johnny U's topic in Silver Age Comic Books
I agree Ian. I feel very remiss in that I completed the Adventure 300-380 in the pre CGC days and realize after seeing these gorgeous copies that I have quite a few mid grade copies. I have only two slabbed issues in that whole run! I had been looking for upgrades on 311and 312for years because mine were dogs (I now have a 8.5 and a NM- respectively) but I would love to up grade many on the issues between 310 and 340. It’s interesting that some issues show up routinely in high grade (like 304) and other you NEVER see (like 310-312). -
Superboy #8 (1950) First appearance of Superbaby!
Silver replied to Silver's topic in Golden/Silver/Bronze Age Only
Who knows, that 8.0 surprised me since it wasn't even census highest. I think a high grade 5 would kill based on that auction, almost as tough and a much better cover. I’m happy for rd-bar, I know what a great felling it is to complete that set given it ran for 30 years and 259 issues. I wonder who I sold that 3.5 too? Maybe comicdonna, I think I sold him a few of my undercopies. -
Why doesn’t CGC note Adventure 260 as 1st silverage Aquaman
Silver replied to rabidwolf's topic in Silver Age Comic Books
It’s kinda like saying”what’s the first silver age Superman, Batman, Superboy” etc, since they were all continually published through the entire decade(s). I agree, what book defines their revised origin. Interesting that Superman and aBatman don’t have a breakout book for the same reasons. There were so many retelling of their origins. Each added more to the lore. I always thought Superman 106 would be a key, but several issues later we get his name Kalel for the first time, and that isn’t ieven mention in the guide. -

Why doesn’t CGC note Adventure 260 as 1st silverage Aquaman
Silver replied to rabidwolf's topic in Silver Age Comic Books
It’s not the first SA appearance, he was also in 259, 258, 257.... -
Here is a real nice solid fine copy of Fightin' Marines #7 with a great Matt Baker cover (is it grey tone? looks cool) and Canteen Kate story "The Foxhole Floozie". I wonder if floozie was banned when the comics code came around? Nice tight copy, OW pages. Census highest is a 6.0 and there are only 3 copies on the census. Price is $400 shipped in the U.S. trumps PM's I take any form of payment (CK/MO/PP) and ship USPS priority mail. Thanks for looking!
