Where's JATI? Love Acquire and all Sid Sackson games. Just a sample. I have them all...

Ya, not to continue the derail too much, but Acquire is probably one the greatest board games ever made. Monopoly for adults.

Ah, Board games. How people wasted their time before the Internet. I also collect 3M bookshelf games from the 50's & 60's. Acquire, Mr. President, etc., etc. They don't makes games like these anymore. The period illustration work is awesome purely on its own...

Misconstrue is probably the more accurate word than misunderstand...

the misunderstanding of subjective perceived value and a objective finite grading metrics in this thread is mind boggling.

Picked this up over the weekend for $20. Still sealed. It's still in transit, but the front looks like it says "comic book OFFER inside". I wonder if the book is actually in there, or if it's a mail away.... SURE hope it's the prior!

Impressive! I just had another Airboy graded that I thought was a slam dunk 9.8. It got a 9.6. So if anyone is interested.....

When you are trying to get a sketch on a blank cover, do people usually give it to the artist raw or prepped like it would be for a S/S but with a much bigger window??

... indeed. The face caused me to wonder, but the fingers caused me to doubt. But, that is totally a Stevens face Maybe AH is intentionally 'channeling' DS or something??? Arguably the 2 best "babe" artists ever..

It says "Dave Stevens" on the bottom right corner.. That's a pretty good indication.

Sorry.. I didn't really know what I had in mind until I saw a bunch of options.

In a fitting exchange this book has now been traded for a sweet ASM #252 9.8. Sorry to everyone else, the 252 offer was the first offer...

Sell some Moon Knights! :think: Blasphemy!

Those are disgusting.. If only I had some extra scratch..

What are you looking for? Something cool/unique? Not really picky, just something that strikes me the right way when I see it.

I have 2 now, and I'd rather trade it than sell it...

It's the back cover... I just scanned the label, flipped the slab, and scanned the back cover. The actual slab looks normal, with the Starslayer cover under the label. I really wish you could request to have them insert it backwards, since I slabbed it for the Stevens, not the Grell. Now that I've upgraded though, it can go over to my Grell collection Now that you have the 9.9, would you part with the 9.8?

sell me your slabs.

it's possible I'm blind, but it looks like you're missing this early DS gem?

Some rare DS Marvel heroes OA. http://cgi.ebay.com/DAVE-STEVENS-Avengers-ORIG-ART-Hulk-THOR-Capt-AMERICA-/400211030276?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5d2e6fb104

Thanks! I caught a little flak for small sig boxes when I prepped the books, but I like well placed sigs.

wewt!
