More details in your post than I had known. Thanks for the write up.  Here are the 3 that made it into my collection. Unfortunately 2 were pressed before they came to me, but that's how it is these days.

Picked up these 3 Bowling Green books on Heritage today for my (forever in progress) Strange Tales set.

These days any valuable original label book changing hands a few times will be cracked, cleaned, pressed and regraded if they have pressable defects, and often even if they don't.  If you see one on the market that hasn't been, its because its been sitting in a collection for years, or isn't worth enough to press.  I currently own 21 original label books, and all else being equal I will choose an original label book over others every time.

I mainly focused on Warren Vampirella mags this year, but I also picked up the last Doctor Strange 1st run issue I was missing. So here are Vampi #1, the Vampi Special Edition, and Doctor Strange 179.

A couple more of mine, one comic related, the other not, but still cool. The first I bought because I liked the subject and it matched the day-glow marvel third eye posters. The second is of course, Vampirella. The vampi I had to take at an odd angle to minimize glare.

Here are a pair of original Marvel third eye 1971 posters.  I picked these up from Dark Adventure Comics in GA via ebay in 2003 for something like $30 each.

Another great round of pickups including some key issues (whether you think Frazetta covers or first appearances are key, you're covered!)

Another opportunity to pick up some great Vampi books came along that I just couldn't pass up.

Here we go. This might be it for a while. Vampi is draining my bank account instead of my blood...

I picked this one up on Comiclink last night, which completes my graded Doctor Strange run, finally!

Finally an update to my Club entry.  Here is my old and new copies together.

Just won this on Comic Link.  The 9.6 went for an astronomical $27,255. That convinced me to settle for the 9.2 that went up right after it. I actually passed on the last 2 9.2s I've seen up for sale. Happy with this one!

One more pickup!

Two more!  No scanner anymore so you'll have to endure my photos.  The scratch on #89 is on the case.

Aside from the HC Special (which was a spectacular deal), the Vampirella 12, 13, 14, and 18 were pretty screaming deals as well.  Note how quickly these books sold.  That's a strong indication of how cheap they were for the market.  I think the sale of the Vampi 1 in 9.2 will turn out to be a value as well.  Someone did pretty well there.

I was lucky enough to get the 12, 13 and 18.  I believe Darkga got the 14. I was too late for some of the other goodness that they sold that day.

 It's been a long time, but  I finally have a few new books to add to the Vampi collection.
