Acesilver,

Good to have you on the boards. (thumbs u

I saw on your registry that you stopped collecting HG JLA. Are you actively collecting something else now?

If you mean am I collecting any other HG titles or Silver Age, then no. I'm no longer in the hunt (which helps Tim out on carrying on the HG JLA legacy along with Rick ).

I have gotten hooked on a number of current DC storylines, GL, GL Corps (love the Sinestro Wars story arc), JLA, JSA, Checkmate, etc. But unless today's age becomes tomorrow's Silver Age I wouldn't call it a Pacific Coast collection of stuff.

Depends on the grade range you're shootin' for.

 

9.0 or higher, a decade seems overly optimistic...even in these "internet-available" times.

 

Unless your Uncle's last name is Gates or Buffet.

 

But anyways.

What are the 10 hardest JLA issues to find in high-grade?

(I'll define high-grade as CGC 9.0 or better for issues #1-26

and CGC 9.4 or better for issues #27-100)

For 1-26, I think there are only four issues that are really hard to find in 9.0 or better: 3, 4, 24 and 26

I would agree with 3 and 4. The best copy I could ever come across between the two was the #4 at 9.2 that I passed on and I believe Rick now owns. At the time, the other issues I couldn't locate in 9.4 range were #6, 10-12, 22-25? Although I did find most of them in 9.0 range.

It seemed like after the mid to late 20 issues you could find 9.4 with much greater frequency than anything in the first 20 or so imo.

Thanks Cap & Shadow,

that 9.2 is the highest graded copy that I've been able to find in over a year.

I don't believe there are any 9.4 or 9.6 copies

and I think I saw the highest graded copy posted on this thread by our very own tth2

Yep, and Tim & I couldn't agree on a sale price at the time.

What are your minimum grade requirements for your JLA collection?

 

For me, #1-50 in at least CGC 9.0 or better

#51-100 in at least CGC 9.4 or better

#101-200 (if I decide to collect them) in at least CGC 9.6 or better

 

 

1-29 9.2 or better

30-99 9.4 or better

I started at VF or better. Then got tired of paying to upgrade. So I finally settled on 9.4 or better for 1-50. And stopped collecting books outside of those. Even though I had 9.4 and 9.6 books scattered up through 120 or so.

I kind of figured you might. If you've mentioned it before in the threads and I missed it, my bad.

Since I don't check out the Gold threads what's the scoop on the Human Torch #1 that Mark Wilson is trying to sell for the tiny sum of $135K?

That's what comics are for!

 

 

Art is to be seen!

Extremely impressive collection Timely I haven't checked Parrino's site in a while. Any interest in the Marvel 1 Pay Copy? I only have a couple of Timely's and none up to the quality of these posts.
