Hope you still have all your comics , 🎶‼️They have tripled in price

 thanks, yes I still have most of my comics they're like my babies I can't part with them.  I did sell two that I had in my PC to take the family on vacation one year but I'm still buying a few issues here and there trying to finish some runs

I too thought it looked amazing.  Even better once Joey worked his magic.  

Thank you!

Yeah I thought lowest 9.4 but maybe a 9.6 to 9.8 with a press

with Don's books most of them are nice they just need a good press to look really good 

the older stuff as you would expect is rougher but the newer books mostly just have stacking and bends which most can be pressed out, I'm sure I've missed some here and there but he had so many boxes to go thru and trying to check every one for staples, pages, covers, coupons and with the job and family it's been a little more stressful than I thought it would be  plus I'm not a young as I used to be

Almost exactly 8 months.  It was completely worth the wait. This came out gorgeous.  I can not thank both @Azkaban and @joeypost enough for this ! 

Thank you again !  

I knew it  I'm not a grading champ for nothing

that was Stan's genius ! even the Gibbon !! the characters Stan created were more real than anything that comics gave us before he came along , both his heroes and villains had flaws and fears and everything else just like real people , before Marvel and Stan Lee came around it was just mostly DC comics,... and  DC characters were all for the most part one-dimensional and completely unbelievable

it's funny you say that, my Dad would come home from work look in my room and say I see you're still reading those funny books. It used to make me so mad, I would say Dad these aren't like Mickey and Donald books these are like real life

STAN'S final issue  

In 1972, Lee stopped writing monthly comic books to assume the role of publisher. His final issue of The Amazing Spider-Man was #110 (July 1972)

nice, didn't know that when I read this at my young age I always felt sorry for the Gibbon

finally was able to add to my X-Men run, 2 books that I could not find nice looking copy's of until now thanks to Don 

my Dad had bought this copy for me when I was younger and it is trashed now, found this sweet looking copy and had to add it 

some I added to the collection this past weekend

Oh and none of them were pressed or cleaned, not that there is anything wrong with that  an old Seinfeld joke for all you young kids out there 

this is one I sent in that I got from my very good friend that passed away last year

this is one I got from my local LCS. My guy Mike is very nice to me, got at a great price

thought I would post up a few I got from CGC that my good friend @walclark took care of sending and delivering for me. The first three are books from my PC, thought they were a little hard on the TTA. I think the grading is pretty hard right now.
