My copies are rags to your riches Always loved the monster western crossover issues.

Maybe just because its an awesome book ?

Wash. Rinse repeat

I go with both and call it a wash

First Tigra

Here's a beauty

And who doesn't love those Giant Size Books from 1975....

love those black picture frames part of a recent collection I purchased

I was scrolling through the thread and forgot to give a bit of an update...I am still waiting on several others to get back from CGC but I was very pleased with this one... That was a sweet find and congrats on the grade. I'm hoping to have a few high grade slabs come out of the last group I bought too...

Definitely a fun collection to find and the tourney was the cherry on top.

last couple scans, photos of the group later

yeah, it was fun, doing a little scanning now Whoa! Nice score!

I bought a collection on Saturday.... Best part, sharing photos with a few boardie buddies..... Best book is Iron Man 55 in 8.0+ Favorite Books are Giant Size 1974/5 issues (multiple copies in high grade, unread OO) All the 70's esoteric #1 issues Favorite non book Two 1975 Marvel binders Volume 9 longs, 2 shorts and a stack of treasuries Best runs Iron Man 1-200+ missing some and duplicates in the 70's-90's high grade OO The Surprises Nova 1, Rom 1 and a handful of newly hot books Worst Key ASM 129 filler copy Drek Lots of that also And the story I followed upon on an ad that was placed quite a while ago and only called the owner last week and told him over the phone to consider the books sold. I made the 320 mile round trip drive through a snow covered pass to meet up and have a cup of coffee and do some comic looking. The owner was a retired teacher that bought some in the 75-76 time frame with his son and then continued to be the collector for a while past that. He wanted to help his son collect, then realized that he was the collector. He did buy many books off the stands in the 70's in multiple copies so there are quite a few nice bronze books. Not the keys, but definately nice copies. The Giant Sizes were his favorite, so I am now the holder of a very nice grouping of high grade OO off the stands giant sizes. Sadly he did sell his two copies of GS X 1, but only after he was saavy enough to send them both to CGC unpressed and sold them for over $800 and over $500 a few years ago, so I guess he did all right with those. He said that he didn't sell any other books, but I do believe he pulled a few out for safe keeping like a high grade ASM 121, 122 and 129 that were on his list but not in the collection. When I asked, he said straight faced that he didn't sell any others, so It's also possible that someone realized those had value early and decided they needed them more. One will never know but I'm happy to have the sweet bronze off the stand OO books that he still had. I'll post up some images as I finally get to scanning a few and I'll post some photos too.... Fun Saturday.

TOS 36

hey

I have a mint copy of this error...bought over 30 years ago :: cool to see another

I've got to slab mine. Problem is I don't want to sell it ...8.0+ all day long

Amazing books. I wonder where we are with # of issues shown in this thread? There can't be too many missing at this point!

I love that rack! I've seen one being used as a display in an antique mall. The owner has no interest in selling. That's not you, is it? Depends on where you saw it? :: No that's not my rack. Mine is hidden away in my vault. I'd love to see a photo of the rack you speak of.

That 15 cent postage stamp belongs in my 1961 rack

Guess I need to finally let my spare valiant long box go :: We all have one

Tom gave me a shot at a bunch of pre hero TOS I needed for my run. I bought a bunch and love em. Always a pleasure to deal with and great communication. Arrived as described, safely in all their glory. Most trustworthy Boardie and all around great guy. Thanks

I collected supersnipe and all appearances...my thread is legendary in my own mind.

I've helped out many boardies by selling copies out of my personal collection. I have had a little bit of luck using it for my personal buying too but only on the more common books. Never had someone offer me a GA book I was looking for yet.
