  1. Thank you for sharing @Jugger Grimrod. That’s is quite an amazing piece of work right there. You’re absolutely right about owning any of the original books 9.8. Definitely hard to come by and worth every penny. My 9.8 set is hands down a keeper.
  2. Lol, yeah there isn’t any spine tics or “fuzziness”. The little bit of white is where the color broke during printing when the book was stapled and folded closed. The other “blemishes” are from the scan not on the actual book.
  3. Thanks for the heads up Mike! Had to upgrade. My 9.6 always made my OCD flare up, lol.
  4. I believe Zeck’s artwork was a major factor in the Punisher’s popularity in the 80’s. Still my favorite of all time. I always make it a point to see him whenever he comes to Baltimore comic con.
  5. “Going into the weeds” I personally think is the best part wether raw or graded. I have several registry sets. Some are just first print runs and others cover variants and follow on printings. I have an obsession with second, third, forth, etc prints. I think they’re cool, especially is high grade. What I consider when I want to slab a set is: number of issues, do I really care about the full run or just the keys, and cost. But like what Gatsby77 said, “Whatever makes you happy.”
  6. I have kicked the can so long on this book it was time to pull the trigger.
  7. Thank you! @Ira K Ill take a pic of all of them together when I get a chance.
  8. Those black covers are brutal. They show every flaw.
  9. Thank you @oakman29, took 19 months but it was worth it.
  10. Are you going to try and upgrade or get another copy?
