Parabellum

Not in high demand but not something you see everyday.  One of two in 9.8.

That’s too bad.  RIP

I dont know why but I'm starting to like this cover more than the first issue, and this might be the coolest CGC signature series example I have seen. You got Beatty, Zeck, remark and the 9.8! Dont see that every day. Beautiful book! 

Thank you!

This is my favorite cover of the series.  When I saw this book on eBay I had to win, hahaha.

One thing I don't care for too much is when someone goes and writes a massive essay for the description.  

Yep, guilty of that, 🤣.  But most of my set descriptions are fairly short with the exception of Punisher Limited Series and The ‘Nam.

Punisher limited series 1-5 newsstand.  Advertised as NM, not sure about that but condition looks pretty good.
 

I never read Punisher as a kid except stuff he was a guest in, but I ALWAYS wanted this series.  He’s become one of my favorites as an adult.

My favorite mini series.  Nice pick ups.

Awesome breakdown!  Thank you.

RIP Brother…

The first CGC 9.9 for a Caliber published Crow showed up on the CGC Census this week.  It is a Crow #2.

Curious to see how much that would sell for, I’m guessing 3-5K range maybe more.

Thank you kind sir.  Acquiring this was a bit of a roller coaster.

Perfect set, complete!!

Did you get those Dead Worlds off eBay?  If you did do you mind me asking how much you paid for the pair?  Great set btw!!!

New arrival!  Punisher Limited Series #1 CGC 9.8 SS Canadian Price Variant!!!  I only need #3 for a complete CPV set.

Thats typically what happens.

Expanded sets, so all the variants are included should be a separate.   The Wolverine mini series is great example.   There's multiple versions of US edition insignia, newsstand copies, and 3 CPV editions.   A full completed set of Wolverine mini series could be expanded to 12 books straight away.  But the original set of 5 would, and should remain as it currently is.

 

Thats my intention with the Punisher Limited Series.  I will request a “Punisher Limited Series (complete with variants) set.

I do not think current sets should be changed to allow the addition newsstand slot.  If registry set participants want newsstand slots for a particular set then they should request a new one be built.  There are sets like this that exist.  Wolverine mini series and Dark Knight Returns are some examples of different sets tailored to just first print collectors and others who like to collect Canadian price variants or follow on printings.  If the collector doesn’t want to go through the process of requesting a new set then just add a picture of the newsstand copy to image #2.  I really have no skin the game as a vast majority of my sets did not have newsstand editions.  But I do think this is unfair to people that have achieved 100% on some really difficult sets to have it get ruined by a new slot appearing.  Just my .02 cents.

Cool books!

👏 You picked that copy up!! @Parabellum  great cover!!

Yes Sir!  I couldn’t pass on that price.

Got it all squared away now.  I figured out the issue; apparently if I don’t have my VPN on the photo will not appear.  Sounds weird but I am currently broad for work so maybe imgur doesn’t like foreign IP addresses.  If you guys have a spare minute feel free to take a look, it’s pretty much complete.  Let me know what you think bad or good.  Thanks again for all the help.

Now I’m having issues loading an image.  Im using the same line of code and all I see is the “name of the picture” a question mark and an outline.  I am using safari and also used Firefox with the same result.  I tried the old images that I’ve already upload and they still work.  Don’t know what the issue is.

@Iconic1sThank you very much!!!  It’s slow going but it’s coming along.  Imgur is super slow with editing pictures.  This has been a lot of trial and error.  Makes it even harder when “coding” is not my strong suit.  I do appreciate all the help you guys have given me.

Here is a link to the set that I am modifying with the kindness of you all: https://comics.www.collectors-society.com/registry/comics/PeopleSetDetail.aspx?PeopleSetID=132861

It is far from finished.  I will be adding more pics of comics and other subjects.  This is far from done but any critiques or comments would be much appreciated.

I will!!!
