    No worries, I did a few Youtube Videos on it and posted in some comic and Ghostbusters Groups people where generally surprised about it, Ive since noticed a few Ebay Sales since. But I think the moment CGC or Key Collector officially Recognise it, I think they will spike a little.

    I sent a massive email to Key Collector explaining it all I never heard anything back but a few days later the listing for the books they already had changed to "First Team Appearance" rather than First Appearance and they added a bunch more Ghostbusters Keys previously not on there. But Eagle comics are strangely not on the system but 2000ad and other British titles from the same publishers are so maybe they are adding them who knows haha.

     

    I’ve sent them emails as well in the past and have not gotten a response either.  But I did see that they made the recommended changes.

    This is an Old Thread but I recently made the Discovery that the First Official Appearance of Ghostbusters in Comic Books happened in 1985 3 Years before The Now and Marvel UK comics that CGC and Key Collector Acknowledge Ghostbusters (Yes the Movie Ghostbusters not FilmNation) actually Debut in British Comic the Eagle issues #187 to #191 

    Here are the actual Details I believe Recently Keycollector updated The Now and Marvel issues to First Team Appearance.

    Issue 187 from 19th of October 1985 – Is the First Appearance of the Ghostbusters as an Organization, First Appearance Ghostbusters HQ

     

    Issue 188 From 26th of October 1985 – First Appearance of the Iconic Proton Pack In Comics  

     

    Issue 189 From 2nd of November 1985 – First Appearance of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man

     

    Issue 190  From 9th of November 1985 – First Title Cover Appearance of The Ghostbusters

     

    Issue 191 From 16th of November 1985 – First Appearance of The Temple of Zuul

    Picked up @Parabellum leftovers on eBay that I still needed for my graded collection. 😆

    I need to send in my submissions soon, always doubting/removing them  🙃

    Punisher (2000 series) #5  💀05BB4C0B-CF5F-40C7-8054-64799B195661.jpeg.eb1a200e03765eb737ede3f417305b77.jpeg

    @nepatkm I’m trying to keep up with you, 🤣.

    If you have any 9.8 doubles of #’s 6,10,11 of the 2000 series let me know.  I NEED them.

  5. A large portion of my collection is 9.8’s or higher.  The books that are graded lower is because either I couldn’t afford a 9.8 or finding a 9.8 copy wasn’t worth it to me.  Keep in mind my focus is Copper to early modern age so the price point for a 9.8 is significantly lower than GA/SA/BA.  Plus, anything below 9.8 in 99% of that era do not retain value and are harder to sell if that time comes.

    Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

    My collecting days may be over. This is all I ever wanted. Not sure if there is anything else that I would want to collect now that I have my grail.

    If your collecting days are over you went out with a bang in my opinion.

    So for folks following along, after 20 years of searching and submitting, I recently acquired a Grendel #1 and #2 in CGC 9.8 universal white pages. Once that happened I decided to send my Primer #2 and Grendel #3 (already graded 9.8 universal white pages) back to CGC to get reholdered so all the labels and cases matched. I wanted this collection to truly be the best set available. They just came back today. Here is a pic of these beauties. 😈
