    It’s not much I know. My collecting focus isn’t Spider-man but Punisher appearances within the Spider-man storyline. Though I would like a 9.4 white page copy of ASM 50 at some point.
  2. Parabellum
    Only 9.8 on the census.

    😂 Issues 1-3 are solid 9.6’s but each issue has 1-2 small color breaking spine ticks unfortunately. Primer 2 is the only one that really has a shot. That would be awesome if they all upgraded to 9.8 with a clean and press. I would really want to have a good look at 1-3 in 9.8 and compare them to mine.

    The only problem with me having Primer 2 in 9.8 is then I will have to get the rest of the set in 9.8……. Well, I made it happen with my 9.8 Crow set so maybe the comic gods will smile on me once more.

    Totally agree with you in regards to a resubmit. I would never crack this slab myself. I would want CGC to see the prior grade. Maybe one day I’ll gather up the courage to do it, hahaha.

    I think my Primer 2 could press out to a 9.8. Grendel 1-3 are solid 9.6’s but not 9.8’s. The only issue with Primer 2 is one tiny spine tick and a that just barely breaks color and a “wrinkle” on the top right corner on the back. I have seen this same defect at the same spot on other 9.8’s. But Im really hesitant to crack the case and resubmit. I’d give it a 50/50 chance of an upgrade.

    No you haven’t. When you own a white page 9.8 set you can post as many times as you want on here. As long as you keep posting pics of said set…

    For me the hardest book to find with white pages was #1. I managed to get Primer 2 and Grendel 2, 3 within a month; #1 took me almost a year and half to find. I agree, now is the time to buy.

    Please dont re-slab Primer 2. Im partial to the old label goodness.

    Considering how hard it is to get 9.8’s with white pages I would say 15-18k for the set is about right. I put a lot of stock in white page copies. COMICMYLARS’ asking price is just too much in my opinion (due to page quality). He has notoriously high asking prices anyway. I look at Grendel like TMNT. Everyone wants a copy of TMNT 1 first printing just like Primer 2. The other issues aren’t as “mainstream”. Those are for the true fans of the series. I agree that a 9.6 set can be found for 3k or less. Again, the tricky part is finding white page copies. Beautiful set BTW, congrats!

    I agree. It isn't Punisher Soviet but I have no complaints.

    Based on what I have been posting lately I collect the stuff no one cares about, hahaha. Regardless here’s my latest.
  15. Parabellum
    I like it so far.
  16. Parabellum
    Sharp copy!!!
  17. Parabellum
    I’d pay a little more for a red label book. I don’t re-slab books unless the there is damage. For me it’s like preserving history.
  18. Parabellum
    Miller, Zeck, Lee, Golden
  19. Parabellum
    I love that Golden cover!
  20. Parabellum
    Nice grab Mike!
  21. Parabellum
    Maybe it’s just me but the corners don’t look that sharp. Also is that a spine tick to the left of the black arrow “He’s here….”?
  22. Parabellum
    I would like to see what the comic looks like now.
  23. Parabellum
    I got a few of the old labels blue and red. Unless the cases crack I wont reholder them.
  24. Parabellum
    Does anyone have current photos of that 181 in 9.9?
  25. Parabellum
    The only newsstand books I actively collect is the 1986 Punisher Limited Series in 9.8. Outside of that if I could care less.
