    Jayman reacted to comicstock in THE HUNT has finally ended !   
    SILVER STREAK #14
    This issue completes my run of Silver Streak #6-17 (all Daredevil issues) and Daredevil Comics #1-134 plus a Slugger #1.  All the Silver Streaks are slabbed as are the first 35 issues + 8 later issues of Daredevil Comics.
    Fifty years to finally get it done!  The memories....
    Lots of mail orders in the late 60s-80s.  Passaic Book Center, Donald Puff and many others.  Buying up copies at Creation Cons in Manhattan & Philadelphia plus Fred Greenberg & Bob Horn shows from NY, NJ, PA.
    Thank goodness for the internet since the late nineties-current, keeping the hunt ever moving forward filling in many remaining holes.
    My first DD key was the #1 from a nice gentleman named Richard Hoffman, who lived outside of Buffalo, NY.  He ran an ad (1981) in Comics Buyers Guide pricing it at $350 and was kind enough to let me make time payments.  I have his short letter somewhere around here thanking me for the purchase after I paid it off.  I called him about twenty years ago.  He told me pretty much everything he advertised 20 years earlier was sold but I told him I just wanted to thank him again for making the book available.  The book was submitted to CGC many years ago and received Blue Label 5.0.  I won the Silver Streak #6 (1st appearance) in a ComicLink auction 8-9 years ago.  A nice 7.5.  Bought the DD #11 classic bondage/torture cover at a Creation show in NYC for $100 around 1980.  CGC grade 7.0.  I traveled many times during the 70s-80s to all the comic shops in NJ, PA & NYC.  Scored some later issue buys at Quality Comics in Somerville, NJ & Comic Investments, Philly suburb.  Those were good times....
    What next?  I'll continue to upgrade these books and of course, pay off comic book debt.  Thanks for reading!

    Jayman got a reaction from Keys_Collector in Most Undervalued PCH Book   
    It's really tough to say which book is the most undervalued as most collectors of Precode Horror already know which issues  are the most desirable. Having said that, this issue comes to mind as a book that still has room to grow. Frankenstein started out as humor title  but with this issue it switched over to straight horror. Again, most collectors here know this but the overall collecting community may not.

    That's actually a pretty good list!?
    I'd add AITU 1, Eerie 1, Menace 1, MM 12, CoC 23, Horrific 3 and Venus 18 to that list.

    I just received another email from the company at 9pm; awesome customer service! They informed me it’s from the screening process when pulling paper and that some are more noticeable than others.

    great - I've got a lot of golden age comics-paperbacks-pulps-digests-&-hardbacks that bring me continual pleasure. I consider this PB I got at the end of 2017 a key -was $7.70 delivered
