  1. I no longer collect Conan, but I did keep these three issues because they're in really nice shape, especially the Annual which is flawless. (Disregard wavy lines which are light reflection off Mylar.)
  2. A couple of nice bronze Spideys from a collection I bought in 1993 which has paid for itself about 20 times over by now....
  3. I paid $900 for this copy in 2000. I'm not sure exactly how it would grade, but I do know I like it better than almost every CGC 9.2 and 9.4 that I've seen. Great in terms of QP and color saturation!
  4. Picked this up as part of a collection I bought in 1993. That collection is still the best buy I ever made!
  5. It must be really tough holding out for 9.8s of these. I find it hard enough to come by a nice 9.6 or the raw equivalent. My 437 is a possible 9.6, but a 9.8, especially with 100 pagers, is so hard to predict.
  6. I'm a big fan of the Sand Superman Saga, although it certainly could have ended better. But it did usher in Supes' Bronze Age...
  7. Another recent pickup. Another book I had a tough time finding in high grade for years.
  8. I've been working on these bronze runs of the Superman titles for 20+ years. They, along with Shazam, were my absolute faves as a 7 year old. Here's an issue that eluded me in high grade for years that I finally picked up recently...
  9. Maybe that's why I always enjoyed Kirby's FF work inked by Sinnott. It reigns in some of his more excessive tendencies.
  10. I've always found FF 117 and 118 to be particularly cool and unique because of the rare combination of 20 cent price and old style FF logo.
  11. Thanks for the information, and a very accurate prediction. Listed and sold in 10 minutes!
  12. I was just going through my collection and realized I have a pretty nice Avengers 147 30-cent variant. Probably in the vicinity of 9.0-9.2. I am clueless on variants, is this a pretty common one, or worth offering for sale? Thanks for any insight.
  13. Picked up these two as part of a Big Apple mega deal!
  14. Monterey Copy - I remember this book very clearly from owning it as a kid, thrilled to own a flawless copy....
  15. My favorite pedigree for this kind of stuff is the Monterey collection. Once you get to a certain point in the early-mid '70s the books are incredible, just flawless. I was lucky enough to pick up a dozen or so World's Finests and a couple of Actions from Ronnie Murry years ago on eBay for peanuts. Will post a few when I get the chance.
