And this wasn’t even the worst of it...

Also have a 9.6 newsstand graded by cbcs but my set is cgc

Thanks guys! I actually got it from Bob storms and the thread with the spin a wheel!
I recently gave my raw to @Crops068 at a Roy Thomas signing here locally, and crops supplied a avengers #66 1st app of ADAMANTIUM for me to get signed by Roy, there is a thread floating around here somewhere
But I'm rambling, after taking pics, I noticed something, the case was accidentally cracked in shipping, a peg snapped on the older case. Bless @blazingbob for being gracious to let me reholder, because I agree this copy is a keeper 
the package was packed well, so it must have just been fragile.....
so anyway  I'm long winded today, but
 
 
 

Agreed. There are some gorgeous books floating around in 9.4 cases that never get the time of day from collectors because of the number on the label. Not complaining, means more cheap books for me!

Received a few more copies back from CGC so I’ve updated the photo.  Still waiting on a few more copies to be signed, and I’ll update the pic when I get them back.
happy collecting 

Punching my ticket to the club.

White pages pick up tonight...

 
 
 

Arrived Monday.

 

Yesterday's delivery, Sellers images.

Some more Punisher: Armory 💀

Story: So I'm a marvel collector. I own 46 comics and 44 are marvel. I also recognize batman and joker are the GOATS of comics. I never could afford a big complete 1st app and with all the grails I have I never felt anything less would do them justice. So i found a solution...a few pages in 1 slab featuring one on the front and both fighting on the back. Even a page in between. Lol .1 grade but I dont care it's from 1940 and something I didnt think I would ever have. 
 

I like that Mr. Robert Englund was able to write one of his iconic slogans. Thanks @Kevlar  
was able to 

Signed & "Stay Frosty" quote by Michael Biehn!
Another thanks to @radicalmichael for helping me get this book!

Some really presentable mid-grade silver age, that I've accumulated through the past 6 years..... that thanks to turn arounds currently and membership credit I had the guts to send in
 

These comics came back a couple of months ago but it took me a while to image them. I never get tired of 1950's DCs or Dell painted science fiction covers. Contact me if you have any you want to get rid of. The price guide and Stan Lee book are from 6 months ago. I hate the way the price guide is slabbed: the slab is over-sized and the book seems loose. I don't know if it could be done differently but it sure ain't done well.

Super happy to get all these keys in one fell swoop.
 

Off The Rack=Awesome!!  

Very nice! Great centering on the 9.6! I bought 1-10 in higher grade CGC. Two are signed (#1 and #10 and a 4.0 #4 I don't have a scan for). I would like a second set all signed in high grade CGC or not. I am tired of the premium sellers add to CGC books. They didn't pay for it most times. Why am I?

This morning, my wife said "Happy Fathers Day" to me and said for a present to myself, I can get a new vintage comic book without a big discussion for days about it but it has to have a dog storyline. I said "Be careful what you say." Then I picked out the Swamp Thing #7 signed by Bernie Wrightson. That has everything to do with a dog. LOL!

Since you mention dogged - I have said this book has so much going for it - O'Neil/Wrightson, Swampy, Bats, a great cover, and a puppy.  
I had two of my copies graded.  I have #s 3, 5, and three copies of 9 SS by Wrightson when I was into SS.  My intent before I got out of SS submissions was to get the run signed.
 
Love your raw copy signed by Wrightson.  Very, very nice 
 

Lol I thought this was silver age for some reason 

@ThothAmon this is your 1st appearance, correct? Excuse the low grade.
