  1. I will be shifting my focus over the next year more towards 1 or 2 ped books per month, and less and less on randomn raw copies

     

    So with that said, my newest pick-up

    And you make sure you keep it to only 1 or 2 ped books a month. Leave some for the rest of us. grin.gif

  2. Spidey has been my primary collecting interest since I started collecting in '86 (20 years this month!). I have every issue from 35 - present, except 49, and then a half-dozen copies below that. I used to have a ton of dupes, but as many have probably noticed, they've been leaking out on the Marketplace over time. I'm down to the HG dupes now.

     

    My VF 17 is the earliest. However, rather than filling the remaining holes, I've spent the last two years slowly upgrading books from 150-350, which were mostly purchased when I was younger and cared less for grade. I've had to replace an impressive amount. Its not far off to say that I've essentially recollected 150-350.

     

    No scans right now, but I'm most proud of my little pedigree run from 58-64, which includes a Green River (58), a Diamond Run (59), a Winnipeg (60), a Northland (63) and an Ohio (64). Not ultra high grade books, but happy little 9.0s and 9.2s. Anyone got a spare pedigreed 61 or 62? =)

     

    I hope to finish the year with the 150-350 being 10-15 books from being wrapped up as I'm real anxious to move down to 100-150.

  3. The whole in the cover on that Pacific Coast 47 on Colmore is a bit much for me. Since I know its there, I'd just stare at it every time I gt the book out.

     

    If that hole is where I think it is (I tought it was discoloration!), I'm surprised Kraven is still standing up 893scratchchin-thumb.gif

     

    Yeah, I had spoke to Mark about it a good long time ago and he confirmed it was a hole. Knowing the pedigree, Its probably one of the books only flaws, but still, like I said, its a glaring defect I'd stare at endlessly. =p

  4. Another recent addition. ASM #51 CGC 9.4 White pages Pacific Coast:

    Wow. Where'd this come from? Nice book!

     

     

    Colmorecomics I think

     

    at least gpa is showing a 9.4 sale from them

     

    Is it some advanced GPA membership that allows you to see where things sold from? I just see the PS, nothing to note where.

     

    And I guess we know where the 9.6 in May went too. =)
