@comicquant @Shaolingoat....wait until you see my signature line.

Well you better do it yourself, because John won't help with it.

Amazing Spider-Man #15 - CGC 7.5 OW/WH - First Kraven

Offers are always welcome no matter how ridiculous!

Asking:  $850 

 

 

Would you be interested in a trade for a Ghost Rider? Asking for @Batmanderson.  

My main goals for the year are:

1. Keep chipping away at my high grade Avengers 1-100 run.

2. Make a serious play for a mid-grade Hulk 1 later in the year.

Gotta give Bob ( @blazingbob - HighGradeComics.com) a shout for finding a seemingly impossibly difficult to locate, high grade, early issue run of Amazing Spider-man.  While mine is the lowest grade of the batch it is a book thats been on my want list in 8.5 or higher for almost two years.  Also, have to thank @Shaolingoat for pointing out the books!   

 

Well it was either that, or watch you buy more Ghost Riders.  

Continuing my journey into the carded figures niche:

Forgot to post my recent GA buy from last week's con in DFW.  

I'll echo @mysterio regarding the deals this weekend.  It seemed like most of the dealers were ready to make a sale starting early on Saturday--and without prompting.  That was a refreshing change.  Looking forward to the next show!

Spent around four hours at the show yesterday with my son and a couple of friends from out of town.  Felt that the variety in the room dealer wise was much improved as compared to previous shows--particularly the number of slabs and SA keys.  I was impressed.  Ended up a nice GA book, a SA slab that I've been searching for the last 12 months, and my son walked away with quite a few nice bronze Actions.  

All in all, a nice way to spend a Saturday.

My entry into the club

By the way, your fee for room and board this weekend just happens to be a 3.5 Hulk 1.  Don't forget to bring it down.

Stopped by a recent addition to the Fort Worth Market, Holocron--specializes in Star Wars merchandise only, including vintage figures.  Walked away with the following:

 That’s a pretty hard stance to take based on three kids from Texas and moldy cake but I’ve heard less educated statements out here so...  

As for what I’ve seen it’s the complete opposite.  I have two boys and Spidey is the absolute king (although hulk is gaining ground).  Go down the hallways at their school and every other bag on the Wall is Spidey.  I also have three nephews ranging from 9 to 13 who also consider Spidey the man.  

@Shaolingoat You’re from Texas...  What’re your thoughts on using anything from Texas as a metric???  Pretty sure I know the answer but will enjoy the response nonetheless.  

You know damn well I'm not from Texas.  But during my 10 years in exile here, I've learned that any place that uses white gravy as a garnish can't be used as a metric for anything.  

Always a great read, thanks again!

This came in today!  

Great looking book!

And finally, the last grab of 2017--I know technically it's not SA, but whatever I want to keep this thread going!

A little pre-Christmas upgrade:

Collecting goals for 2018:

1. Upgrade my Avengers #2 and #4.

2. Grab a few more Timelys.

3. Maybe go after a mid-grade Hulk #1 later in the year.

Doesn't get better than these reports.  Thanks again!

Let's keep it going:

I was surprised about the blues especially when I got it in hand!

Because nothing but AF15 posts are boring:

Yep, time really flies - it's already December. What has 2017 brought to you? Lets see the highlights of everyone's collecting efforts.

And what about your collecting goals for 2018?

Here are my own favourite four. As for collecting goals, I will be really happy if I add an Avengers 4, a DD1 and MAYBE a ST110 to the family.

Those are some killer highlights to a great collecting year!

I saw you had made the last comment and thought “great, @Comcav is going to buy the silver age”

We can't have that--there'd be nothing good left for the rest of us!
