  1. Robot Man... I am LOVIN ALL of that, makes me feel all Warm and Fuzzy inside. Wanna be a kid again and go back to the 60's.
  2. A Completest to a point, I lost interest in certain titles as they got newer so I collect those titles to a certain issue and stop but I want all issues to that point. Examples... I only go to... #125 in Avengers #132 in D.D #200 in Incredible Hulk #200 in Thor #134 in Strange Tales(not a big fan of Nick Fury or Shield) #150 in Uncanny X-Men The Atlas Westerns that I am working on I am only interested in 10 cent covers.
  3. Do what my Son did because he just did not have room, store your books at your Dad's house.
  4. I am not a big Sub-Mariner fan but I do own a low grade copy of #4.
  5. Nice Find. One of my All Time Favorite Books and Covers.
  6. 60 on August 10. Been re-collecting since 79.
  7. Amazing Fantasy 15 Amazing Spider-Man 1 Avengers 1 Fantastic Four 1 X-Men 1
  8. If all of your books are stored in Mylites with Acid Free Boards it does not matter what type of box they are stored in since the box will never actually touch the book and it will not affect the preservation quality of the Mylite. The box is basically to keep the books stored properly standing front to back in the box and to keep out light (Ultra Violet, Florescent and Incandescent)
  9. Why stop at 102? The Inhumans really wind down at 150, the marriage of Crystal and Quicksilver, but the last, best arc finishes at 178, Galactus fighting the High Evolutionary to protect Counter-Earth, then kicking the Frightful Four out of their building when they get back. Why stop at 178??? Why not go to 416??? After that it was all fake with "Hero's Reborn" and the Title starting over, that's were my Son and I got off the bus. (Unfortunately No #1)
  10. STANDING OVATION... Great Accomplishment!!! I have completed issues 43 - 134 but still need 27 of the 42 from 1 - 42. With the price of these books continuing to climb I do not know that I will reach the plateau you reached even with me only looking for lower grade reading copies and that is why in my eyes it makes it such a Great Accomplishment.
  11. Nothing wrong with that copy at all. I have lots of "Reading Copies" because it makes/made collecting affordable for me especially with the older books I am now collecting and I would rather complete my runs than have high grade books with lots of holes in the series that I could never afford to fill.
  12. Because I stopped collecting Iron Man with the end of TOS I never saw that Iron Man 54 before... Lovin It!!!
  13. It is. I’m 100% sure, even if the picture is small to see well. Hey, that is the twin brother of mine… OK, Here is a larger pic.
  14. Received this F.F.#8 as a gift back in the early 80's, do not know if the Kirby Autograph is legit.
  15. Grew up watching Beany and Cecil. When my Sister was born in 62 I received a Beany Copter which I was told was a present from my New Little Sister. Spent $100.00 to acquire another a few years back. My Four Color Books are all Beany and Cecil. #'s 368, 414, 448, 570, 635 2009 2010 2011
  16. Not high grade but I do have one and the story is the same as a 10.0 ASM 3 so I am good.
  17. According to Grading from Overstreet and Heritage Auctions books up to a VG 3.5 "Can have a book-length crease and/or dimples." That plus an accumulation of all other defects will give you the final grade. VG 4.0 states books "Can have moderate creases or dimples". Me personally... I have no issue with Subscription Creases or Arrival Dates on Covers. To me it is part of the history of the book and the times and it was common place when I was growing up and started collecting in the mid 60's.
  18. Absolutely Amazing, Astonishing, Strange and Suspenseful Run of Books and Great Display!!!
