Then there’s Nick Cardy. Lots of great artwork. Here’s one of my fav Nick Cardy covers.

One of my favorites too!!!

In ‘79 or ‘80 bought several TOD for $1 each from a used book store including a #10 that was near perfect.  Stopped collecting in late ‘80’s and hardly touched my collection for 20 years.  Discovered eBay and was so excited to sell that raw 9.4 (or better) TOD #10 for $149!     Second place goes to the  several ASM 252’s and SW 8’s  I sold around the same time for $8 each.

I have all the raw comics collected. I've also got a registry set of graded ones from this collection, some with signatures of the actor/puppeteer/prop builder portrayed. Working on finishing those up. Trying to find 9.8 quality to submit for grading in some of the later run books is tough as many of them suffered from color rub. It's sure been fun to build. I've found quite a few pieces for my collection from other boardies, had others help facilitate celebrity signatures, so I'm more than thankful for the community here.

I checked out your registry.  It is beyond amazing!!!

What an accomplishment! Congratulations. Is this going to be graded or is your collection all raw books? This set has grabbed me from the beginning. Just got my Han Solo Stormtrooper Disguise in the mail from JTC's preorder awhile back. I hope he keeps it up, but I'm glad the pace is slowing down a little.

Thanks!  All but 3 are raw books.  I stopped collecting them midway thru for a while and started back at the end. I used the rare Midtown 75% off flash sale to fill the gap.  The exclusives I missed were a bit more costly from eBay.  I thought I would never get the Wonder World Comics exclusives as they are hard to come by and costly on eBay. Then by chance I checked Wonder World website and the have them on sale.  All 7 books for $59!!! Which books are you still searching for? 

 I completed my JTC Star Wars action figure variant set today of all days!

Now that’s a great mail day!!!  Congrats on those high grades! 

Two purchases from my earliest collecting years.  Amazed they look this good after all these years!

Another recent minor variant found in the wild

 

 

Nice!!  You are acquiring variants faster than jimjum can sell them!

Purchased raw from @drbanner

Awesome!!! 

Anyone know the story on this one.  Was this some sort of promo or part of a multi pack?  When were they printed?

Came in today

This was the last of the non exclusives to elude me.  
 

I have a soft spot for these:

Secret Wars for me.  Lost count of the number of times I’ve reread it. 

My entry!  Got a really nice deal on this last year.  Not perfect but has the tats! 
 

Just now noticing this thread and wanted to join the club.  Picked this up in a dollar box at the First State Comic Con in the Wilmington DE area several years back before this comic took off.

first time I've ever seen my birth date on a date stamp- though not on 1957 (65) - Dec 24th is a tough stamp to find!

Never seen a date stamp for my BD (9/4) for any year! 😭
