Cool I have that one also.  

This has been the best thread in the Bronze Age section for some time, thanks.  

If it is a real double cover CGC will grade it blue label and they will state that the outer cover is not attached on the label. Like Get Marwood & I said check out the Double Cover thread in general and you will find some examples like this one.  Also if it real I might be interested in it, if you are looking to sell.   

Nice Book, does it still have the Tattooz intact?  

ASM #167  7.5/8.0  VERY LIGHT CREASE BK CVR  $20 the one with the bad misswrap.

and Marvel Tales #106 4.5/5.0  $15

these two @ 25% off.

Hey @cosmic-spider-man Steve found this little nugget two years ago.  The signature is hard to read though.  So, according to this, Ross did make a convention in 1992, but neither Steve nor I could find any info on it.

Damn, how cool would it have been to be there, on that day.  People had no idea what a talent this guy was back then.  This was about 1.5 years before this death.  

Thanks Guys for looking, I guess there is still a very small chance the signatures are real if he did a few conventions.

I went to several conventions in Atlanta Ga. back in the late 80's & early 90's (Dragoncon and Atlanta Fantasy Fair) and I never seen him, but that sure would have been cool to have gotten his signature myself.

Who cares about the inserts...are those signed by Ross Andru??? 

 

(His signature is harder to find than Ditko's!) 

 

If they are, I would be interested in at least one if you decide to sell them. 

Just don't know if they are really his signature or not, and I don't think there is any way to ever know for sure.

Did he give you any idea how he obtained them?  I'm guessing Ross would have been a hard signature to get.  I've never seen him in a convention photo or any Marvel event for that matter.  If they are real great get, if not, you did alright.

Yea it was so long ago I really don't remember what he said just remember asking about them before the purchase and don't really remember how much I paid either but I can't image it would have been very much back then.  

Thanks for the comparison pictures Reggie that was very cool and appreciated.  

I hoped the autos were real but there really is no way to ever know for sure.

That's a comfort. If they were attempted fakes, you'd expect the seller to have a hefty mark up, otherwise, why bother ruining a MJI copy?

No one even cared about Mark Jewelers copies back then and I didn't even know about that until I got them.

Yea they may not be real but I took a chance when I bought them. Got them on the bay probably about 20 years ago and I messaged the seller and he assured me they were legit and price was not that much so I bought them.

Hey Terry, @cosmic-spider-man, did you buy this issue off the stands back in the day?  I missed this one, but bought 148 and 150.  Not sure why my collecting was so hit and miss until about issue 166, wherein I never missed another issue until 2009.  

Hey Reggie no I did not get a 147 until several years later, my first ASM buy was 151 new off the spinner rack at a local Drug Store. Then I missed 152 but bought 153 up and got my first subscription with 166 which came in the brown paper sleeves that was so cool, I did eventually get a 152 a few years later. 

I found some cool comics I bought some years back that I might post on here if anyone is interested. It is four Marvel Tales Issues with Ross Andru autographs not sure the auto's are real or not and they are a little hard to see as they are done in marker on dark colored areas but maybe I can get some opinions on that here.  I don't remember the issue numbers but one is the reprint of ASM #151 (reason I bought them) and all four also have Mark Jewelers Inserts.

Just giving you nice people a friendly neighborhood heads up that I just recently went through a (mostly amicable) divorce after nearly 20 years of marriage(why you haven't seem me in a while).

Very sorry to hear that, hope it was not because of the Funny Books.  

Hey Reggie really nice find on that Airport very Cool and a big thumbs up.
