That book needs to be regraded, great cover gloss.

Unfortunately, it has a small piece missing from the bottom of the back cover. Otherwise, it would've easily been a 9.0.

Picked up this jumbo from Ebay.

not bad for $20

$10 for each............oh, never mind!

Nice pick-up, and welcome to the GGA club.

I'm enjoying collecting again because of these. I think Bronze and Silver were getting me down but those GA GGA books.

I might add some Zoot to the want list as well.

Great pick-ups. You have very good taste in books.

Nice.......... all high grade copies.

Nice book SS.

That Seven Seas 5 is not slabbed. You should immediately send it to Sacramento so it can join its fellow raw Seven Seas in my collection.

 

I know its a sacrifice on your part, but you should consider what's best for the book. You don't want your slabbed books making fun of its raw state an harming its self-esteem.

There's a copy of the illusive #4 on Ebay right now. I would've gone after it, but I really want a higher grade copy for that specific book.

Per Timulty's request: A small but hopefully entertaining stack

I hope that it's o.k. to mention that some of these will be in

the marketplace later this evening to help finance my trip to

Ireland...

Beautiful books Dan. Hope you get some good prices on those books, and enjoy your trip to Ireland.

There is a raw #5 in an ebay store right now - why don't you get that one?

That looks better than a VG, even taking the small scan into account. Can you post a scan when you get it, Skybolt?

Sure thing. The book in question is the same one I took a group pic of, but here's a larger sca:

I do agree that structurally the book looks like a 6.0/6.5, but it does have a stain on the inside cover, and a 1/4" hole in one of the inside story panels. That being said, I was happy with the book.

I think that's the copy I purchased from lee's comics about a month ago.

Hey Skybolt. I never get tired of looking at your collection. Keep it up.

Thanks.

By the way, those Tracy pics you posted are terrific. This has been a great thread to discover other people's collections.

so, Skybolt- just curious here- how many slabs do you own? seems your collection is without end.

About 440 slabs total..........half of which are GA books. That being said, about 70 to 80 of the total are MA or BA books that are worth less than $30 each.

Some more GGA pics from various publishers:

Unfortunately, I'm only one major event (marriage, buying a house, etc.) from having to sell a bulk of my collection. When that day comes, some major sacrifices will have to be made.

I've heard real estate is a good investment.....and what's that I hear? Wedding bells....pm me with your for sale list....

It's ok to take a loss if it's for a good cause.

Unfortunately no. I was actually engaged a few years back and had saved up some money for a house, but when it fell through, I used that money to start my comic book collection. Years later, my buying habbits have spiraled out of control, and I've spent way more than I originally anticipated.

Very Pretty,

 

Next Time I see you bidding on something, I'm going to just keep on bidding as you've got enough for any one GGA collector already.

 

I can see that you typed something but your words make no sense.

 

OCD......I've got it too, just have to pay for the family fun first.......my pace in collecting is much slower than Skybolts....

Absolutely.

No gaps!

 

Really, really nice set sky!

Thanks

I must admit that I don't remember having so many sub 6.0 copies in my GGA collection. Most of my old label books are in the 7.0 and above range, but I started getting more desperate when decent copies weren't showing up anymore.

That is a beauty.

Need to see a dentist about that "gap".

I had to somehow get rid of the light source that ruined the previous picture.
