  1. VG maybe VG-... is that some smudging on the Conan logo? On second thought thanks for outbidding me on this as this is not really an upgrade for me.

     

    You're welcome. laugh.gif

    Yeah, that's a smudge on the logo. It also has OW pages.

     

    Regardless it was a nice pickup... welcome to the club and good luck on the 35 cent variants. Are you going to get the Kull #16 30 cent variant also? I don't see that on your list.

     

    Yes, just didn't get it listed yet.

    There are a whole bunch of things I need to add to that list yet. But I figured that would get me started.

  2. Finally received my first price variant

    Just so I know how everyone around here thinks, how would you guys grade this book?

    I'd say borderline VG. There is also a cover fold that can't be seen in the scan. Runs from the bottom to about half way up the cover. Right in the middle of it.

  3. Thanks Darth.

    I was just looking for information about Whitman variants when I stumbled across this forum. Now I have learned about all the other cool stuff to look for.

    Price variants, pence variants etc.

     

    Now I am going to go whole hog on my conan (and related) collection.

    Newstand, direct, price, even foriegn issues.

    It's like I'm starting all over again.

     

    It's thanks to you guys that I am actively seeking back issues again for the first time in probably 10 years.

  4. I also wonder what that 12 cent marvel was that he found 14,000 copy's of 893whatthe.gif.

     

    Bet it was something like Captain America 132.

    I know I got a copy from them for free. Way back when they were doing special coupons in their catalogs.

    I also remember that one always being listed for cheap in their catalogs and on sale on their website.

  5. I've got way too many collections going on.

    Comics - off and on since around 83.

    I also collect / build model kits (not cars or planes, the cool stuff like monsters, figures, and dinosaurs) http://tylisaari.com/models/aurora.htm

    Conan stuff - which also happens to fit nicely with the comics.

    Iron Maiden stuff, including over 500 live bootlegs so far.

    Still have an old coin collection from like 20 years ago that hasn't been touched since then. Figure I will just leave it for my kids when I die.

     

    Guess I'm just a pack-rat.
