  1. It's almost like he's saying "I paid $70 for this jacket!!". OW upgrade.
  2. You can also try to sell it here on the boards where you will have no fees if the buyer pays by check or PP G & S fees, which will be cheaper than HA, CL and eBay. Just keep in mind that since he joined this month, it will be a while before he can sell here.
  3. Just an FYI. This book is listed in the CL November auction. Last year, in the ASM 252 reholder scandal, a 6.5 yellow label was on the "check" list. My opinion came to be that Tommy Chabrowski, owner of Comic Book Station, still likely owned it. I won't go in to my opinions on the fact that that book now has a grade date of July 2024, and new certification number. It should be noted that CGC has put in the grader's notes that CGC witnessed the signature on the back cover in 2018. It should also be noted, and the main reason I mention it, that a very small piece has now fallen off the top, above the "Z" in Amazing. The book still has the same 6.5 grade. It may in fact still be a 6.5. Here is the original notes page: https://www.cgccomics.com/certlookup/1589872002/ Here is the new notes page: https://www.cgccomics.com/certlookup/4463438001/
  4. Both times I built 100-150 slab runs, this was the last issue that I pulled the trigger on. Not a fan.
  5. Six points for me. Two bull’s-eyes, and one point each on the first two books. I gave the FF 33, a 5.0 also. 3.0 is a really shocking grade for me on that one, but I get it.
  6. It's called a Mead (the company that produced it) folder. We geezers used them to carry papers in for school in the 70s.
  7. #135 Epilogue: "Actually, we're gonna have to wait until next issue, for the blockbuster story of the year, a story which can only be titled.... "The Green Goblin Lives Again!"... We'll be waitin' on ya, Tiger!" I still remember waiting for this comic book, and flipping through it at the drugstore, and seeing that full page drawing of the new Goblin.
  8. current and my previous slab. all of my OO books are long gone. In the early 80s, I upgraded many, and finally sold off the whole run 21 years ago. Second time building a slab set, avoiding OW pages has been a part. I'm in until about 151, 156 and 157.
  9. Good thing Spider Man never came in contact with his right foot! It's hot enough to melt the train!
  10. Jordy played a big part in getting the gang back together.
  11. How did I forget about Gi Joe?? MTU 13 is a great cover, but 14 is among my all time favorite Marvel covers. It's perfect.
  12. Those June, July and September months were my very first big monthly purchases at 9 years old. June included FF 135, DD 100, MTU 10, Cap 163, Thor 211, Defenders 6, Astonishing Tales 18 and iron Man 59. By October, I was probably burning through $2.00 per month. Not surprisingly, by the time I got there, the copies of ASM 121 were all gone, and I was oblivious to the significance. It was ASM 122 that I got my hands on the next month. The next two years were all about baseball cards, movies and Marvel Comics. The first time I saw MTU 1, was in the treasury holiday book. One of these days, I'd like to leaf thru that treasury book again.
  13. You would have understood my point if I had made it correctly. I was trying to say greater than 5.5.
  14. Current copy, and previous slabbed copies. Definitely a favorite of mine. "Still ONLY 20 Cents!!"
  15. current copy, an upgade over my previous slabbed copy. i remember spotting this issue at a drugstore that we almost never went to. It may have been the last time I didn't buy my comics at the same two stores, until about #145.
  16. That they went with the simplified version of the webbing in the logo annoys me. Not anywhere near as much as adding the UPC box at issue 157, but it just does. All of these covers would have looked SO much better with the other version.
  17. There isn't one issue of Spider Man that Ive sold, that I don't regret. Current and previous 2 owned slabs.
  18. I think 121 and 128 are the two most artistically perfect drawings of Spider Man that Romita ever put on a cover.
