Nice additional examples, Seadevils!

I'm looking at the other end, late Silver/Early Bronze, for more examples.

Saw this in person for the first time today....can't tell.

Partial? (see earth and stars)

Here, I actually Googled that image, and I think it may be the HC compilation cover. Here's a picture of the actual comic:

No, although several of the Kirby 4th worlds were. This one's greytone effect.

 

How can you tell? It sure looks like a photo to me.

Guess you have to look at it in person. I've got one sitting right here, and it's definitely greytone. Besides...look at how far out that would have to be to be a photo. When this book was published (late 1970), the only things that had been out that far were the moon landings, and, while certainly not impossible, not very likely that Kirby would have access to a photo from this angle.

The most compelling evidence, of course, is that it's DRAWN.

But no, grab a copy...it's one of those that probably has to be seen in person.

No, although several of the Kirby 4th worlds were. This one's greytone effect.

Found another "undiscovered" partial greytone...check out the earth:

WOW!

 

No kidding, right? Talk about going above and beyond. I paid a higher price than I expected for the two ASMs, but I'm 200% satisfied with how this turned out!

 

err...

 

Most people around here aren't fond of his listing style.

Awk-warrrd....

Even better, a Russ Heath Flamethrower Greytone....er.....

....

I got nuthin.

No, shame on you for being judgmental in the first place...

You think that was being judgemental...? I guess, in this PC world, speaking truth is considered "judgemental", even when it's not aimed at anyone in particular. Gosh, don't dare say out loud that something some generic person somewhere might be doing isn't the best thing for them.

At least it puts paid to your nonsense about being in a glass house. Doesn't really work when someone's already admitted their shared flaws, does it...?

Now, is there a reason you felt you needed to do this OT posturing here, in public?

Couldn't send me a PM, could ya...?

No, of course not. That's not how it works.

The funny thing is, the only people I met from this board were Cujobyte, Comicgrinder, and I *think* Spiderman-on-tilt.

I certainly didn't meet you. Wouldn't that be ironic if I'm not even the person you think I am...

 

Interesting. I remember what you look like now. Kind of fun to be throwing stones from a glass house, isn't it?

Are you kidding...?

"I ain't skinny. I sure as hell am not in shape. I choose to eat bad foods because they taste oh, so good." "If I could get my fatarse to the gym daily, and stop eating pizza, I'd be that much better. "

Did you just gloss over that...? Skip those parts....?

You know, the part where I essentially say "I know where they're coming from, because I'm in the exact same boat, and I know what it's like"....?

Shame on you.

I just noticed something....your X-Men #54 got a 9.4, and your X-Men #56 got a 9.6.....QUICK! Submit #58, 59, and 60!

You all have wonderful books. Thanks for sharing them. Yay!

Woohoo!

What do you think? Partial?

(Another "can't believe I missed that one")

Got this back yesterday.

 

 

You didn't buy this at Phoenix Con last month, didja...?

 

(regardless, it's beautiful! Congrats!)

 

Why do you ask??

Just wondering if it was from that stack of stuff we were both looking at at "Ed's" booth.

Got this back yesterday.

Just recieved the images from a recent submission. Lately, I have been sending in my PGX books to CGC and so far it has been the same grades.

 

Grendel #1 CGC 9.8 - Bought from Grails as a PGX 9.8

 

 

Grendel #3 CGC 9.8 - Previously PGX 9.8

 

Awesome!

AWESOME!!!

Have we lost interest in this thread...?

must get it slabbed.

Here's a more extensive reason.

I've been advised for years to get my copy slabbed.

I don't want to. Why?

Because when it's slabbed, I will have the OVERWHELMING urge to sell it.

And I don't want to sell it.

I found...for the first time in almost 20 years of collecting....an Albedo #2 in 2007 for 75 cents.

Yes, 75 cents.

(I was due.)

I had it slabbed at WWLA last year, and it came back 9.0.

I sold it almost immediately.

It was the only copy I have ever owned.

And now, I have to replace that copy for my collection.

So, I don't wanna slab this copy, because I will face the overwhelming temptation to sell it, because it will be so EASY.

At least with it unslabbed, it's much, much harder to part with (I'd never, ever, ever sell it if it wasn't slabbed.)

Do you have an example, DR?

...?

I'm almost embarrassed to say I missed this one....about as classic greytone as it gets.

I honestly cannot tell from this fuzzy picture.

(hey, guess who doesn't have a date on Valentine's Day night? That's ok, I got my lovin' earlier today. )

Greytone? Todd Klein states it's in the same "soft style" as Wrightson on HOS #92, so maybe...I'd have to check my copy in person...
