If you're gonna tantalize us with tales like those, you'll have to give us some

background on where and how you found them;-)

 

Awesome set.

 

 

Hey Rosland, I don't have an exciting story about how I got them. I actually picked them up from Comic Link's site recently. You can also see in the group shot the slabbed books. #75 with Taboo came from that same shipment and is an 8.0, highest graded copy and I also had #147 CGC 9.4 and #116 9.0 Big Apple Copy in the same shipment. Still waiting on 11 more coming from Pedigree and Metropolis.

Were some of these raw books without scan on CLINK ? I'm curious to know if you were pleased with the grade

A closer view

ST #61

Paul, that's one crazy cover !

I was following that book on eBay : Great pick up !

Here's another addition to my Strange Tales run

...I did embark on the upgrading game

Big kudos to Korvac Saga for another Strange Tales book !

Check out

 

Doctor Watson Strange Tales #101-#188 score=8900

 

Very nice run...

What is a bit sad is that some of the books in that big Mass. Pedigree run were upgraded, so some of the Mass. issues are missing... Unless I'm wrong here

Totally agree on ST 116!

My favorites, in order : 103, 108, 114 & 116.

Pre-Hero : 85 is definitely the best in the run ... and to think that an 8.0 (or was it 8.5?) CGCed copy was sold on eBay in the beginning of the year for about $160

Just got this one in the mail today.

The colors are very bright. Nice pick up !

Reading back this thread : Doug mentioned that the 9.6 was the WM copy.

Maybe he knows about the 9.2 copy

I've been wondering about the ST pedigrees. The PC, WP, and Mass look really

fantastic. Then it looks like the Boston copies show up around the late 130's?

 

What is the highest quality pedigree for the Nick Fury ST's? Pacific Coast? WP?

Are there a lot of Fury WP's? If so, who has them?

 

Also, are there Curators? I've only seen the 125 copy in 9.6.

 

Thanks for any info

Interesting questions...

To add up to this, anybody knows what pedigree copies exist for ST 103 ?

When you think that the PC and Mass copies are only 8.0, it's a testimonial to the scarcity of that book in high grade ...

BTW, your 9.0 copy is gorgeous Rosland !

To all Strange Tales collectors, take a look in the eBay, Dealers etc. section, I just listed two nice Strange Tales!

That Annual #2 is awsome!

Totally agree. To see an annual reach 9.8 is very impressive (the front cover on that ST A2 is so flat!)

That's all folks for today!

Thanks again Doug for sharing these with us !

For your viewing pleasure, eleven more!

Hi Rosland!

Welcome to the Board!

Today's final five

Look tomorrow for others scans of Doug's ST.

Here they are, Doug Schmell's Strange Tales ! 10 will be posted today, others tomorrow.

Enjoy the pics

Doug will send me the scans today...I'll post them tonight at the latest

Great books! Strange Tales is such a quality title. Here is my #101, from the Golden State collection.

 

Very nice book ! The cover is perfectly centered Keep them coming!

Ever thought of having that one slabbed ?

Doug,

Send me the scans and it will be my pleasure to post those on the Board

My first purchase from Pedigree:

 

What a purchase this is!

This one is my second favorite ST cover (just behind ST 103), anybody with a CGC 8.5 copy for sale ? .... and silence was my answer

Thanks Frederic!!! Some more of my beloved ST's:

One of the hardest silver age books in high grade. Only 1 each of 9.0,9.2,9.4,9.6:

 

Luckily for us there's plenty of 8.5 (5 copies!) that being said, I never saw one...

Posted before, but one of my favorites

 

Love that cover Rick ! One day, I hope to get my hand on a nice 8.5 copy of that one

IMO, that's the best pre-hero TTA kirby cover ! Nice book

Very nice copy of one of my favorite Avengers cover
