ST RULES!!!! Let's start at the beginning:

The first Wizard:

First Paste Pot Pete!!!:

2nd Wizard

:

Let's hope we will be able to see Doug's copy of ST 103, 108 & 120 !

And some other from your collection Richard

Here are some other Human Torch ST :

ST 117 CGC 8.5 OW

ST 118 CGC 8.5 OWW

ST 119 CGC 8.5 COW

ST 121 CGC 8.5 COW - One of the nicest cover of the run !

Hey Frederic, great idea for a thread!

 

Are some of these books my former CGC beauties that you deslabbed, or did you pick up some nice raw copies?

 

Either way, a really cool bunch of books.

ST 103, 106, 116 & 120 were bought raw and then slabbed (except for 106, I did not re-scan them once slabbed) In fact, ST 106 was my first purchase on eBay and I got it at a great price

As for your former beauties, I still have ST 117 & 118.

Your former ST 120 is in the caring hands of another forumite, the one that you originally sold it to...

and my oldest ST to date

I really like that one...the last good cover before the end of the Human Torch run.

(except maybe ST 134 for which I have a bizarre attraction - I can't decide if it's ugly or beautiful - a true work of art !)

In an attempt to lure those mysterious Strange Tales collectors, I decided to start this thread! If some of them post scans of some of their high grade ST, this should be a blast!

I'll start with some of my favorites from my modest collection...

ST 103 CGC 8.0 White Mass. Copy

ST 104 CGC 8.5 OW

ST 106 CGC 8.5 OWW

ST 109 CGC 9.0 OWW

ST 116 CGC 8.0 OWW

ST 120 CGC 8.5 OWW

It's your turn now!

i need a scanner

 

Nice FF 28

I want that book!

Here are mine !

Great book and storyline...

Here's my latest addition to my X-Men mini-run

(I won this one last night on eBay, )

Kudos to Korvac Saga for two nice books!

Great service

Here are the latest addition to my Strange Tales run...I know, I know, those are not nice 8.5ers like my other ST, but I could not pass on them...

That book is gorgeous ! Nice cover by Toth

Kudos to Chromium and Mcmiles for fast payment and great communication

Kudos to you Beyonder for a flawless transaction!

Any word on your Strange Tales submissions yet?GOD BLESS...

Yeah, I got those a while back, take a look on page 312 of this thread !

The whole in the cover on that Pacific Coast 47 on Colmore is a bit much for me. Since I know its there, I'd just stare at it every time I gt the book out.

If that hole is where I think it is (I tought it was discoloration!), I'm surprised Kraven is still standing up

Great looking Green Lantern.

 

Will be putting up some of my latest purchases over the next few days.

 

Here is an Avengers #7 CGC 9.4 off-white pages:

 

 

 

Great book!

From the recent Vault auctions...... with thanks to Frederic9494 for the heads up!

 

 

Date stamp compares almost exactly with the one on this book, a verified Green River.....

 

Congrats Red!

Out of curiosity, was the match as good with the other red stamped JIM in that auction (#95) ?

Not sure I'm going to be in the running for the #32 D copy next month as I have a feeling that it could push over 5 bills. Thre are a couple other books in that run that I like but the Cap's in the 70's really have my attention. These will not go cheap so I might just be a bystander.

I'm curious to see if the market will be able to absorb such a big number of GA books at the same time at record breaking or high prices (especially if one thinks that some collectors might hold back a bit considering there's a lot of books from that pedigree that will be released for the first time on the market this year)

Of course, that's a non-issue if the reserves are pretty low...

Another killer ST Frederick, nice. Here's one of my favorite Atlas covers:

Same to you! Very nice copy (VF?)

I hope your keeping some ammo for the upcoming Heritage auctions, there are some sweeet Subby in that 'D" pedigree... Good luck to you if you're going after some of them!

...eventually, I will downgrade

 

Who you gonna call!!!

 

Find me a CGC 8.5 OW or better of this one, or ST#105 or ST#108 and we'll talk

Here's my latest purchase for my ST run ...

 

 

WOW!!!! What did you find that beauty?!!!

 

Now you're gonna have to upgrade your entire 8.5 Strange Tales collection to 9.0 .GOD BLESS...

 

-jimbo(a friend of jesus)

In fact, I picked this beauty because I was not able to get the 8.5 copy that I had my eye on (at a decent price)...eventually, I will downgrade (not degrade ) this one to an 8.5 copy, ideally via a trade. So, no, I won't start to upgrade the rest of my ST run (it's hard to find them and expensive enough already!)

'till then, I'll enjoy having this one!

Here's my latest purchase for my ST run ...
