  1. You would prefer a raw 3.0 with water damage to the C*** book? In either case, both prices are overinflated.
  2. Actually, my thought doesn't work, because Chip and Dale are chipmunks, not woodchucks. Oh well, it's the thought that counts.
  3. I will have The Atom #2 - #10 (missing #7) and Hawkman #2 - #10 (missing #4) available soon. I won't have any pictures until next week, as we left for Christmas last night. FYI, @rdp collectibles, these are the type of books you are normally interested in.
  4. A little late to the party, eh? Next time, I suggest that you read further in the thread before you post.
  5. Jimbo is one of the most friendly and knowledgeable people on these boards. Best wishes!
  6. Just out of curiosity, whose arm is drawn to the right of Steve Rogers' right knee? Please understand that I am in no way belittling your acquisitions.
  7. As you know, I brought up the topic of what I could possibly get for my set of Atlas Black Knight series #1 - #5. I know this doesn't belong in this forum, but I like to live life dangerously. I just completed a big trade on IG. I traded Atlas Black Knight #1 - #5 plus a small amount of cash to receive Detective Comics #140 CGC 3.0.

  9. Here are my big purchases for 2023. Everyone, I had to make one small change. I can't believe that I forgot about Batman #9! Detective Comics #140 Avengers #1 Batman #9

  11. I know how loath some people are towards restored books. However, if buying a restored book is the only way for you to afford the grail of your dreams, I believe many of us would jump at the chance. I also think that the age of the book has a lot to do with people's willingness to accept restoration. GA = some chance, SA = smaller chance, BA or later = very little chance. I have had three books from my own collection in which I had restoration removed: Amazing Spider-Man #12 (I didn't realize that it had any restoration when I sent in), Showcase #13 (same reason as before), and Tales to Astonish #35 (I bought it restored). All these books will stay in my collection unless I decide to upgrade them or until I pass on to the great big comic bookstore in the sky.
  12. Cool. I didn't even notice that. I wonder what the odds would be if you submitted two books and got exactly the same grade and exactly the same page quality. Unless you're an expert grader, I would think the odds would be astronomical.
  13. Great books! And matching grades and page qualities, to boot.
  14. How about Zook, the Martian Manhunter's sidekick?
  15. Superman #53 CGC 2.0 from Instagram. I definitely overpaid for this book, especially since the same book in CGC 5.0 sold for $960 through Heritage Auctions on 11/19/2023. I had missed out on this book when it was last auctioned on ComicLink, and my "I really want to get this book" attitude led me astray. I must say, it definitely looks better than a CGC 2.0, as most of the not-so-nice stuff is on the back.
  16. I subbed quite a bit in October/November, and I went on a little bit of a buying spree. Hawkman #2 CGC 7.0, Hawkman #6 CGC 8.0, and Atom #5 CGC 7.5 (Rocky Mountain pedigree), all from ComicLink. Atom #6, Atom #9, and Hawkman #9 (Boston pedigree), all from MyComicShop. Justice League of America #4 CGC 5.5 from Instagram. Hawkman #5 CGC 7.5 and Hawkman #7 CGC 7.5 from Ebay. Last, but certainly not least, Mystery in Space #53 CGC 6.0 from fellow board member, @nochips.
  17. I agree with the sentiments posted about @Jesse-Lee for his stick-to-it-ive-ness and about @Paul (GG) © ® ™⚽️💙 for coming up with a great contest. I subbed today, and I planned on doing some searching during the day, but, alas, ....
