Very sweet, congrats!!!!!

This has literally been a 30 year quest.

Completed my early Hulk run with #3 arriving today. I will be upgrading issue #2 as soon as I can.

My Hulk #3 came today. I took one quick picture before my camera went dead (batteries) and here it is. Not the best but I will post a better one later this week.

I am working on an upgrade for the Hulk #2.

Major kudos to 1koko for the last piece of my Hulk puzzle. He shipped out (and professionally I might add) a nice solid 6.5 copy of Hulk #3 with OW/W pages. I now have all of the original 6 books and will have picture to share later tonight.

I wonder if we could help meet banner's desire for more help with his hard to find books by instituting some WTB guidelines.

 

IS it entirely insane to make it a guideline that WTB posts should include title and condition notes, and price that you WILL buy the book for?

 

If we did that, would filling WTB requests on this forum become so convenient that dealers would take more advantage of respond to WTB posts (and so would other collectors) and thus obscure wants would be filled more easily?

 

Of course, it's up to you what you list as a price. $0.01, or $10,000. But if you do that, even if you low ball it a bit, you may find someone who knows you're close, and can offer the book you need to you "in that ball park"?

 

WTB posts haven't been very successful for me here, but that's b/c I'm looking for tough books. I don't know that we'd want to impose guidelines as to how WTB posts should be formulated as most collectors will consider various combinations of grade, eye appeal, price, and page quality in determining what they'd pay.

 

It is worth noting that there have actually been quite a few WTB posts recently, so the idea of a separate WTB forum may carry more weight now - I know that the last time we discussed dividing up the forums you decided not to break them out as there just wasn't enough volume to justify it, and you didn't want too many sub-categories in the marketplace.

I think this would help since most WTB posts get pushed to the bottom of the viewing list within a day, if not a few hours. Having one spot to look through would make selling easier if I can match a buyer to a book instead of throwing it on ebay.

Just picked up the Hulk #3 I was looking for from 1koko. When I get it I will post a picture of all issues (#1-6) together.

Sure. Nice copies BTW. I may have to add these to my 2007 list of books to buy.

The thought has crossed my mind. If I get brave enough I might do it.

Thanks Arex. The scans do not do this book justice. It looks a lot sharper than the 9.4 grade. I have gone over this book many times and cannot find enough wrong with it to keep it out of 9.6 range.

Turns out it is a Winnipeg copy. Here is the scan.

I need to check but I am pretty sure the 104 is a pedigree. I will post a better scan tomorrow.

Here are a few more...all 9.4.

Kudos goes out to Doug and whoever helped him at Pedigree comics for getting one of my personal keys (FF #48) to me in record time. I was afraid the books were going to sit in a Fed-Ex facility over the holiday but I received them today.

Great book (undergraded IMHO) and excellent service.

Where were you in '62?

 

 

9.0

It has always been a dream of mine to own the original 6 Hulk books in FN+ or better. Actually I would like to own them in NM but who can afford that anymore.

I have 4 of the 6 so far and a Hulk #2 in at CGC and a deal going with a board member for the #3...all I have to do is see the scans to finalize the deal.

Here is a picture of what I have so far: #1(CGC 6.5), #4(CGC 7.0), #5(CGC 7.0), #6(CGC 6.5)

Sorry for the poor photo but I did not have time for scans.

I will have the other 12 centers up soon. Post them if you have them.

... and the kudos continues.

 

Thanks to Mutant Keys for an Amazing Fantasy 15

 

Thanks to Whomerjay for a nice pile of Secret Wars and X-Men books

 

Thanks to Flying Donut for an ASM 121 toy variant

 

Thanks to Worldsbestcomics for yet more ASM toy variants

 

Thanks to Hobo for a stunning Batman 227 and a few freebies

 

... and with Hobo an extra special kudos for collecting ALL the above packages for me and then shipping them to me in one lot. He really took his time and effort doing this (for the second time i might add) and i can't appreciate it enough. It makes collecting for those of us in Europe so much easier and affordable. Thanks again Stu!

A genuine AF #15?

Kudos to comicdey for the CGC 9.6 ASM #300 and Hulk #202 (9.4). Well protected and it was needed...post office did a number on the box but the books were not damaged.

Kudos to Joeypost for quick payment on a CGC 9.6 ASM 300 and CGC 9.4 Hulk 202 and a few additional comics in the box as well.

 

Kudos back at ya for helping a brother out.

 

guess you really didn't like my cgc 9.6 after all. foxy heartbroken

My goal was to buy two. Goal accomplished. Now all I need to do is track down a FN+ copy of Hulk #3 and life would be good.

Your copy is safely tucked away in my private stash .

Two more to add to the ASM collection

 

First Shocker

 

 

Second Punisher

 

Very nice.

Kudos to Joeypost for quick payment on a CGC 9.6 ASM 300 and CGC 9.4 Hulk 202 and a few additional comics in the box as well.

Kudos back at ya for helping a brother out.

Kudos to Joeypost for fast delivery on a Hero for hire #1, ASM 361-363 and a couple bonus books.

Just received the confirmation e-mail my bid was accepted . Thanks Doug.

It took me 25 years to get a copy but I finally own one.

Kudos to Anfield Fox for a professionally packaged and quickly shipped ASM #300.

Mega kudos to Silver Surfer for a sweet Hulk 118 at a fair price.
