Yep, it was in DD #123. There's a neat cut-away showing it.

BIG THANKS to Flying Donut for the sweeet dollar books from the latest VCC. You spoil us, you know, listing beauties like this in your dollar sales. Most of these Caps, Thors, and Hulks were in much nicer condition than expected --- making for a nice surprise. Thanks!

Got the plastic bins at Ikea, and they work out really nicely. Don't have one here at work to measure for you --- but I will say that moderns and bronze-age fit nicely. A "Silver" sized mylar, though, is a little too wide. Here's a link: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/86696810. I use these for a lot of current titles, minis, etc. that get moved around and re-organized more often. They're really sturdy, and it's easier to access the books without the lids.

Thought it was time I shared my little comic-cave with you all. I recently built a 500 sq. ft. addition onto our house. This allowed me to reclaim this home office all for myself and clean it up some. Currently storing all 5000+ of my books here, and probably have room to double that as I keep buying 'em! (thumbs u

Big THANKS to Collin --- the DD #1 arrived today, and I couldn't be happier. It's one of my favorites now, and I'll be keeping this copy for a very long time. Linky to a scan, for anyone interested in seeing it: http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b81/ddreger/dd-1.jpg

Got to make some room, so I'm listing some nice sets of DC moderns on eBay this week. Sets include Infinite Crisis, OMAC Project, 52, etc. $1 starting bids, and no @#&*% reserves. http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQfgtpZ1QQfrppZ25QQsassZsilverage12c The auctions offer free regular mailing with Buy-it-Now --- but, if any of you CGC boardies win any of these (with BIN or with a winning regular bid) I will upgrade this to FREE Priority Mail anywhere in the US. If you Canuckleheads win something, I'll subtract $8 from the actual shipping cost --- that's about equal to the cost of domestic Priority Mail.

1st Wrecker --- NICE! But, why didn't they note this 1st appearance on the label???

Big thanks to Pirate for the sweet lot of 12 Bronze Avengers from the VCC --- I feel guilty paying just $2 each for these, 'cause they were very nice copies when I got them in my hot little hands!

I have about 4,250 right now, mostly raw Marvels from Silver Age thru modern. Went thru a buying spurt (ebay addiction) where the priority mail boxes were arriving daily and the collection grew rapidly. Now, I've slown down and am a *little* more focused.

Newbie question here --- is it just this issue (#79) that is scarce? Or, are other X-men "reprint" issues btwn #67 and #93 also rare? In either case, is this because of a small print run?

These 2 just came in the mail --- very common in this grade, obviously, but nice to have the matched set added to my stash:

Just got this nice copy of X-men #80 in the mail from an ebay seller. It's in better condition than described . Paid $14 including shipping.

Oh yeah. And, a quick hello to you all. Been "lurking" here about a week, enjoying the threads. Thought I'd start posting, and maybe stay a while. Hi to everyone who may recognize me from the CPG boards. Oh, and here are a couple other books added to my collection this week:

Added this a couple days ago. 1st Inhumans. Great cover, IMHO:
