You are a machine Greggy!

Thank you. It’s a good solution for those massive books, you just can’t really stack them or they’re hard to access. If they could each have their own shelf it would be perfect.

Thanks!

I started a little you tube channel and did a video tour of my hardcover collection if you’re interested.

Did they put any of Gruenwald’s cremated ashes in this one haha?

Terrible news. Rest In Peace Bob.

Not sure - but the date was 1978. Possibly the price as you mention. Maybe one of our UK friends knows?

Thanks Patrick! Tim

Some Ghost Rider Mark Jewelers books. Fun to see the different colors of the inserts. My favorite is the crazy lavender - it has an almost metallic sheen. I made a video as well and posted @berkeleycomicshow in case you're interested.

Only books with the inserts are noted by CGC

That is cool! The collection landing there surely had something to do with Steve haha.

Great booking book Jason! Love bronze WPs!

Yes it does drive me insane I’ve even thought of making my own Canadian ‘replica’ of #1 with the 75 cent price haha. True.

In my experience, aside from the keys mentioned, it's all about the grade on Canadian priced books. I buy high grade Canadian copies for runs that I've already finished, just to give me another reason/excuse to collect more copies of that title. Most are few and far between in high grade IMO. If people are just trying to complete a run, they might chose American over Canadian, just for uniformity sake. So it's really just a tiny sliver of the total Market (like me) who care about (and bid on) odd books like variants, double covers, Mark Jewelers, etc. I just paid about double GPA for a Canadian CGC 9.4 White copy of Wolverine LS #3 because I've been looking for one for years to complete my Wolverine LS (all American direct <1-4> all American newsstand <1-4> and all Canadian newsstand <2-4> versions) set. As far as these books being called variants - that battle was fought (remember Joe Collector?), and has ended, with CGC now noting 'Canadian Price Variant' on the label (previously noted on labels as 'Canadian Edition').

The first printing of the paperback was 1978. The comic corner box goes at least back to the 1976 issue shown, which lends credence to the theory that Romita redrew the face used for the paperback. I agree with that theory. FYI - There were at least two versions of the box set (shown here).

Just two right now David. I bought the display shipper empty and had two on hand. The plan is to slowly buy more high grade copies and fill it up

Thank you!

Wow - fantastic finds!
