  1. Great copy Jon! How many organs do you plan on selling to purchase ASM1?
  2. Thanks Jeff (Strong Guy) for ASM Annuals 2 & 6. They were strictly graded and packaged well!
  3. What's the scoop with the US Patent reference? Do all books from this era have it? Fantastic books!
  4. I'm glad that you're keeping CAP 1 free from the confines of a holder!
  5. I just received this from the boards (one and only) point five. Scan doesn't do the book justice. Apart from the heavy spine wear, it present much better than many VG+ books I own. Great gloss and decent page quality. Time to go for the biggies!!!!!
  6. Kudos go out to Point Five for his typical prompt delivery (I love getting packages from NYC) and strict grading. Thanks for the ASM 11!
  7. I have to go with MF53. The Spectre is my favourite superhero from the Golden Age.
  8. But none were high grade unrestored... Yearh that's right! it was some cheap-*spoon* drek! Even though $5K is a lot of coin, I'm personally thrilled to know that early restored TECs can be found without spending my entire retirement savings.
  9. I agree, but I'm having a problem entering my bid of 3000.00 I just changed the listing to a STARTING BID of $99!!! No more excuses...GO FOR IT! GE great....I just bought Ciorac's 4.5....now I have to buy yours too If you'd just waited, you could have bought an early Tec instead.
  10. Kudos to Fastball Special for 3 x 25 cent Thors (and the bonus book). They were packaged well and accurately graded.
  11. Depends what you mean by "background mechanical devices' but Kirby machines surrounded by the strategically placed "crackle" are among the sweetest things from the Silver Age And talking about sweet things... The hunt is coming to a close, here are some of my recent ASM purchases Completing the series is now just two issues away ...#14 & #20 two issues and...... Champagne !! Congrats I just finished my ASM run (from #1 to the current issue) and I will probably upgrade a few of the books that I would like in a higher grade. I'm only collecting from #1 to #500....I gave up around #490, but decided to go up to #500, because it's such a nice round number If all goes well, I should complete the series by the end of the month Where did you pick-up your single digit books (e.g. ebay, board, LCS)? Do you have an AF15 yet? I have 14 to go including 1-10 and AF15. Best of luck!
  12. It will go nicely with the 11, I still have to pay someone for...
  13. Thanks to Buck Biggins for shipping some books even though there was a slight miscalculation with the freight costs to Canada. (We worked it out - I think) Highly recommended!
  14. Thanks! I try to make sure buying experiences are not aleatoric. (I don't know what it means either.) I'm embarrassed to admit that I had to look that up in my nearby Oxford... very appropriate.
  15. Thanks to Chris (ckb) for a well priced Spectre 3 & 5! Packaged like a Shermann Tank.
  16. It's funny, I say that grade doesn't matter for the ASMs in the 1-10 range, but I couldn't buy the ones offered in the marketplace. They were just yucky...
