The-Collector

For a while I have thought that fantastic fears 5 and voodoo 8 would make great bookends. Great collection of books.

Those are all absolutely fantastic.

And a great one to have Marty. I like the dynamic action on that cover.

Congrats Christian, great score! Great book! With condition I find A mylar forgives many sins. And a lower condition book especially one that is hard to find is is still very satisfying.

Anyone win the BB 114 on EBay tonight? Book looked very nice but I am very skeptical that it will pull a 9.0+ with the spine it had. I was under under bidder

Very nice! Looks HG. Do we have any File Copies in this thread?

Love 'em! I owned the Salida Foxhole 4 years ago & sold it for a song What is she doing on the real clue cover? Poisoning someone's cup of tea?

+1 Where is the PCH?

It's getting out of hand. I think entry into the club at a .5 complete is around 5,000$... That is correct. My 0.5 complete listed as restored due to cover trimming was purchased of eBay for a best offer made on a $5000 listing. If you read up though, I was not the purchaser so I do not know the accepted offer. There is zero sign of this book slowing down. The only thing that could change it would be an unexpected find of new issues. I always wonder on a book like this where there are about 2700 slabbed, how many raws are still left. I would hazard at least that many un-slabbed copies left in the wild. There have been extensive threads devoted to estimating populations. From memory Rick said he knows a guy with a long box full of AF15s.

Great pick up, I was following that one closely.

Nope. I identified the key issues. Did also find a rough X-Men 101, but the Iron Man 55 and Xmen 266 were the best of the bunch. However, she did come back tonight with the rest of the books. I was expecting 2 more boxes. Instead she brought this: 10 boxes! There was no way I could look at them outside so I just bought the lot. I told her if I find something crazy like a Walking Dead 1 that I will call her back to give her some more money. Should be fun to go through. I will report back in the next day or two. It's going to take awhile since the boxes are packed. No bags or boards on anything. I thought he was talking about flying Donut's find.

Cheers.

Beautiful books. Why did CGC stop giving the designation?

That is fantastic.

Very cool. Is the cover by Ward?

Was it at auction? I can't find it. I think it was on their site for one day, no scan, but it sounded like a nice copy the way they described it. An 8.5ish asking just under $9K. They were asking $9750.00 for an estimated 8.5 file copy. Thanks guys.

Was it at auction? I can't find it.

I am at 3.0 with 4.0-4.5 with a sqoosh.

Some good ol' Biro mayhem. I love that they have taken the time to have blood splatter on the woman's legs and the injured man's hand and face.

Pretty happy with this one. I might have paid over the odds but it doesn't come up for sale often and is a nice looking copy.

Stunning!!!!

I would it was a good month or maybe for the year! Outstanding month! +1 on scans for the Eagle.

Swings and roundabouts. Good to be back.

Excellent.

That's a mind blowing group shot of Chesler goodness Jack! Woah! That is a very impressive run to put together and they all look to be in decent shape. Very nice work.
