  1. Sadly, I was the under-bidder on this one. Congrats....and sorry for bidding you up.
  2. I really wanted this one! I am glad nobody outbid me. I had no intention of winning this. But...nobody outbid me.
  3. I tried for the Blue Beetle, but failed. Congrats on an awesome book.
  4. I got the two books I wanted most! Plus a couple others.
  5. Book #16 side story.... On an early December night in 1973, my mom asked me to fetch my favorite comic for her. I sifted through my comics and picked out the one that had the best cover; Marvel's Greatest Comics #42. She tore the cover off right in front of me and handed the remainder. No big deal....I went back to playing with football cards. Christmas morning came and the reason for the dastardly act of comic destruction was revealed; This brings me to comic entry #16. Marvel's Greatest Comics #42 is the rightful owner of the slot, but a 9.2 (with amazing deep colors) is the best copy I could find. When I found this... I fell in love with it. As a result, I kicked out the most important comic of my childhood. I couldn't get rid of it, so it became #16B. So much for limiting myself to 50 comics.
  6. Hi-School Romance 1, 6, & 10 none have been pressed #6 is a file copy. CGC 9.0 CR - OW. The cover is nicer than the grade. Corners seem perfect so something on the inside must have brought the grade down. #10 is a file copy. CGC 8.5 LT-OW. Cover is also nicer than the grade, but not as nice as #9. #1 CGC 5.0 LT-OW. Cover is also nicer than the grade. A little bumping at the bottom of spine. $99 for all three ($33 per slab )
  7. Great Books! Please share some pictures or scans so we may enjoy your books as well
  8. Black Magic #17.....12....v2#11 (or whatever number it really is) Crime Files #6 (Per PM)
  9. Very cool and weird set! They are even numbered 1-33. Thanks for sharing.
  10. Sweet set! How about a group photo?
  11. Just for starters, I would add: Amazing Spider-Man #101 Marvel Spotlight #2 I would skip Hulk 141 and the Cat #1
  12. My days of collecting anything and everything are over. After accumulating almost 100,000 comics (most of them worthless), I decided to strip my collection down to 50 comics. The 1st 30 keepers were pretty easy, but it got much harder as I got toward #50. This journal will document my "One in /One out" strategy of collecting from this day forward. I added scans of all 50 comics, so I can sift through my comics without having to get them out of safe storage. I have new additions on the way, so I will share my thought process on each one I kick out. This is primairly for my amusement, but feel free to comment on the decisions that I make! #1
  13. Tales of Suspense #42 CGC 8.5 White Early Iron Man $1,200 (Last GPA was $850, but that was for a C/OW. The next most recent sale was for an OW/W at $1,025)
