As far as names for insect peeps go, Insect Man is about as self explanatory as you can get! I wonder if anyone has an appearance of Grottu handy???

Thanks Doc! I turned focus away from TTA to concentrate on a few other runs but an offer came in and I couldn't pass on it. bc's copy is pretty snazzy too!!!

I knew you could hang with Krang!!!

Bang Bang .... it's double Krang!!!!!

Krang is the Thang! There might need to be a Krang Gang!!!

Speaking of just buying things, I bought this about 10 minutes ago and can't WAIT to get it!!!

It's SO funny that the topic of toys came up, as the other day, I bought THIS figure! I'm such a child ....

LOVE this cover and am waiting for my pitch on the right copy. He sure put some work in on THIS cover!!!

Wow, that's quite an accomplishment!!! Congratulations!!! I look forward to seeing you roll them out one at a time!!

Thanks bc!!! Yeah, I'm already on my way down the rabbit hole. Save yourself bc .... it's too late for me .....

You're eyes were right on the money this time Jimbo, as yup, it's a Circle 8 copy! I just checked and CGC DOES acknowledge the Circle 8 collection as a pedigree. This is what it says about the collection in the pedigree area: Circle 8 In 1992 this massive collection of 100,000 comics was discovered in a barn in Tuscon, Arizona by Greg Buls and Howard Harris. It was assembled through a used bookstore between 1955 and 1972 who discounted unsold comic books by writing a grease pencil "8" inside a circle, indicating a discount of 2 cents off the original 10 cent cover price. This practice continued as cover prices increased to 12 cents (with a grease pencil "10" written as the discount), 15 cents, and 20 cents, with an estimated 50% of the collection exhibiting the written discount. Of note, many of the highest graded horror and science fiction Atlas comics from the '50s hail from this pedigree.

Thanks! You're spot on correct about that! I don't even collect this run, but when I see books in this high of grade and can actually afford them, I try to lock a few down. Both of those are actually tied for highest graded. Going down that particular rabbit hole will definitely require restraint on my part, as Atlas produced a TON of horror titles! Prices will usually keep me in line though.

Need a better pic of THIS one too!!!

A pre pre-hero type of thing, but I've seen some posted here, so why not? Not the best pic but I will snap a better one once it arrives.

Pic could be better ...

Not the best pic, but all I have until it arrives.

Snagged this one today!

Indeed it does!

Nice copy@frozentundraguy

And my final grab last night (taking advantage of the 5% eBay bucks thingy)!!!

A couple from yesterday's haul.

I only have a mid grade raw copy. If memory serves, our own @bc has a nice high grade copy though. Maybe he'll share it after seeing your post. It's a book I'm looking for as well.

Bought this one at the same time as the copy above.

Bought this one about a half hour ago. I've been gravitating toward somewhat higher graded copies than this one is, but when the money is right ....

I've been jumping a bit more lately! Snagged THIS one yesterday.
