In the process of getting one of these as well. I'll post a pic once finalized. What grade would you give this?

Hard pressed to find another cover to surpass this as my all-time favorite Iron Man cover. D&M book too...

another early Blade appearance (and cover). Tomb of Dracula #42 Suscha News

Some classic art...

Thanks Surfer!! (thumbs u

...this. X 100. I haven't subbed in 2 years...and that was with my coupons.

Lots of sweet books...noticed tons of Don and Maggie books flying around (I picked one up myself). Whats the story behind these?

Now you need to pick up ToD 35. Just worked out something for this Suscha News copy...

On a Brother Voodoo roll right now... as Im scooping up some more early appearances. This baby is a Bowling Green copy of him vs Werewolf by Night. Just added this baby to the stash, last Brother Voodoo in title. From the Tongie Farm collection.

Very nice. Thanks. It's actually a Tongie Farm too. sweet. No Tongie sticker? Not a big sticker guy, but for some reason I like those. Maybe because it looks like the CGC hologram. So it blends in.

I still have yet to get this in hand to see. But I can't wait. You're right about some of those Tongie prices. Im late to the game with this collection, so a few of the books I wanted were already scooped up. But I got this for a very reasonable price.

Horror? [font:Century Gothic]STRANGE TALES #173 Tongie Farm collection. Last brother Voodoo. First Black Talon.[/font]

IH #181 in HG? I collect what I like and have no interest whatsoever in Cerebus.

Wow. More power to you but I don't have money to just throw hundreds, (in some cases, a couple thousand) on a book because CGC told me its a first appearance without making sure myself. Especially these days where info is a computer, tablet...even cellphone away. I guess people really do just buy the label (and the cover). Who cares what's inside.

This is false. It's on page 5 of 18. oops...you're right, its not on the last page. But the point was these are the only panels. Doesnt change that important fact. Being on the last page or page 5 or page 12 really doesnt affect the point. But thanks for correcting that. He's named, his job is identified, he's wearing a yellow hat and he has a big thumbs up. Sounds like a first app to me! this.. I said this in my previous post. I believe this appropriate for a supporting character, which he clearly was at that point in time. I think we are getting carried away to expect 1st brief...then 1st full appearance of every supporting character. What's next 1st brief and full appearance of "Happy" Hogan or Pepper Potts?

Iron Man #118, Jim Rhodes panels... EDIT: removed "on the last page."

Not sure I agree with this one, since Rhodes was not "War Machine" James Rhodes back then. He was Stark's pilot. He was simply a supporting character and was for some quite some time. He took over as Iron Man, I believe, 50 issues later, then ultimately became War Machine another 100 issues later after that. These elements raised his profile. Are we saying that a supporting character needs a splash page, some action shots (in full garb) and a cover? Maybe CGC recognizes that we don't, hence Iron Man #118 is simply labeled "1st appearance of James Rhodes."

Last I remember, 282 was the higher $ book right?

set a max bid price on an auction before I left the country for my bday. When I get back home, I check my inbox and see an invoice for my book waiting for me... and for less than my max bid no less! Happy Birthday to me!

That's actually what I was referring to. I just want 1 high grade copy!!
