I agree - Gene Colan's work took Dr. Strange to a whole new level. Just like John Romita took ASM in a whole new direction which I enjoy slightly more than Ditko's.

Just as Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko's style was unique. His Marvel runs, especially Spider-Man, was masterful - everyone must check out ASM 33 - no word balloons were really needed in the first part of that story. However, he's got his demons that he must live with and unfortunately for us, he's a recluse and an almost impossible man to talk to.

Finally in hand...

 

Very nice catch, Tom.

Nice book, Congrats

 

I have the exact book in grade coming from your neck of the woods (not ped )

 

Nelson, any truth to the rumor that your son is working 6 days a week in a sweatshop to pay off your comic debts?

 

Just something I've heard.

 

 

I should be saving for my wedding in June I have yet to pick out what I'm gonna wear

 

Good thing I got my priorities straight

Me thinks that I should save my pennies because there may be a "Gotta Pay for My Wedding" firesale in the near future.

Very nice haul. I guess you were lucky with no drama on the shipping front for you.

Nice book, PP, was that your birthday present?

Only two more to go (really three but tha #1 is getting further out of reach every day )...

 

I had to "settle" for a 6.5 but it is a very nice copy for the grade with good centering.

 

Already had these:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just picked up from the post office

 

That's a very nice 39, Count. I wish my post office would hand these out like yours does....

Here's what I snagged at Emerald City this Saturday. And without further ado....

 

Let's work our way up, shall we....

 

The Mass. Copy of ASM 33.

Nice haul...AGAIN!

Didn't I see that ASM 33 Mass copy somewhere in the last week or so...Clink or somewhere?

Thanks, Tom. There was another Mass Copy that Nik sold the other day to Andre...missed it by that much.

Here's what I snagged at Emerald City this Saturday. And without further ado....

Let's work our way up, shall we....

and the piece de resistance..

The Mass. Copy of ASM 33.

GPA average for the last 12 months is $888, so this is a real deal!

Hey, it's not a third of the splash, it's more like only a fifth. The one thing that really astounded me about this book was the page quality - very supple off-white pages.

I finally got my CGC submissions back. Check out the WHITE pages on the ASM 59!

Thank you, all. Hoping I can get some good catches at Emerald City this weekend.

Here's a few I gathered this month. I still have a couple that haven't made it back from CGC, yet.

Many thanks to campued1010 for a quick & easy transaction and bulletproof shipping.

So I was looking through the probation list and know there's a great deal of anger and disappointment. So which one of the boardies/ex-boardies are you most disappointed in?

For me it was 2 - Comics Supply and Gilberto Torres. I dealt with Comics Supply for a while and gradually their service degraded to a point where it was unbearable (as evidenced in many threads here, I'm not alone). Gilberto Torres, although I made only a few transactions with him, it's too bad that he just high tailed it out of town after establishing himself here as a bona fide member of the brood.

Here's the rest of the rogue's gallery.

$4000.00 scam!!!

Who the heck is Wolfhulk?

More importantly, why do you guys keep doing business with these nobodies? And then act surprised when the deal goes bad?

 

 

Everybody was a nobody once.

Not me, I've always been somebody.

Kudos to Comicgrinder for a very nice ASM 64. It's now the highest graded book in my 1-100 run at 9.6. Also, I must say that shipping was fast and packaging was second to none. (thumbs u

Thanks to Bubbagump for a couple of TPBs and a nice freebie!

Expert packaging, too!

Very nice, Tom. That's got some killer colors.

Must be a record - less than 3 and a half hours on the probation list.

And this just in.... Thank you mister Hemingway... er, Tom.

what did mjacobs8 do?

 

Took the money and ran on multiple books / buyers. I'm out $170 on an Avengers 18 CGC.

 

yikes! i bought from him back in 9/08 and he delivered. sorry to hear.

I bought from Gilberto Torres just before SDCC with no problems, so see how a little time and probably circumstances change people and our perception of them.
