My Ron Frenz commission finished !! Being sent to CGC now 🤟

Not the "what else do you collect" that anyone wants to see here .........

wait ... these are NOT yours you are saying ?

Holy F**K !!!!! Ok, that's freakin' huge dude! Do you have 2 Action #1's as well ?

yes, for sure. I bought my Orr rookie for 1K several years ago, now north of 3k -- guess it's kinda like GA, go for the grails and vintage of card collecting and those hold and even increase there value over time

YES !!! and also remember "scrambles" when you'd stand out in the playground at recess and basically throw away all of your triples and quadruples and watch everyone lose their mind fighting each other to grab everything they could !!?? Was so fun in Canada (i'm from Toronto) being 10-12 in the late 70's and in love with hockey and hockey cards That 90's craze started by Upper Deck - what a scam that was. I have everything still, and it's worth about a penny a card, if even that. Still love my collection though.

That's incredible !!

seriously, thank you as always for your level-headed posts ....... I know you've only been posting this same thing dozens of times over the last 2 + years, but it's always refreshing

I sure hope so

I sold 6 months ago, needed some $$ for OA and figured it had gone about as far as it could for a long while. Maybe I'll end up being wrong, but I felt same way as you.

Thanks .... The SS book together with the OA piece , gonna get it all framed and stare at it forever

I have this book out for signing by him right now, to go along with this —- one of my dearest treasures that you might appreciate :

MY LORD !!! no words ...........

that's just not fair!! incredibly lucky dude !

priceless !

Awesome man !! Just getting into these, I envy your collection ! I have these as well .... again, just getting into these, but so cool (the Hendrix is 2nd printing BTW, but still awesome!)

Holy crappers!!! Stunning!

Here they are :

I am 100% with you here. My age was 12ish when I discovered ROM and bought and devoured issues #1 to about 25 - then I guess I just became to "cool" for kiddie comics. But now later in life, I have never forgotten the very cool premise of his story and I just recently finished collecting the whole run (including annuals), plus a beauty 9.8 first issue ( my original is a solid 7.5-ish). Also, Catskill Comics was recently selling OA pages from the first few issues, I was late to the game to get a page from issue #1 but did score the last page of issue #2 - AND I have Sal working on a cover commission as we speak ...... I'll post some of the above a bit later today.

So happy that I got the full “Todd” treatment !!

I had requested the front AND back cover of MCC#1 be signed and I'd pay whatever they wanted, but sadly only front was signed and only the T.McF sig -- also the copy I sent in was already slabbed, so I accepted their fee for de-slabbing - but still only got a T. McF and I guess I will never know the "window" that CGC left for Todd to sign in ..... whose fault I will not know ... I did call about the back cover not being signed, and they said that with the overwhelming volume they could not do special requests. So I'm guessing your ink request would get the same response. I saw one ASM #316 signed for someone 1) in black and 2) across the "Amazing Spider-man" lettering at top of book -- my god, I hope I don't get something like that on my 316 !! nice white marker with full name just below half way down - please!
