I want to say 6.0 after the press, but that may be a stretch to far .... good luck

7.5 Avengers 8.0 Cap both very nice

50 years old in Canadian years .............. what's that, 43 years in American ?

and how did you complete it, how long did it take, how hard was it to do, how satisfying was/is it ?

Hi Gemma / anyone who knows, This may have been asked before in another thread, but I want to re-holder an old CGC - labelled book, but it is restored with the old designation (extensive professional) How would this scenario be handled ?

Spidey comics were my first obsession pre-puberty, even more-so than girls (!), and there is still a thrill in opening those books from time-to-time, , especially from late 70's to early 80's, and getting all nostalgic

and just one more I thought of... Detective #1 - not a fan at all

can't disagree on that - also a great cover !

Torch comin' thru that steel wall on #7 - now that's a beauty !!

Do you have 8 copies total ? -- or you've owned 8 copies over time

Beautiful white pager with no MC - congrats!!

I loved ROM Spaceknight in the late seventies when I was 11/12 years old and I collected and still have issues #1-40 Please please please Marvel -- make a ROM movie !!!!!!!!!!! Please!

WW was absolutely awful, how did it get such high praise on Rotten Tomatoes

House/condo purchase/flip in GTA better investment than GA comics these days, and gets us Torontonians just as excited as GA does ..... now back to comics

Well, I have the whole run - AF15 and then ASM1-700, plus everything after 700 up until now, plus I have all the Annuals and most of the (significant) cross-overs with Spidey on the cover. I think the key thing to do is hopefully find a nicely priced run - I was lucky to score a beauty run (many of which where in the 150-400 range) for $600 about 12 years ago on eBay. Of course, not likely in 2018, but still it's the way to go I think, eBay still has some long ASM runs for sale from time-to-time. I completed it several years ago and still have everything, and I just literally pulled out 150-400 two nights ago, all raw, and "graded" them myself. I figure all 8.0 and higher. But WOW those covers just always blow me away. I would say go for it, it is an awesome run, and I don't see $$ on this run going anywhere but up (so many 9.0 to 9.4 in the 200 to 400 range that are all like $30 here, $50 there when looking them up on GPA - no way I paid that much way back 10 years ago ....) My suggestion, and what I've been doing, is slabbing all key issues (as someone above suggested) and leaving all others raw (so say anything that is currently valued at north of $200 I'm slabbing). It is just too cool to be able to open up a book and thumb thru it, and like I said, issues 150-400 have so many awesome covers/stories. And takes up less room this way - can't imagine how much space 1000 slabbed comics would take up .....

I have no interest in Marvel Comics #1 (sorry, Torch drawn horribly on cover IMO) Tec #38 (I don't like the Boy Wonder at all either). I will purchase Tec's > 38 only if Bats looks ominous/cool despite Robin, but rare after 38. Doll Man (although not sure everyone "wants" that either) Green Lantern doesn't do it for me

No interest whatsoever in any Romance .....wait, that doesn't sound right for some reason......

What a great cover either way!! Congrats! They certainly don't grow on trees anymore, so any copy is hot hot hot right now!

That underwater blows mine OUT of the water !!!! I'm thinking a million dollar original art cover now, such an awesome piece of history to own!

It was until Detective #78 and high grade Detective #111's started to be discussed ........ ........................and I thought I had hit the jackpot with my 9.2 #111 I had graded a few months ago! oh well, still love them both!

Reading all of these stories from decades past, just have to wonder how many are out there that are not accounted for in the census - I'm thinking significantly more than anyone has made an educated guess about on here Anyone want to start the guessing again about how many AC1's and Tec27's have survived to 2018 ?

Also, try Young Allies - lots of great Schomburg WWII covers and lots available mid-grade for under $1200
