    Dang, I missed it too and I was wanting to get another pair of Hoka's.

    One sig has to be Stan Lee - he signs everything

    My answer probably lurks somewhere in these 47 pages but without going through and rereading, I have a quick question. What years do the Okajimas run? I have a slabbed Jungle 126 from 1950 but as I was going through my books, I found this - a raw Danger and Adventure #22 from 1955 with a copy of the certificate. I had no idea they ran through the mid 50s. Is this accurate?

    Really great selection of books. That Jungle is awesome.

    If this isn't getting to tedious of a thread, I will finish my FYs tomorrow and get to the Startling. Both Startling and Thrllling are large piles of books. The Thrillings were the longest of the runs. Thanks again for letting me share.

    And to close out through #10. Anyone else think of Exciting 30 when you look at FY 8?
  7. telerites
    #6 and 7 are awesome covers. I do have another beautiful raw copy of #6 but it couldn't slabbed due to an overhang. Full disclosure, I sent it to the folks across the street to see if their inner holder may accommodate the overhang which I doubt but thought I would try - my first sub to that group.

    2 thru 5 with a raw 4 kicker

    Starting the Fighting Yanks with obviously #1. Bought this on the boards years. I forget his screen name but his name was George and he was from the UK. Not sure if he still posts but he had an awesome collection of books.

    Thanks so much, Gino.

    I am happy to see the thread has not been zapped as I believe it is healthy discussion and could be used by the grading company to see their customer's insights. Grading is subjective and I am not suggesting that grading practices should change based on disgruntled submitters but at least to note consistency should be paramount across staff changes and over time. Like Zolne says, many or most of us GA collectors have been collecting and grading books for a lot longer than third party grading has been around. A few may even know how to accurately and consistently grade Thanks to @Sqeggs for initiating the discussion.

    Not on this one, Corey. I think I would throw low ball bids on some books and happen to win them. The only hoard with a story is Wonder #9. When I get to it, I'll post why so many.
  13. telerites
    I hadn't realized that. I haven't looked at census numbers on any of the books but would think there are some numbers. Wait till we get to Wonder 9.

    From Jungle to Western I was fortunate to add some Rockfords and dupes to close out the series. Actually I have Rockfords of the last three issues.
  15. telerites
    63 thru 66
  16. telerites
    60 thru a couple of 62s
  17. telerites
    55 thru 59. Not sure how 59 gets a classic bondage cover. I like it but I personally wouldn't tag it as that. Lots others from other publishers I think deserve it above this one
  18. telerites
    Loaded up on 54 with four copies.
  19. telerites
    50 thru 53 with two 52s. 51 is the first appearance of Miss Masque. and 53 is yet another Crippen.
  20. telerites
    45 thru 49. I loved the way Schomburg drew robots. The classic Human Torch 23, Brick Bradford 6 and so many in what he did with the Nedors. A Big Apple and a "D" (Crippen) ped in here.
  21. telerites
    Not sure how I managed three copies of 44. The middle one is a Bonnett's Book Store.
  22. telerites
    40 thru 43. 41 is one of my favorite war covers of the run.
  23. telerites
    Thought I would post the 39 separately. It has become a beast of book and I am so happy to have bought it when I did. Still pricey but not crazy like today. Bought raw and turned on target with what I had it pegged.
  24. telerites
    34 thru 38 More great war covers and with 35 I went back to my android phone top take the pics. Tried a borrowed digital camera but not as clear as the phone. The camera is more than a few years old though.
  25. telerites
    31-33 with two 33s. The higher graded copy has a tape pull and was surprised that it wasn't punished more harshly. Some more great war covers.
