Thanks Kevin! :) The 119 is such a cool book because of the 1st in it!

 

Can't wait to post more books, as soon as I get the raw ones graded.

 

Agreed, I need to get an upgrade of #119 as mine is a bit dodgy, I think.

Heres my Pence version of #87

I am looking to start a complete run of Journey Into Mystery from issues 1 to 125. Yes, this can be difficult and this is where I need your help! I understand it would be easier to start with the more expensive issues (JIM #83) and work my way through it.

 

However, knowing some of the pre-hero issues could be scarcer than others I would like to know from people who have completed the run for the issues to look out for and snag whenever found as they could be more scarce or rare to find.

 

I’m not looking to complete a run of near mint books. What I do want is to find copies in the VG to VF/NM range (for the later issues) at the very least so it’s somewhat presentable and more importantly READER copies. I would like to read the entire series! Thus, if anyone can assist in letting me know which books to look out for in whatever grade to be found due to scarcity, I would appreciate it!

 

I already have JIM 34, 114, 119 (CGC 9.2 – Suscha News), and 122. I am now looking to fill in the rest, thanks for your help in advance. :thumbsup:

The JIM 87 is the best cover of all the JIM's from 83-125.

 

Love the red/orange colored background with Thor saying how he can't break the chains! It's far more interesting to hear a superhero say what he cannot do, than what he can do.

I dunno. I'm a big fan of 108. I'm a sucker for the yellow covers.

87 is right up there for me...but I'm also quite enamored with #95...then probably 114...93...and 116 to round out my Top 5...108 coming in at a tight #6... :cloud9:

 

Here's my 87... :cloud9::cloud9:

Is this just a thread to showcase books, or have discussion too? Can someone be so kind who has perhaps completed a run of JIM to send me a PM as to which books they felt were the toughest to obtain for their run? I would appreciate it and a future thanks to any help!

 

When I get a chance I will get around to post some of the soon to be acquired books in this thread. I have the Suscha News JIM 119 in 9.2 that I need to get a scan of eventually.

 

I don't see any pre-hero JIM's in this thread as much, all are Thor related books from 83-125. Is there no love for the 1-82 part of the run? hm

Easily JIM #84, at least in high grade. They're all readily available in mid grades and below.

 

After that ish, high grade copies of 90-95 are all challenging.

Thank you Namisgr. I would have thought some pre-hero books would be the toughest to find too. We will see!

Sorry, but I was only referring to the Superhero issues that I collected.
