Silver Surfer Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I've been looking for a nice NM pedigree copy for a while now and I'm glad I got it at a good price. The Twin Cities copy went for $2,500 more last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trmoore54 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) Was updating my "Toughest in HG" JIM spreadsheet from last January/a year ago...no change to the top 10 issues...as far as order only issue 89 changed from 20 books to 23 so dropping down a couple notches (which would be expected to be one of the most submitted books of the top 10)... JIM 84 remains the toughest with just one 9.0 added in past year (brown cover!) My standard for "toughest" is CGC graded books 9.0 and above... 84 6 94 14 95 19 85 20 87 20 91 20 90 22 89 23 93 24 83 25 Of these, only 9 books were added to the census in the last year... 84(1) 9.0 94 No change 95 (2) 9.0 85 No change, but 2 9.0s were re-subbed to 9.2 87 No change, but 1 9.4 was re-subbed to a 9.2 89 (3) one 9.4, one 9.2, one 9.0 91 No change 90 No change 93 (2) one 9.4, one 9.0 83 (1) 9.0 I have a spreadsheet if anyone wants it send me a PM with your email and I'll send you the excel file.

MCJ Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Hello, I have not posted on these boards in awhile, but I wanted to take a moment to appreciate that when the latest Clink auction ends, my favorite comic book will have a new owner. It's the one on the right. While it's the same grade and white page quality as the Twin Cities Pedigree, and neither one has been pressed, this particular copy is (slightly) brighter. I will miss it. I tried to acquire one of the 9.4 copies of JIM 85 last year, too, but came up short. For now, all I can afford to pay is attention The work that you have done over years (even decades) to maintain and grow your comic collections astounds me, and while it's probably not said often enough, I hope you keep up the great work for future collectors and admirers.

Mark 1 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) Beautiful 85s! Too bad you sold one but you still have the other! I just subbed several JIMs and should have them back at the end of next month. 84 85 89 101 112 117 122 124 I'll post pics and grades once they come in!
