abracadabra Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 I'm pretty excited because later today I am going to be buying a low grade Showcase 22! I hope to upgrade next year but it will have to do for now. My annoying question is does anyone have gpa info for a CGC 2.5 copy? Thanks so much in advance! I will be sure to post pictures if the deal goes through! That's awesome. So are you picking it up from an LCS or a private dealer? I moved from Michigan a few years ago but I visit twice a year and I'm always looking for a decent LCSthat has a good back issue selection. I am picking it up from another collector. Where at in Michigan are you from/do you visit? I live in the southern part of it. As far as back issues go, there are some descent stores that have a bunch of random fill-ins and minor keys. Kalamazoo has Fanfare (though they just had a huge sale and are pretty picked through right now), Battle Creek has Discount Hobby, Jackson has Nostalgia ink and another place, Lansing has Capital City Comics which is just ok, Grand Rapids has a few places. But if you want one of the best selections in the country, Motor City Comics in the Detroit area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmg3637 Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 here are a few that I had on photobucket. I think that the 11 was the first appearance of the GL Corps on the cover. The 17 is one of the books from my original collection. When I got back into collecting I put the little green dot on the bag of my original books co that I could easily recognize them later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arexcrooke Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Im sure that those can find a nice home with the other 26 GL slabs I have when you do get them slabbed. Suhweet books! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tth2 Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 (edited) The GL #20 is an awesome book. The Politically Correct thing to do would be for you to show us your copy! Edited September 22, 2007 by tth2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonker Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 the 11 is one of my favorite covers! How is the story? or do i dare even ask? I haven't read it in years, but as I recall, it doesn't suck! It was reprinted in the back of one of the Adams GL/GA issues, which is where I first saw it.

arexcrooke Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Thanks bro! Ive got more GL's but my scanner just mauls slabs. So to get anything scanned, I have to take em to school. I havent had time to do that and i hope I can soon. I want to eventually get scans up for all of my slabs in my registry. Ive added descriptions to all of them already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
