Ghost Town Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 And I got back this little beauty too. Cover art by Humberto Ramos. The kid in the sketch with Spidey is my 2 1/2 year-old son Robbie. I'm not much of a signature series guy, but that's one of the coolest books I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worldsbestcomics Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 When Paul Smith was at Emerald City earlier this year I decided to take a chance and get him to sign his X-Men books. Here are the results: You suck. I hate you. A complete run of Smith's X-Work in 9.8, signed by the man. I'll just have to content myself with having more Harby #1 9.8s than you. (seriously, that's a beautiful set. Awesome!) Paul was a real friendly guy. I had a blast talking to him and I also commissioned a Nightcrawler sketch that I gave to a buddy of mine. I only have two Harby 1 9.8s - one is signed by Shooter and JJ. The recent increase in the census was noticed on the Valiant boards and I said it was your sweet hoard. I should scan and post my Lapham Zephyr sketch. Then you would hate me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never been much of a signature guy myself but I have had some fun with these sketch cover books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean it was hypothetically noticed on the boards..... I should scan and post my Lapham Zephyr sketch. Then you would hate me. Do it! I wanna see it. The only Zeph sketch I have is a SUHWEET sketch from Hobo.... Lapham only lives 5 miles away from me! I should stalk him. (I kid, I kid!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shark Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Man, that is one VERY nice collection you came across. How long ago did you buy these? He/she was obviously a big DC collector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaOmega Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I came across this collection a little over a year ago, all DC and approximately 950 books total. I would say that the average grade is in the 9.0 to 9.2 range with page quality being off-white to white. The nice part was that all of the keys were still there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR.X Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 (edited) My scanner is garbage, I apologize for the scans but this is it. I recieved these back yesterday. My first submission to CGC. I want to thank Dice X and Divad for steering me in the right direction on slabbing. The Strange Tales #81 has been in my possession for over 25 years or better. It came back top edge trimmed. I guess there were butchers in the hobby back then to. I was really surprised. The Strange Tales #84 was in the grading forum before I submitted these. Divad almost nailed it with his grade. All of these books came back .5 within my grades except fot the Astonish # 93. They hit it for the light crease on the bottom front corner. I have nothing but trouble with photobucket. I someone could tell me what the best size to load these would be, I would appreciate it. I dont have the time to experiment with what size to download these. http://i608.photobucket.com/albums/tt166/drx710y/CCF06062009_00005-1.jpg[/img]]sstrange tales http://i608.photobucket.com/albums/tt166/drx710y/CCF06062009_00006-1.jpg[/img]]stange tales 84 [url=]strange tales http://i608.

Bomber-Bob Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 They made up for it with this, 1 of 1 in grade: FYI, I just saw your ASM Annual 10 on Comiclink. However, I thought I saw it on the Focused Auction also. I just checked and there is another copy in 9.8 in the Focused Auction, different cert, also advertising single highest graded. Sorry, just thought you should know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
