Handful of keys. I love Supes #50. It's probably the very first "instantly hot" book I ever got to buy, and I haunted the newsstands at Pac N' Save in Dublin, CA for this book to hit, having already sold out of direct stores some 2-3 weeks earlier. Within a month, they were selling for $25 each. I ended up buying 12 copies for cover price at around 11 PM as they were unpacking them. Those were the days. Also super tough in 9.8, with only 4 copies on the census.

Issue #258 is actually a tough book in this grade, too, for the same issues as Amazing Spidey #317 (the spine kinks.) My first new issue of X-Men at my LCS was, I think, #263. If not, it was #264. #266 came soon enough.

I love Wolvie #10, and would have bought 100 copies when it came out if it could, but I wasn't buying. I "hid" 3 copies in the Wonder Woman section (priced at $2.25 each) at Fact, Fiction & Fantasy in Livermore, CA, and when I got back, they were gone. :(

Both -1s are the variants. The Classic X-Men #39 is only the second copy of this book in 9.8! Unbelievable!

Last, but most certainly not least....

Subbed for a customer. Great taste. I think GL #46, as the catalyst for the last 17 years of GL continuity, will become a very important book in the coming years.

AF #51 is a tough book in 9.8, as is the Adventurers #1 variant.

I love McFarlane Spideys. I'll get all 29 books in 9.8 together at some point.

Spidey #308 is currently the rarest McFarlane Spidey (aside from Spec Spid Ann #9) in 9.8.

One of these I bought last year for $20, because I was confident it would grade 9.8. 10 years ago, even 5 years ago, this would have been unthinkable to me...to pay more than OPG for a modern...? :screwy: I finally, however, figured out that it was foolishness to pass up a $XXX book for $20, if it was a 9.8 potential book.

McFarlane Coppers..... :cloud9:

My latest Stan Lee Signature Series just arrived back this afternoon:

I'm a bit ticked about the Cap #100 because neither the LLC ding nor the LRC crease were on the book when they were signed by Stan in Dallas. :mad:

But I thought those would affect the grade more than they did so I'm at least happy it still got an 8.0.

 

The Silver Surfer #2 grade was dead-on with what I had predicted for it so I'm pleased with that one. I now have Silver Surfer #1, 2, 4 and 5 in Stan Lee Signature Series slabs (6.5, 8.5, 7.5 and 8.5 respectively). Now I'll just have to go out and find a nice #3. hm
