LordRahl Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Some pics Great books Nik. Never seen that particular DD cover before. Swampy 3, my favorite Swampy cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighVoltage Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Yeah - LOVE the Swampy cover & the DD issue. Excellent copies, Nik!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighVoltage Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Sent in a batch of 11 books - 6 Marvel books & 5 DCs. Here's the first one: (I bought a bunch of these way back when & figured I'd see what one would get...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighVoltage Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 A Marvel - this one is my son's. I helped him pick it out at the Baltimore show a couple of years ago. I thought this one had a strong chance at an 8.5/9.0, but sometimes you get the bear... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighVoltage Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 ... and sometimes the bear gets you! Now this one isn't as bad as you might think: Bought it with the resto disclosed on the boards, so no worries there, but I must've missed a tear or something (haven't called for grader's notes yet) on the inside, as I had this pegged at an 8.5 for sure, maybe a 9.0 on a good day. I do feel bad, though, as this one is my son's copy, too. He loves the Black Panther... so back to searching for a little bit nicer copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighVoltage Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 One of my junky DC's. Upper left corner crunch destroyed this one. My guess was a 9.0 or 9.2, as the rest of the book is outstanding. This one was an experiment to see how much the ULC damage would be downgraded... lesson learned! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighVoltage Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 More junky DC. One of my favorite covers in the HOM run. I thought 9.2 - 9.4 on this one & got lucky on the high side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighVoltage Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Another DC horror title I love. Purchased from the good Dr. Banner, here on the boards & he graded it spot-on... (now sell me a #82 & 83, Mike!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighVoltage Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 One of my favorite Marvel books. A very small tear on the back cover knocked it down. Pretty decent centering for this book, though & I'm happy with it. Bought it a million years ago from Ron at Redbeard's Bookden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighVoltage Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I bought this one from Andy (October) here on the boards awhile back. He graded it at 9.4 - 9.6 & he was right on! This is probably the most common Adams Avengers book in high grade, but I love the cover... Thanks Andy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighVoltage Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Another fave Avengers cover of mine. Bought this one from Bill (blue808) on the boards & I love the book - decent centering & excellent page quality! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighVoltage Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 The last DC of the batch. I had made this one available on the boards awhile ago as a raw copy, but amazingly no one even made an offer! I wasn't planning to build a Neal Adams Bats run at the time, but this one now fits in nicely with what I've got, so it's a keeper! Another favorite cover...

HighVoltage Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 And - the last one in the batch: ASM 45. Puchased this one from Brian (FoolKiller) on the boards a year or two ago sight unseen & I'm glad I did - it's as nice as he said it would be (plus it's the rare 2-cent variant)! Thanks, Brian! Two more issues to go & then I'll have completed from 39-160 in 9.0 or better. That's it for this go-around! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
