OK I do not have scans of any of the issues I have, so I "borrowed" a few pictures from Chuck's website.

 

Looking again at them, I really like them but I like all his covers. I am just a little biased towards Thor :)

OK, these aren't all Fabry covers, but they make a nice group photo

 

Very nice set!! (thumbs u

 

Thx! I'm not rich enough to build the best Spidey set, or the best Conan set (much as I'd like to), so I console myself by building a top Hellblazer set. I realise that slabbing these makes most people raise an eyebrow, but I enjoy adding to the set and it's AFFORDABLE! :grin:

 

It's also not as easy as all that. If anyone ever finds a 9.8 HB#27, let me know.

Great shot!

 

Only 200+ books to go :)

GREAT Group shot. When I get my books back from CGC (all Fabry covers) I'll be sure to post a group shot as well.

 

And may I say, F Spidey! !

You are a brave man to undertake a HELLBLAZER set. I am concentrating on PREACHER before I even consider getting a CGC run of HB.

Building a HB set (or any VERTIGO run) may be cheaper than building a Spidey run, but it won't be any easier. I haven't checked the HB census, but I know more than half of the PREACHER books don't have a graded example. and another 25% only have one example. So getting a run, in any grade, will be challenging.

 

Good luck with HB doh!

Yep, I'll have to submit almost all of them myself. On the very rare occasion that a 9.8 of an issue I don't have pops up on ebay I'll take it like a shot (assuming it's priced sensibly).

Getting ready to submit another 30 soon....

 

So when are we going to see your Sandmen all together? Waiting until the set's complete? :popcorn:

 

Definitely - only have 16 books left to go (out of 77), but, unfortunately, most of those have either none or just one 9.8 in the census. Just got a Sandman #50 platinum variant CGC 9.8 back - apart from the #8 editorial variant, that's pretty much the hardest Sandman book to find in high grade :cloud9:

this thread may work out for you in the long run. I actually got out more HB to get graded knowing you need them.

It's worked out for me in the short run too :grin:

 

I'm gearing up to submit another batch soon. Always interested in picking up 9.8's that I don't have (thumbs u

It really doesn't matter what anyone else on these boards thinks, so long as it make you a happy collector. That's why I started the "Slabbing Books For Yourself" thread in Comics General, because there are a few books I am thinking about slabbing that don't have a lot of resale value, but they are important to me.

 

By the way, are you tracking your collection in the CGC registry?
