OV Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Sweet! Awesome job to get them all in the photo like that! Are you going to go for the whole 155 issues in an SS collection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Master Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I don't think so... at least not at this time. So many of the higher numbers only have 1 or 2 in 9.8 so I'm really concerned about grade drop on those and having to then find others... But I do plan on getting the first 50 in CGC 9.8SS, the last 6, and several keys between 50 and 150 (60, 93, 100, 106 most of which I have I believe) and some random issues here and there! Most of them are Larry of course but I also have signatures from Golden, Trimpe, McLeod, Zeck, Perez, Conner, Grant, and McFarlane. It's been fun finding everyone's signature!

maloney414 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Ok, so I recently re-read my #1 and something occured to me. I want to ask you guys about the Joes on the cover to #1. Obviously, you have Steeler driving the tank. Zap with the bazooka, Flash with the bright red pads, Stalker & Scarlet in front of the tank. But who is jumping towards us, leading the charge? I always thought it was Grunt. But it occured to me it should be Hawk. The original Hawk had the same uniform, and he's the leader after all. Plus, the original toy Hawk came with a visor on his helmet like the character on the cover. (Grunt didn't have a visor.) Plus, the Grunt in the corner box at the top doesn't have a visor either. Is it Hawk or Grunt? Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maloney414 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Hawk +1 I'm totally thinking it's Hawk now. But did anyone else ever think it was Grunt? Or am I just I think it's because I never had the original Hawk figure. He came with a missle set or something. But I definitely had all the single figures over the years.

whisp Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Hawk came with the MMS (mobile missile system) and didn't have a weapon but had the visor. However grunt had the m-16. Its like a mix since both Grunt and Hawk had same body but different heads, different shoulder strap colour and boots colour when it came to the paint apps. With all the simlar things I would still assume to guess its Hawk leading the team. Green Shirts Rock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it Hawk or Grunt? Thoughts? Yeah I agree it's Hawk but I thought it was Grunt for years. I always wondered why these particular characters were chosen? They were the most colorful or unique uniforms??? (and I always thought it was funny that Snake-Eyes, the character that without a doubt appeared on more covers than any other, wasn't on the first cover.)

whisp Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 It is the green shirt era 1982/83 for the toys. Majority had green shirts even Scarlett. Only person that didn't was Snake Eyes for 1982. Even all the vehicles where green. Mobat, Vamp, Ramp, MMS and the list goes on for the era. It is my favourite era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Master Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Got a surprise in the mail today - these are two books in the Marvel run that were not written by Hama. These 2 were written by Steven Grant; I was happy to get him to sign them!!! Also a big Kudos to DWC - after 3 seperate subs totalling 14 book I have yet to have a grade drop! Thanks!

whisp Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Can someone tell me what a GI Joe #1 first printing signed by Larry Hama in about 8.0-9.0 raw goes for? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maloney414 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Can someone tell me what a GI Joe #1 first printing signed by Larry Hama in about 8.0-9.0 raw goes for? Thanks I'd say about $30 or so? A blue label CGC 8.0 ended recently on eBay for about $20. So the signature might bump it up a little. It's tough with raw sigs. Sometimes they don't raise the price. http://www.ebay.com/itm/G-I-JOE-Real-American-Hero-1-CGC-8-0-Marvel-1982-gi-/170692020002?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item27be098722 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whisp Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Bought this for my birthday a few days ago. Not comic but thought Joe fans would like to see. Green shirts woo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maloney414 Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Very nice! Is that Firefly complete? The little green phone (walkie-talkie) is a bugger to track down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
