This Week in Your Bronze Age Collection!! 35 35

[Thor Odinson-1970]

 

After seeing all those CGC 9.6's and 9.8's BA books posted, I was sort of hesitant to post this latest acquisition of mine.

At least it has perfect white pages, well-centered (for a square-bound), and sports a Neal Adams cover!

 

Behold. The origin and first appearance of the Defenders!!! 'Nuff said.

Cool book!!! Defenders were great!!!! Dont worry, not every one on here collects in just 9.6 and 9.8 grades. Your 8.5 book is mega high grade too me!!! Bronze comics I tryed to buy in VF or better...Silver comics I had to go down to VG...sometimes lower.

Your just saying that because I stole your 9.4

Already posted in general but the colours of this book in hand are amazing!

 

[Thor Odinson-1970]

Thanks.

Generally, I feel the same way as you with regards to the minimum acceptable grade levels for each comic era. The lowest respective grades reserved only for those very hard-to-find issues and major keys.

Just because I have a run of the Mummy covers that are pedigree copies. These will fit in nicely:

Not top grade, but I picked these up for a nice price

Here are a couple that just came in from Heritage and back from CGC this week:

 

One that falls on the Silver/Bronze borderline

 

 

A couple of "pedigree" books

 

 

 

My lone SA/BA purchase from local cons this spring

 

 

And a very pleasant and unexpected surprise

Couldnt agree more. I dont worry too much about grades. a nice 6.0 is as important to me as a 9.8 is to some of the other fellas. Its not about money. I dont get caught up in all the high grade drama. I personally look at stress marks and chip , bends or writing on a book as a good thing. Shows age , tells a story I guess. Someone read the thing , what was meant to happen to the book. a nice 6.0 has character to me. a 9.9 while beautiful etc seems to perfect , too clean. If its a book I want I will take a VG any day. Fact that prices are low for them is a benefit.

It just seems like it.... most of the time. I rarely post my comics due to lack of interest.

Some more BA Bats for my small, but steadily growing collection.

 

 

I think the DC Super Star Holiday special is right at the tail end of the BA according to the rules. It's Frank Miller's first work on Batman, but before his work on the DKR.

Nice stuff!

Seeing this made my day! All those crossovers helped make BA what it was/is. A Dr Doom cover can't hurt even if he is a titular character. FF always gets a point for a cover or cameo.

[Silver Surfer]

Really stoked to find a nice copy of this issue:

And a newsstand copy of this classic:

That is NICE!

 

I think that was the 1st Spidey book i ever bought as a kid. I was into the Avengers, X-men and Thor back then and didnt really like ASM but since it had Juggernaut in it, i bought it. Seeing books like that one almost make me feel like a 10 year old again buying comics off the news stand and rushing home to read them

[sufunk]

A few BA Avengers i got in the last Clink auction

 

 

 

 

 

[telerites]

This is one of my favorite BA covers and a title that I don't think gets enough love. From a submission a few months ago and for now the lone highest graded.

I have bid on 9.6 copies of this book several times on comiclink, all exceeding $100, never won them, so I was well pleased when I won this one on ebay for $50 .
