Picked this up raw years ago for $5, just received it back from CGC :) - Not pressed

Classic Cover by Perez+Austin!  Outstanding Byrne interiors embellished by inking legend Gene Day. Not many books in the history of the Comics Industry before or since from cover to cover  that looked so beautiful.  Apologies for getting so choked up, but the saying they don't make them like that anymore applies to Avengers 181

This book is an amazing book I have one and I think if you’re a fan of the avengers you have to own a copy it’s such a brilliant book

Fresh back from CGC yesterday - UNpressed. A $2 local con raw purchase from 1995. Picked up 5 High Grade Panthers that day for a ten spot. The dealer was one of the most friendly, honest and genuine I've ever met. Dealt with him at local shows for several years.  Rino sure hope you are still with us man and are doing well.

Odd that the month of the book not displayed in the trade dress above the corner box.

#'s 4,5,9,14,15 were the 5 for $10. I've kept records of all my back issue purchases since 1990, starting on paper, then Lotus 123 in 1992, then Excel in 1994. My current xlxs is descendant of that original 123 sheet ported to Excel in 1994 :) 

I sent #15 to CGC 18 years ago it received (a deserved) 9.6 and at the time there were none higher. A few years later I found a CGC 9.8. I then traded the 9.6 #15.  I am thinking of submitting 2 of the remaining 3 from that day.

You got one!  Congratulations. 

yes lol I over paid for it haha, like almost way over, $393 all in and shipped from Dave and Adams.

But finding one priced cheaper or more reasonable, is proving more and more difficult (thumbsu
