Another Avengers 57 CGC 9.8 on CL

[tth2]

Agreed, Jim, and the point's been made already. By me, actually ( link ). Doesn't detract from the extraordinary run of 1965 - 1972 top census books in the Rocky Mountain collection/pedigree/thingee.

The books themselves appear to be absolutely beautiful and collectors should knock themselves out and pay whatever they want for books from the collection. But a pedigree-worthy collection it`s not, at least not until CGC starts pointing to a bunch of real keys in high grade.

Really? Even if I tell you that Doug Schmell wanted to let it take the place of his 9.8 PC copy?

Okay, it's not the 18th 9.8 copy, but it's the 7th or 8th (not sure if the latest Census is capturing this copy or not). WOW!!!!!!!!

Were you talking to me?

 

 

Always. To both. I'd never do unto another unless I'd have it done to myself first. Yes I have books for sale...do you have a want list?

Probably. I'm not sure this book, the SS#4, really is that special even in 9.8 --

I just remember mine being a touch better centered. After JIM #89 this is probably my favorite Marvel...it's not a rare book because of the era it was printed in (68/69) but man is it ever cool.

great cover yes, but also yes, not rare. I guess after seeing it so much i got tired of this particular book... so seeing it in 9.8 doesn't excite me any more than a perfectly squared, well centered, white paged 9.2 -- some books in 9.8 (pressed or not) are really stunning. For me, SS#4 just doesn't get my juices flowing.

Same here. There are a ton of books that I am much more impressed with. Avengers 57 being one of them.

If I had a 9.8 copy, it would get my juices flowing when selling it

I'd rather have the SS #4. I've never really been impressed by an Av #57.

 

In fact that is one of the runs (Av.) that I have never collected or been interested in.

I really like some of the Avengers stuff. Avengers57 is one of my favorite covers period, along with 4, and 16. I probably stand alone with 16, but ahve always loved the cover.

 

The SS4 is a nice cover, and there are a few in the run that I like. But none are top covers IMO. But I also think ASM 50 is a krappy cover.

[Silver Surfer]

To each his own but for me Avengers #57 and SS#4 are two of the best SA covers period. Busecma at his finest. In my mind no one could draw Thor, the Surfer, the Vision, Sub-Mariner, etc better than him.
