My first complete GA run!

26 posts in this topic

Sure it's only six issues, but a few of these aren't the easiest to find:

#1 is slabbed, but it will be cracked shortly:

#2, zzz , a terrible cover, which accounts for its availability:

#3 is one I actually upgraded last year. Love the octopus and the dynamics of the cover. This image is my computer wallpaper:

#4. Beat but complete. Note that Heritage missed some slight restoration but our own Billy Parker noticed and disclosed it. I will probably upgrade this one some day if possible:

#5. Crippen copy. Has the code and the smell. Nuff said!

#6. The first one I purchased. Bought it on a whim at Wondercon 1992. 17 years later I complete the set:

Big kudos to Mr. Parker who noticed my sig file and offered me a fair deal on the books and gave me some time to raise the cash.

Great run!! I can imagine you are quite thrilled!! :cloud9: I am curious so what did you pay in 1992 for the 6? Was it $50 lol

 

About that. It was the last day of the show. But this copy has some subtle moisture damage along the bottom. Your copy is much, much nicer.

I've never seen those before... cool covers. Are the stories any good?

 

The Baker South Seas girls stories are :cloud9:

Sorry, Sean's floral bedspread trumps your cold granite floor, you lose

 

:D

 

Awesome books guys, I think you just increased the value of your runs because so many people now want them too!

Congrats Sean (worship)

 

3, 4, 5 and 6 are on my extended want list as well. You are right, that Parker is one accommodating guy!
