Infinite Marvel Picture Frame books 23 23

[namisgr]

This is one of the keepers for me. I had other books graded but sold them already.

 

I still have around 20 PF books I need to get to CGC.

 

 

So choice.

[MasterChief]

Yes. That is a sweet copy.

 

Here's the nicest issue of MGC I have (certified or otherwise)...

 

 

[Silver Surfer]

What a gem!

[namisgr]

Another great book! Although the original Kirby cover to FF51 is classic, it's still cool to appreciate Sal Buscema's very different take, aided by Sinnott inking, especially in such fantastic condition and registration.

Is a 9.8 Thor 200 worth anything? :shrug:

[namisgr]

Depends to whom.

 

Helps a lot if the cover is well centered, of course.

Only 5 9.8's in the census (I know someone who owns one or two)

Last sale was $685.00 so I would have to say maybe to your question. To me $685.00 is a lot, to some it is chump change.

I'm rich

Sal Buscema did some great covers for these reprints. Some easily better than the originals.

Cool cover!

 

It made me curious to know when Kane transitioned from Amazing Spider-Man to Marvel Team-Up cover chores.

 

After a bit of research, it's clear that by the time Marvel Team-Up #1 rolled off the presses, Kane had finished his cover run on ASM with issue #105 (FEB '72). Romita then picked it up from there with issue #106 (MAR).

 

But Kane wasn't done with Spidey. He launched MTU with the cover to #1 starting the month after he left ASM, then proceeded to knock out the other MTU picture frame covers during the remainder of the era.

 

And that's just a bit of trivia for those that care.

 

Thanks for posting your book. Keep collecting 'em...

I'm in lockstep with your assessment (and Bob's, too!). I'll just add I wasn't into Sal Buscema's work when I was younger.

Perhaps because I was a huge John Buscema fan who felt Big John really knew how to draw comics the Marvel Way.

That being said, I have grown to admire Our Pal Sal's work. Especially his picture frame covers!

Love that Hulk # 154.

[Black_Adam]

 

That SME #7 is a beauty too, great comics!

 

[Ghost Town]

Really sharp books, Mitch!

 

And by the way, fellow Picture Frame fans, Mitch (MasterChief) used his powers of persuasion to get this thread stickied to the top of this forum. Now we never have to look far for some Picture Frame goodness. Nice work.

I realize this thread is the infinite part but I always think to myself that picture frame books are indeed finite.
