Thought I would post a few recent pickups. These are real nice copies, strictly graded by CGC.

 

This SA 96 is very, very tough to find in HG. Just thrilled to pick up this copy.

are those all from the same time as the US edition? Very cool!

 

Yes! I set collect Key books from every country.

 

I currently have 31 different Amazing Spiderman #129s, possibly the largest in the world.

 

Some of these foreign books are INSANE rare to find let alone in any condition.

 

I currently have $1000 bounties on Batman 227 from Australia as they are literally little to non-existent or non ever pop out,,,

 

American books all the way to Action Comics #1 are simple:

 

If you got lots of money you buy them with a clik of the mouse on Heritage Auctions or Ebay....not these books

 

Plus, probably 99.9999% of all foreign key books are ZERO CGC'ed becasue they cannot either be found or they simply have never been submitted

 

I have the only Brazilian Batman 227 signed by Neal Adams

 

Wouldnt sell it for $5000....

Some pretty rare books you probably have never seen but you know the covers.....

 

Brazil and France (only ones on CGC Census)

ZERO CGC'ed

These are not too expensive but I turned down $250 for each one at WonderCon due to rarity

Greek Amazing Spiderman #1 and Amazing Fantasy #15

I was going through a $5 bin of books and found this little gem. This is is Neal Adams first published work drawn when he was 17 years old....

 

Direct Quote from Neal Adams. Source: http://www.webcitation.org/5lJycKN5e

"Adventures of the Fly #4 was my first work, and that panel was printed in a comic book. It probably is one of the greatest collector's items you could get of mine."

 

Mr Adams 1st published work.....

What, $5!!! The Fly gets no respect I tell ya!

 

:mad:

 

 

The most direspectful $5 i ever spent on a Neal Adams book. This dealer didnt go through the long box and just slapped a $5 Bronze label. It was from year 1960 so its a Silver Age...

 

Im in the business of dealing with d-i-p-s-h-i-t-s,

 

and yesterday, business was a-boomin'!!!
