Randall Dowling Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 1 hour ago, OtherEric said: OK, so this book did show up here just 12 days ago. The difference being, thanks to @manetteska, it's now in my collection. This gives me the full run; not necessarily the most coveted comic magazine but it's a neat, scarce series with a lot of great creators. I'm delighted to have the complete series. I’ve had various issues over the years but never the complete set at once. Nice work!! oakman29 and OtherEric 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevalmeow Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I have a new set to collect. Fantastic Monsters Of The Films. This is issue #7 (Vol 2 #1). There were only 7 total issues. This one and the 1st issue seem especially hard to find in grade. My copy seems to be about F+ - F/VF as it has cream to tan pages. However, it seems all other issues that I have come across are VG at best. Randall Dowling, oakman29, shiverbones and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post N e r V Posted March 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 26, 2020 After being stuck with multiple 8.0’s I finally got an upgrade. Seems like forever (February) since I placed a bid on it too. I’ve been waiting since last December for a crack at it... speedcake, oakman29, Randall Dowling and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevalmeow Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Two of these are in pretty nice shape - maybe FN+ but the 3rd is definitely a reader GD copy. batmiesta, Randall Dowling and bounty_coder 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was just one small catch... (I still think it was genuinely a good deal, but I would like to find another copy one of these years...)

Anything less than that should have some kind of note to inform the owner why it didn't get a 9.8 or above. So that leads me to the conclusion the graders were too busy to put notes in. This could have happened for any number of reasons... Had five magazines come back today, grades 6.5 - 9.2. All have notes, including the 9.2. I guess they were just lazy on my last batch.

I'd like to think that it's not due to common laziness... Randall Dowling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bounty_coder Posted March 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 28, 2020 While I don't have this in hand yet (I will also share once it arrives) I was able to climb to the top of the pile for arguably one of my most favorite comic magazines in existence. I have been searching for a true NM range copy of this book for well over 10 years. It is one of the toughest MAD books to get in grade. Kelly Freas absolutely produced one of the greatest MAD covers with this Headless Horseman classic in my opinion. The fact that it is also a Halloween issue just frosts my cake. Pacific Coast Pedigree; I have accomplished one of my main focused collecting goals; getting arguably one of the nicest presenting copies in existence of my favorite covers in the medium. I think some divine intervention stepped it to allow me to snag this copy. As I saw some of the Pacific Coast copies around this (for some bizarre reason) go for 4-6x this one. - bounty This is Who We Are, ThothAmon, OtherEric and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
