They exhibit great color and gloss. They look sharp. I’d love copies of those slabbed in my collection. Need to pay off some stuff 😬 before I go hog wild again… but love these mags. The Eerie publication book that’s coming out will be perfect timing. I can amass my wish list! Artifiction and Randall Dowling 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Artifiction Posted January 16, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) And a few slabs. Not exactly this week, but very recent purchases. I can't get a good scan of a slab so these are sales pics that I robbed from ebay.: This Vampi. #68 ended up being real nice for it's grade. I can't find any flaws, and for $45 plus shipping, I thought it was a steal. Edit to add: Found minor ink loss/rub at the middle area of the spine, back cover. Weird that nothing shows on the front. Weird #v12 #3, too ghastly of a cover to pass up. Her eyes say it all. Another Canadian variant Vampi. to add to my set. Not shooting for a complete run. Just those with covers that I like, which just so happens to be most of them .

I only had limited funds so went for my favorite cover of the bunch. Heck no I don't want to sell it. Randall Dowling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We probably should just coordinate our buys here 😂😂😂 Great pickup- loved that one and almost didn’t buy the rest because of it.

Artifiction Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I was so captivated by the front cover that I didn't even think about looking at the back. The grader did not lie. Did you grade it, LD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird Vampire Tales actually published into 1982.
