And then a couple of books that were on my abbreviated want list -- you know the one you have, but have little expectation of ever acquiring because of scarcity and poverty? To get two of these in one year was very fulfilling, but now has me delusional that I can find more on that list :eek:

 

(I know this is only 9, but I have one en route from Heritage that will hopefully make #10.)

 

Very cool set of books!!! :applause:

I agree, awesome books. I especially love those creepy facial expressions on the elephant eared guys on the Science #3.

Alex--that's some serious low grade intimidation you have going on there! lol

 

My list has been a little lighter this year as I spent the majority of 2010 getting back into my SA Marvel grail hunt. But, it wasn't totally devoid of some sweet, sweet GA pickups :grin: You decide...

 

First, this book was actually purchased in 2009 but for all intents and purposes, it became a brand new book in 2010 thanks to Ze-Man:

 

Here's the before (minus the interiors)

Here's the after!

And yes, the interiors are there but I the cover is where all the work was done.

 

Next up is a more recent purchase:

Probably my biggest acquisition of 2010 though would be my copy of Superman #14 that I picked up from ft88... which I still need to scan. lol

 

I also managed to get my hands on an affordable copy of the BEST train cover out there (Yes, Action Comics #13, I'm calling you out!) with Superman #3 thanks to PointFive!

Then I snagged another big book I was always a fan. Since 1st appearances in GA DC are just too pricey, 2nd appearances are something I like to acquire:

So... yeah, not a bad year in the GA collecting department for me this year :grin:

 

Great great books! Superman 3 and 4 +9 :cloud9:

 

Love the Action 56 resto job still fascinates me!

Gorgeous Fight 5 !! I've also come to the conclusion that's it's very difficult to find after years of searching for a nice copy, and still having nothing to show for it.
