[sterlingcomics]

[UKavenger]

Love the headless horseman! That's another on my list then!!

 

A few to share, some of these already on, but excited about them as I only got them over the last few days!

 

 

 

 

 

[UKavenger]

Few Weird war tales too!

 

 

 

[sterlingcomics]

very cool books! Some of those are still elusive to me in HG....

[UKavenger]

Thanks for that.... here are the others I have digitaled??!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Managed to get a good high grade set of Werewolf plus the 3 Spotlights, so pretty happy with that. I love the sewer cover! I also realise the WWT machine gun/skeleton has been done to death (No pun intended) but I LOVE the cover!

One of my great regrets in comic buying was back in 1990 when I was buying books from what is now referred to as the Monterey collection was that I passed up the entire 124 issue run of Weird War in unread (Monterey books are the same quality as Oakland and Don Rosa) condition. He wanted $125 for the whole set. I forget what I did buy instead. When you see a whole run of books in that condition.....

[sterlingcomics]

Do What? $125 for the entire WWT set?!? Where's the crying icon? I've got quite a few of those books...from Sulipa. Very nice stuff.

That is a bummer. If they looked anything like some of the Monterey Phantom Strangers, they must have been beautiful!

Just got in about 10 books from ebay seller genepliner, and I can definitly say he generally overgardes by .2 to .4 and even a half a grade or a full grade in scarcer cases. I purchased HOM 218 (all his grades) nm, 219 nm, 204 nm, 205 nm-this one may even be a only a 8.0, 211 nm, 212 nm, 215 nm, 217 nm, and 175 in fine--that was a fine minus. Without getting into each book, because they are not in front of me as I wrtie this, most books were a 9.0, maybe one was a 9.2, and one was a 8.5. I can say on the positive side, thay all have nice owtwp pages, a few even white, and he ships quickly and packs securely. But no backing boards.

 

I know I'm dredging up the past, but since I just got some books from genepliner, I searched around and saw this. He definitely overgrades. The redeeming thing is that his books end up going cheap...cheap enough that they were still worth what I got. I just picked up some Secrets of Sinister House that while they look nice once I've got them out of the yellowing bags and into mylars, you can tell they'd be in a lot nicer condition if they weren't handled so much. Near Mint for him ended up being FN/VF.

Amen brother....the three House of Secrets I bought from him need to go on the chopping block.....7.5-8.0's......definitely not 9.4-9.6's. Very disappointed in his grading.

Man.... those were the days! I love/hate hearing those kinds of stories!

 

I've completed my run, but there are still VFs in there that I need to upgrade. There are tough, tough books all over the run. For example, I see many HG #7s, but very, very few #6s. There are a lot of #40s, but not as many #41s, it appears. A complete High Grade (and by that I mean strict 9.0 and up) is a real achievement.

[UKavenger]

Few more of the nicely shaping collection of BA horror!!

 

 

 

 

 

[UKavenger]

I have just got full runs of Swamp Thing & Weird Mystery Tales in nice high grade, wondered if anyone wants to have a butcher's at them? (Missing ST #1 on its way seperately!!)
