TOP 5 GRAILS - THAT YOU OWN

[Norrin_Radd]

I was bored so I thought I ask the question, including the grade. For me:

 

TOS #39, 5.0

FF# 4, 6.0

FF# 12, 7.5

Avengers #4, 6.5

SS#4 , 8.0

 

No super grades to get excited about but I love them just the same.

[herc2000]

My top 5 books at the moment would have to be

 

Sub-mariner comics 38 8.5

Teen titans 32 cgc 9.4

DC 100 page super spectacular 9.4 (boston)

Batpack sealed which has a Batman 181 in it 9.4

Wonder woman 105 7.0-7.5

 

 

depends on my mood though, could change from day to day, .

[eddly]

Well... ill do this for fun...

 

1. Hulk 181 raw 7.0-8.0

2. Star Wars #1 raw 8.0-9.6 (6 copies)

3. Star Wars #107 raw 8.0-9.0

 

-- i can't really guess the guess grades on these... hence the ranges...

 

As you can see, my collection isn't all that exciting... my entire collection fits into one long box and a half. And... I don't have any graded comics as of yet.

[jmg3637]

now that I know how to post my own images from this site I will put up some of them myself

 

attached to this one is a very nice copy of Strange Adventures 1

[Jeffreykli]

You almost got it right, but check to make sure you paste the complete link...

 

 

BTW, Nice book.

[jmg3637]

thanks for posting that one. here is the one I was trying to post but screwed up with.

 

[*paull*]

It's hard to make a list, but I'll have to go with books that I was most excited about acquiring at the time. All of these are raw grades:

 

1. Mask Comics #1 in 4.5

2. Our Love Story #5 in 9.0-9.2 (I bought this book back in 1992 and looked EVERYWHERE for it, and was lucky to find a high grade one. Features a great Steranko story)

3. Silver Surfer #4 in 8.0

4. Suspense Comics #8 in 2.0

5. Master Comics #27 7.5-8.0

 

I have a book on the way that is going to make it on this list....

[EggsAckley]

Zap #0 CGC 9.8(HRG-1st print)-a miracle this one exists

 

Zap #1 CGC 9.6(HRG-2nd print)

 

Snatch #1 CGC 10.0(3rd print) third oldest 10.0 at this time to my knowledge-I'm sure it's the oldest underground 10.0 by far

 

Freak Brothers #1 CGC 9.0(HRG-1st print)

 

and have to throw in at least one of my Marvels,

 

Fantastic Four #1 CGC 6.5(bought this one in 1965 from ad in RBCC)

[Norrin_Radd]

For the gold the top 5 Grails that I own are:

 

Superboy #1 VF+

New Yorks World's Fair 1940 VF

World's Best # 1 F+(last page reattached)

Sensation # 1 (restored) F

 

The 5th is a little harder, but until a shipment comes in tommorow I guess it would be Superman # 14

 

 

Make's my collection look like .

 

Why couldn't I have started collecting the golden age when I was 5!

[r100comics]

These would not be considered "major key's" by most people's definition, but these particular issues were certainly grails for me when I was growing up. I get real pleasure from owning these books in nice condition now.

 

(Apologies to all those who have seen these before ! )

 

1.) Journey Into Mystery #118 CGC 9.4.

2.) Journey Into Mystery #112 CGC 9.4.

3.) Journey Into Mystery #100 CGC 9.4.

4.) Journey Into Mystery #93 CGC 9.4.

5.) Journey Into Mystery #114 CGC 9.4.

This is one of my grails that I recently acquired:

 

 

 

Obviously not a high grade copy, but I'm happy with it.

 

Other grails that I don't own but am working on:

 

DETECTIVE 31

DETECTIVE 33

WORLD'S BEST 1

NY WORLD'S FAIR 1939 & 1940

BATMAN 5(favorite cover and Joker splash page)

[sfilosa]

Great Journeys!!!!

[Silver Surfer]

R,

 

Issues 112, 114 and 118 are some of my all-time favorites. If I kind find those in 9.2 I'm going to buy them. Kirby was really in the zone when he drew those Thor covers, and the FF ones when you think about it.

[THE_BEYONDER]

These are my TOP 5 personal grails...

 

 

And for good measure....

 

 

[r100comics]

D.D. #158 and X-Men #108 (along with #101 and GS #1) were grails for me also because they were so high in guide that they seemed unattainable when i was a kid. I mean $25 was a HELL of a lot of money back in 1980 when I was 9 years old !

 

I have a nice #108 that I submitted myself (9.6 W, great QP), but I would like to own the others in 9.6 W as well when I get round to it. To be honest, Hulk #181 did not even register on my radar back then so it doesn't quite hold the same mystique for me now.

Me neither....but I no longer own my number 1 pick:
