[*Bronze age fan*]

Thanks guys! I got to add another comic today. Just got this in the mail. This gives me every Marvel Annual from July 1962, Strange Tales Annual #1 and Millie the Model Annual#1 (the first Marvel Silver age Annuals, came out in the same month) to 12/1979.

 

 

Strange Tales Annual #2 CGC 6.0, White pages too. The 6th apperance of Spidey (as per Rodan )

Thanks Bro! (thumbs u Only one person thought it was cool that I finished the hero run of Strange Tales? Wow. Whats the comic collecting world coming too??? Low grade collectors get no props! I have to buy some 9.8 copies of 5 dollar books. Then everyone comes out of the woodwork.

 

More props!

 

In fact, I'm jealous! I haven't been buying much and it's killing me.

 

I'd much rather look at lower grade books here and runs in the Group Shot thread. I appreciate the high grades, but looking at 9.6s, especially scans, just gets boring after a while. I'd rather see real world books that present nicely and were bought on a budget.

 

Sounds like I'm talking about mine.

Thanks Bro! I am the same way. I see 9.8, 9.6 stuff...and its nice....But I would never shell out the money for them. I LOVE seeing mid to low grade silver stuff that presents nice. Because I know I would have jumped all over it, if I had the chance to buy it.

Finishing off a genre! I just got in the mail the last War genre comic that I needed to have all the War type comics published from Marvel comics from 1/1960 thru 12/1979. Not many war comics came out from Marvel during those 20 years. I only see 241 comics that would fit into that genre from that time frame. The last book I needed was the first one that was published during that time. And it was pretty hard to find! Got a pretty nice (Fine) copy from Metro that was pointed out to me by Jimjum. Thanks Bro!

 

If anyone sees that I missed a title...Let me know. Thanks.

Completely off topic.

 

Some of this is alleged till proven in court.

 

I am a cop. I don't really talk about this stuff...But this is how I spent 3 AM last Saturday morning. After these alleged guys robbed two people in my town at gunpoint, the vehicle they were fleeing in was pulled over by my co-workers (friends), the suspect pointed a loaded gun at my friends and tossed it back into the vehicle...he then took off on foot. Me and my co-workers (Friends) arrived on scene at the point he started to run. Chased him a block into a real dark parking lot not knowing if he still had the gun on him, we grabbed (tackled) him taking him to the ground. After cuffing him we found a fully loaded clip of ammo in his pocket....also recovered two guns in the vehicle. Talk about an adrenaline rush.

A friend of mine is a cop. He started off in our small quiet home town but he's an adrenaline junkie....always was....and he transferred to a nearby larger city and put in for one of the rougher areas there. I promised to never blackmail him over some of the *spoon* we used to do BEFORE he became an officer GOD BLESS...

Whats up Bro? I needed the TTA 31. I have a TTA 30. The seller didnt have the right picture up. He had the #30 on the #31 auction. I wanted to see how it presented. I emailed him twice and he never fixed it...or got back to me. So I didnt bid. The #30 looked pretty nice. Did you get either?

[jimjum12]

SPRAGG......The Dirt Clod that LIVED !......I always liked that one. That first Grogg is a favorite.....one of the more complex of the PH monster books. You're getting some real cool stuff lately. GOD BLESS....

I got to add one book today. I bought this off Ebay with no picture, and no number was given in the description. I figured I was buying a beat copy. And it is. BUT, this is a book I could not find for quite sometime. I need 4 more really hard to find books in the 1960s from Marvel. At least I can cross off this one!

 

Linda Carter Student Nurse #5 This gives me the complete 9 issue run of this title. Now I cant start asking everyone if they have a Millie the Model #97

Any copy of these titles are a rarity and fill a gap/move your collection on to the next hard book.

Great stuff bro, keep it up (thumbs u
