Copper Age dreams - they do come true

Ever had a Copper Age book you just cannot track down in decent grade? What was it, and how (if ever) did you track it down?

 

I recently had the chance to talk with one of the biggest retailers, who is known to stock a huge warehouse of inventory. When I mentioned some books that have given me a hard time over the years, he promised to get back with me. Man, did he ever!

 

The best examples of these books I have tracked down in over 20 years (off-and-on) in searching.

 

- Justice Machine Annual 1: 1st Elementals. I need to check if this is also Bill Willingham's 1st professional work before the game books.

 

- Domino Chance 7-8: 1st cameo and 1st full appearance of Gizmo, in addition to the 1st professional Michael Dooney work.

 

- Vortex 2: 1st cameo appearance of Mister X. A nightmare to track down without heavy spine stress lines. That cover was just made to be in a CGC case.

lol

 

Two of those would make my list as well.

 

I finally have a NM+ copy of JM Annual. I have 7 or 8 and all have horribly indented staples, including the one I subbed for SS. (9.2). The nice copy I tracked down has the staples off the spine, like yours does.

 

I bought a 9.2-9.4 copy of Vortex 2 on the Boards last year. By far the nicest copy I have ever owned.

 

DHP 1 is a dream that has yet to come true, because I absolutely, positively have to find one in the wild in raw NM/M.

 

My final dream yet to come true is Terminator: Burning Earth #1. I have never pulled one better than NM.

Will you let me dig through your longboxes so it feels legit?

My longboxes are like the quarter bin at Milehigh. :(

I tried to put together a 9.8 set of these years ago... Couldn't do it. (shrug)

 

Looks like there are no #2 9.8s still...

Pretty much every Terminator 2 I have tracked down has that spine front cover white streak, like something rubbed ink off the cover at certain spots.

 

:frustrated:
