My Grail & my thanks to the CGC Boards!

[HighVoltage]

The Boards can be a fantastic place.

 

One evening last summer, I was viewing Brian's (Foolkiller's) 'Whirlwind Buying Spree' thread: LINKY to the awesomeness

 

I saw a book that caught my eye & inquired about it. It wasn't for sale at that time, but about a month later I got a message from Brian saying that the book was available.

 

I'm not on the Boards all the time, but I had just happened to check my messages that morning & I was able to get a reply off to Brian within 17 minutes of his post. We were able to quickly agree on the terms & conditions & I embarked on a rather large (for me, anyway) sales thread within the Boards. Thanks to you guys & gals, I was able to raise the finances for my comic collecting grail.

 

Everything was achieved & realized through the CGC Boards.

 

It was a ton of work & it was a lot of fun. There are some quality people here, without question.

 

Thank you all, again.

 

Here's the book:

Major congrats on an awsome book HV. But, I can't understand why Harry would have sold that book in the first place

As the new kid in this comic collecting,i must say it is one bee-youtiful book.

I say this a lot but i'm always stunned that this has gone all those decades looking the way it looks.

 

I keep staring at the font used for the title and i love it.

 

Above the word the in the Fantastic four ,there's a little word (ind )

 

What's that for ?

 

 

And would you look at those two nice big large....staples.

 

 

Felicitations for obtaning your grail !

Probably stands for Independent News, the distributor that handled Marvel at the time.
