Hi everyone, been lurking about a week now and finally decided to join. Been collecting for about a year and a half, nothing too major but I do have a Secret Wars #8 in CGC-graded 9.8, a Spectacular Spiderman (1976 series) in a CGC 9.6 and an Uncanny X-men #108 (first byrne/claremont teamup) in 9.6. Those are pretty much my gems so far.

 

Don't flame me too bad guys, i'm still learning wink.gif

Welcome to the boards! smile.gif

 

Don't worry about Comiclink. As others have said, very reputable.

 

We won't flame you (unless you get outta line devil.gif). Enjoy the boards. Lots of information on these forums. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Chances are that one of us will be able to help you out no matter what the question. thumbsup2.gif

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome!

 

Based solely on your good reviews of comiclink.com I have just gone and ordered WESTERN FIGHTERS #41 / CGC 6.5 FN+ Edgar Church (Mile High) Copy.

 

I will share with everyone when it arrives (via ground shipping...grrrr)

 

Since I don't have a scanner do you think a photo will work as well? I do have an excellent digicam but the cgc holders might reflect.....anyone done this and it turned out ok?

Try it and see. One thing you can try is to put a handkerchief or similar thin white cloth opver the flash. Take a few exposures and overexpose them gradually. I have found that the cloth over the flash really reduces reflections and once you get the amount to overexpose to compensate for less light you should be ok!

What you collect sucks. What *I* collect is cool! flamed.gif
