sfilosa Posted March 31, 2005 Author Share Posted March 31, 2005 You betcha. This Avengers #45 has been listed for some and I have been watching and watching until I finally couldn't take it anymore. I don't have any slabbed pedigree's at the moment so this should be a nice start. Congrats on your first slabbed pedigree. I should have the Pacific Coast copy of TOS #84 (CGC 9.4) when I arrive home today, thanks to a great board member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Zipper Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 The ugly and goofy Superman. That stuff is classic. 9.4/9.6? I wish! There's a little too much wear along the bottom edge and slight rounding to the LRFC. I'd say 8.5. The book presents very well because the spine is square and the centering perfect. I've really grown fond of the Superman Annuals and my next goal is to complete the run. I also have Annual #7 from the Green River Pedigree. Not as nice as the #3, but it has great QP as well.

Red Hook Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 And one of the tougher Avengers to get in highgrade, as far as I can see. This was on my radar screen for a long time too! Nice catch, SS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldust40 Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Brad, congratulations on your custom Forum title. It is richly deserved - in fact I can't think of anyone who deserves it more. Just one favor, though. Could you please ask the Mods to put a couple of gaps in your rather long title as it seems to be screwing up the formatting a wee bit. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also the reason why I'll be scrolling left and right on every thread you participate in until the Mods sort out a break or two in the name. Nuffin' personal, and I don't mean to bust your balls.

deathlok Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Sorry about how my scanner shows the warps on the CGC inner wells - as a consequence, I'll post just one of the Bowling Green ST that I picked up. The BG pedigree is a relatively lesser one, in that none of the earliest silver age keys seem to be represented in high grade. Nevertheless, from 1965 and thereafter, this pedigree contains the brightest, most intense and best color-preserved Marvels I have ever seen for this time period (disclaimer: I don't own any Curator books). Simply put, these books must be seen to be believed. A miniscule front cover LLC stress line and barely perceptible URC color break keep this one in the affordable range: I guess there were multiple copies of this issue.

namisgr Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I guess there were multiple copies of this issue. You are perceptive, DL. I, too, noticed that Warehouseauctions listed the OW/W copy a mere two weeks after I bought mine. The BG ST 140 may not even stop at two, for all we know.

pjthib Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Great book I've been trying to put together a pedigree run of Avengers and considered that one as well. It fell outside of the range I am trying to aquire so I held off to avoid additional run creep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Surfer Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Great book I've been trying to put together a pedigree run of Avengers and considered that one as well. It fell outside of the range I am trying to aquire so I held off to avoid additional run creep. Thank you. Actually I'm shocked that it lasted on the Link for what must have been at least 12 months. Pedigree or not I wanted this issue because of the great cover art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjthib Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 I remember reading that issue in Marvel Triple Action as well as another story with the adaptoid in Captain Marvel (also featuring the Avengers) during my 1st year reading comics.
