Korvac Saga Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Korvac, you have assembled an awesome set of these books. I'm amazed at how many high grade copies you've managed to bring together. Have you gotten any of the books from Comic Book World? Thank you Sir!! Most of the books have come from online auctions from the usual suspects. Whether they originated from CBW, I don't know. Is that where you obtained some of your celebrated collection? I also bought about 10 books raw from Marnin Rosenberg, some of which have been graded(TTA #18,#31, TOS#26, JIM#80) and some of which I'm waiting to get back from CGC.

DR.X Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 These pre-hero marvels have always been one on my favorites to collect and read. I have a pretty decent collection of them but I have to bow down here to Cheetah and Korvac for some unbelievable books. I'm amazed that copies of these issues can still come back 8.5 and 9.0. So many had the dreaded Marvel chipping and pre-chipping on them. Great books guys. DRX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korvac Saga Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Thank you gentlemen!! Of course your refined tastes suggest a singular sophistication and erudition far surpassing the low born rabble who congest these boards. Now would someone be kind enough to pass me a Spider-man + Batman comic to light my cigar + blow my nose with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
