If only Moomba had been a yoga instructor, instead of being intent on world domination. MOOMBA's favorite dance is, what else, ...the Momba!

marvel_runs Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Great book, when you posted yours I did a double take and had to go back and check to make sure I still had my copy. It has the same pq and everything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtleboy23 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Strange. Same pq and grade as the one in the upcoming clink auction. maybe they are brothers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber-Bob Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Man that is frickin' sweet!! Didn't Monstrollo have his own candy bar once? Bob, did you have a copy graded or bought it already graded? Freshly graded in Chicago last weekend. I picked this up raw from Ted VanLiew (Superworld) at C2E2 in Chicago last April. For the sake of disclosure it was pressed onsite by Joey. It is staying in my personal collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mysterio Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 (edited) I already posted these in the thread in General but couldn't resist the double post because I am still . These two have always been nemesis books for me. I once owned a G/VG reader of #9 but sold it like an insufficiently_thoughtful_person in the early days of eBay when I had given up on pursuing the AA/AAF run because it was just too tough when all I had was one show a year to attend and no real budget to spend. I haven't ever owned a copy of #13, and IMO it may be the best cover of the entire SA and could compete for the overall title. (Plus I may as well get these in before all the other pre-hero beauties close tomorrow!) In case you are wondering (as was I), that white spot in the black area of the dock on the #13 is not actually on the book. I called for notes and it is not mentioned so I am guessing something stuck to the slab for the scan. Edited August 24, 2011 by mysterio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjum12 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Those 2 AAF's were hammered by CGC.....I'd be thrilled to have either as 8.0's.....great snag. As far as Ted goes.....doesn't list a grade on the book itself...but you can find his grade if you go to his website. I picked up a JIM 56 at the Baltimore show with water damage on the right edge but otherwise a BEAUTIFUL book. My friend may be getting it from me for 150. It has a cool Kirby story I'd never seen. I don't know what it would grade as. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamstrange Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Fabulous books, mysterio! Those are my two favorite covers of the title and I commented to a friend that had sold for very reasonable prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So any other winners or losers on the nice batch of pre-hero last night that would like to share? I was top underbidder on a few of the TOS books that I thought I would have no shot at. I didn't really have the money to spend but thought that I would figure something out if the bids came in, and then some were so close I started sweating on the one hand and getting excited on the other. Oh to have an unlimited budget when a choice auction like that rolls around! Still, I can't complain one bit about what I did win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
