KirbyJack Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I don't have scans, but my biggest gets have been. Strange Worlds #2 Tales To Astonish #3 and #8 and getting my Tales Of Suspense run finished with numbers 2,9, and 29! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronty Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Great books Art Love the thread idea. Since I've only been collecting prehero for a year I guess I will just post my five faves later. Thanks to everyone who has sold me books as well, including korvac, mysterio, and marvel_runs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Bronze age fan* Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 So the thread about best acqusitions of 2012 gave me the idea to see what the denizens of the pre-hero thread thought were your best 5 pickups of the year (they are doing 3 in CG, that is too limiting). Mine were (in loose order): I narrowed my collecting focus during 2012 and pre-hero is more of a primary emphasis now, so I was fortunate to pick up some great books this year (I could have snuck a couple more into this list). Bronty certainly deserves a shout-out for hooking me up with an upgrade to my AA #2, and BAF has helped fuel my addiction to these books by buying a couple of my undercopies. This is one of my favorite threads to hang out in and contribute to, and I appreciate all my fellow pre-hero bretheren. Thanks again for another great year! So let's see your favorites from 2012! Glad I could help you out! That Strange Tales #1 is really cool! Presnts nice for the grade too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvel_runs Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I plan to post, maybe in a few weeks when things slow down and I can scan things in. I picked up ST #76 & a solid raw mid-grade ST #46 - both top books on my want list this year. Not sure what my others would be... Glad to help you guys build your collections. Also thankful for some trades and purchases from boardies that benefited mine. marvel_runs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronty Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 couple wins last night - for some reason I can't put my finger on (morbid novelty?) I thought it would be fun to own a Cage prehero or two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlasFan Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 That's interesting. I didnt think the Nickster collected anything but Golden Age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronty Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 surprised me at first too but there have been Cage preheros for sale in all the recent auctions. He appears to have had pretty extensive hg runs of prehero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronty Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I just noticed my JIM 79 8.5 is worth more than my JIM 63 8.5 in the registry WTF are they thinking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Surfer Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 The #63 is awesome. I would have been all over it but the timing of this auction just sucks for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamstrange Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 That's interesting. I didnt think the Nickster collected anything but Golden Age. He also collected pre-code horror. His collection was quite extensive, starting but not ending, with GA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Bronze age fan* Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 I want to know which one of you guys just outbid me on TOS 17!! (Evil Eye!!) In all seriousness congrats to the new owner. Yep. I feel the same way about the TOS #1. Now I am just waiting to see if someone here posts it. I should have bid more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICK STARR Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 I took a stab at the TOS 17, too. I had to pass on it so I could compete for other books. Lots of interest in that book. Picked up one Cage book, TOS 24 (8.5). How about the JIM #1 (6.5), almost $7K!!!!? A very healthy selection of nice PH's to fill in those gaps in one's PH collection.
