crimson dynamo Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 (edited) Those 2 just in: One of my favorite pre-hero covers of all-time. Love that Martian cover.

jimjum12 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 (edited) Not sure what a Portsmouth copy is but I like it: The Portsmouth collection is also known as the R.J. Long collection....about 2000 books from 1954-1964.....7.0 to 9.4....stored in hat boxes and apple crates by the original owner. Many had non color breaking curls and waves from storage conditions. It had a CGC 9.2 ASM # 1 that sold way back in one of Heritage's first auctions. The guy walked into my friend's store with a couple of apple boxes full of mostly westerns. He told him he had quite a few more and my buddy agreed to look at them. Most of the Marvel keys were there as well as many of the D.C.'s. Real nice books....I had about 10 of the monster books at one time...but traded or sold them. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u Edited August 10, 2010 by jimjum12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a beautiful copy and I have the certificate from Amazing Fantasy comics. The unfortunate thing is that when I submitted the book for grading CGC did not recognize it as a pedigree.

Silver Surfer Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Jimbo thanks for that. I remember your RJ Long copies and they made me drool. (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjum12 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 The ones that I miss the most are probably the MIS 75 that would've pressed into a 9.6, and TTA 31 and JIM 78....both probably 9.0. Those books from that collection usually have amazing gloss. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Surfer Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I just had to buy this book. Not sure I will keep it long term as GA is still my first love but I figure this would be a good buy and hold plus I've never owned a copy before.

Korvac Saga Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Rich, Thanks for putting up the favorite cover contest on monster books. The one thing I learned is that nobody likes the covers I like. Andrew, Glad you're participating in + enjoying the contest. Its been alot of fun for me as well. Instead of being upset that the popular vote doesn't match your personal favorites, I'd rejoice + revel in it. Those covers are YOUR covers + what speaks to you + your esthetic. Its like having a favorite band that is relatively unknown or TV show. Eff the validation of popularity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
