KirbyJack Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Goes to show, images from 3 of the top Str.Tales PH collections, that St 83 ranks as one of the most difficult issues in HG. No 9.0, 9.2 or 9.4's on this one. Strangely, in my ratty PH collection, Strange Tales #83 is one of my better examples. A raw Fine/Fine +. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICK STARR Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 OK, let's try ST. # 73. Highest CGC grade is an 8.5 (owner please contact me for immediate purchase). Truly another very difficult issue to find in HG. My copy shows very nicely, but has a very light sub. crease along about 3/4 of the middle of the front cvr. has bone white pages. Still, nicest copy I have come across in 20 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny545 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 (edited) A solid Strange Tales 67 (need new scanner ughh): Edited July 6, 2013 by Johnny545 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirbyJack Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Now we're back to reality! My ST 78 looks like a cat was mad at it. And Johnny, nice books. I think Strange Tales 67 is an under-loved gem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny545 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Yeah ST 67 is under loved and tough to find in high grade in my opinion. I was thinking this was a 5.5-6.0 so was pleasantly surprised it graded a 6.5 Johnny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICK STARR Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Yeah, ST 67 is another beast to find in grade. Nice copy, Johnny. Bro' you definitely need another scanner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny545 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 (edited) I hear you Rick its a disaster. The scanner is brand new (recommended by others on the forum - Epson XP-600), but scanning slabs has been a challenge. I can't seem to figure it out.

TempusFugitivus Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Yes some more great specimans for our viewing pleasure here the last several pages... And always nice to see the latest HG book in Hoarder Saga's collection of course... I took stock of the HG census last in Jan 2012...seems to be a steady trickle of new HG copies rolling in...I'll have to update my spreadsheets and share here...will report back soon... Tom, I get the same impression. There seems to be a steady trickle of new HG copies. Be interesting to see that update. Never even realized that there were no high grade copies of Strange Tales 73 or 83. I've got nice copies that I figured someday I would improve upon. Didn't even realize that both were just one good press from the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
