mysterio Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Just average pages on this one, but it IS the variant price cover Cool books Frisco ! I like your taste. It seems like I see more of the Pricing Variant on the 76 than the regular edition. The census does not distinguish between the two so it's difficult to say. I feel like I see more of the variant too. Since it is on the label CGC ought to be able to add a slot for the variant in the pre-hero JIM set. I think it's time to make a request...

PovertyRow Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Hey Frisco. You made some nice choices for your foray into the SA Marvels. I feel the same about PQ. I'll take a lesser cover with nicer pages over vice versa. BTW - I am especially fond of those Strange Worlds. Such a difference between 2's classic sci-fi cover and 3's Kirby big monster.

jimjum12 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Thanks Jim! Amazing Adventures 3 & 4 continue to be elusive in high-grade for me. Here's the set in progress: -bc ...it's not just you......3 and 4 are tough......4 maybe the toughest. Now that #1, I still can't, for the life of me, figure out why a couple grand can still snag a VF on that book....... GOD BLESS.... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOD BLESS.... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u Agreed, both #3 and #4 are difficult. I'd like to upgrade from my 6.0 and 6.5, respectively, but you just never see them. #6 is no picnic either. Meanwhile, #2 is almost common above Fine (relatively speaking, of course). I love this run, as well as AAF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjum12 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 AA 6 is kind of a favorite......it's the issue where I realized, in my mind, that George Klein inked the first two issues of the Fantastic Four. It also happens to be the one that looks the best in high grade (IMHO).....I've never had one above Fine.

I did request a separate slot in the registry for the pricing variant, and Gemma came through! She said it would take about a week for the registry to update with the splitting of #76 into variant and non-variant, and then she can add the slot. So now we will get to see the ratio in the books that are graded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bc Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I'm not sure if these belong in this thread but they are Kirby and I thought you may enjoy seeing them..... My copies are rags to your riches Ditto. I think if you added the grades for my RK #22 and TGK #107 together you might get close to a 7.5. Great books that definitely belong in this thread! These books are totally amazing to me - never realized that there was a PHM-Western cross-over connection! Thanks for the continuing education credits! -bc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bc Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Not sure if others have seen this, but I found it interesting: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/ditkomania/conversations/topics/3314 It also got me looking into the Post-PHM legacy on the GCD: "I'm struck by the fact that TOS #54 (June 1964) was special for a reason previously unknown to me -- it carried the last Marvel (non-series) fantasy 5-pager of the early 1960s: "Skrang Strikes Tonight!" by Stan Lee, Larry Lieber & Ayers. The final non-series 5-pagers in the other anthologies came earlier: Strange Tales #113 (Oct. 1963; which had two fantasy back-ups including one by Lee & Ditko), Tales to Astonish #54 (April 1964) and Journey into Mystery #104 (May 1964). The end of an era!" So TOS54 appears to be the end of the line if you extend "PHM" and exclude the Tales of the Watcher/Wasp/Asgard stories. Sorry if I'm re-hashing something discussed pages ago, lost track of all the rabbit holes this single thread has taken me in this hobby! -bc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PovertyRow Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I wish I could get my scanner to stop putting that moire on gray and brown JJ - have you tried selecting Descreen in your scanner settings? If it is not readily apparent you may have to look for Advanced Settings. It takes longer to scan but can make a big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PovertyRow Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 If you are on;ly scanning from the printers touch panel, you should try using the HP software from your computer. When you choose Scan from there you should see an Advanced Settings to click on. Not sure if Descreen is offered though. DId a lot of searching but no direct answers.
