Glad to see it go to a fellow boardie PH afficianado!! Thanks! But not sure if it's "afficianado" or "suffering Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder" at this point with these PHM books So many others in this thread deserve recognition for articulating the history of this genre for over a decade. I'm just along for the ride ! -bc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Bronze age fan* Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Such a tough, tough book to find in grade..... congrats to whomever just snagged the Amazing Adventures 3 on Clink..... GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) Thank you jimbo! Been waiting for tonight since I first saw it hit the listing a few months ago. Once I get it, I'll post a group shot of the AA 1-6 mini-run in 8.0+. -bc ps-bought a lot of comics in auctions but the adrenaline is still pumping after this one. Nice copy! That was the last comic that I needed and bought when I completed the 20 years of Marvel (1/60 to 12/79). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great pickup, I'm glad one of the PH BSDs here got it! It is a ridiculous copy of a very difficult book. I've been trying to upgrade from a CGC 6.0 for years.

mysterio Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Picked these up in last night's Clink action. Compared to the STs the JIMs seemed quite reasonably priced, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bc Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Picked these up in last night's Clink action. Compared to the STs the JIMs seemed quite reasonably priced, IMHO. Really nice detail on the cover of the 34 (down to the pattern on the woman's dress). Putting those two books next to each other really clarifies the change in just 30 issues. Not putting down the Kirby/Ayers cover at all. While the characters don't have the detail, the background building perspective in grey-tone really draws the eye to Rorgg and his victims. Gratz on the additions! -bc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bc Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Keeping with the JIM theme from the Feb CLink auction...my second White Mountain of the series: Think someone already mentioned this, but like the AA3 and the other JIM offerings, this one went for much less than anticipated while the Strange Tales 94 & 96 held in the expected hammer range. -bc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimjum12 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 This is slightly off topic, but I recently picked up a trade PB reprint volume that collects the late 50's Race For The Moon 3 issue run. Many of the stories have art that features pencils by Jack Kirby and inks by Al Williamson.... a very interesting combination. The publishing company has other neat volumes as well and is owned and operated by board member Shrevvy. The website is www.CantonStreetPress.com and may be of interest. The Race For The Moon volume has some of my very favorite Kirby stories ever..... many in the same vein as the PHM stuff...... and at 20 bucks or so, it's a great value.

DR.X Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 that #94 is amazing. you just don't see that book to often in high grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber-Bob Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I'm starting to sense the high grade PHM are coming out lately. It used to be a 6.0 was a respectable grade and an 8.0 an uber high grade. I'm seeing some awesome stuff come to market in 9.0+ with prices to match. Personally, I have mixed emotions about this.

jimjum12 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I don't think they'll ever be common in grade...... but I miss the days when a sharp Fine plus could be had for 50 bucks....... GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) Not common across the Board but individually some will be 'common'. Examples... TOS 28 has four copies in 9.4, two in 9.2, and 3 in 9.0 . My 7.0, previously a decent grade, now has 27 copies graded higher. TOS 38 has 2 copies in 9.6, 3 in 9.4, 3 in 9.2, and 5 in 9.0 . My 8.0, again a decent grade, now has 10 in grade and 22 graded higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
