Very cool. Thanks! You're spot on correct about that! I don't even collect this run, but when I see books in this high of grade and can actually afford them, I try to lock a few down. Both of those are actually tied for highest graded. Going down that particular rabbit hole will definitely require restraint on my part, as Atlas produced a TON of horror titles! Prices will usually keep me in line though. bc and Jasonmorris1000000 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My eyesight sucks, but is the JIUW 57 a Circle 8 ped ? ... I especially like those as CGC no longer acknowledges the pedigree, although they are usually real sweet.

GOD BLESS..... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) You're eyes were right on the money this time Jimbo, as yup, it's a Circle 8 copy! I just checked and CGC DOES acknowledge the Circle 8 collection as a pedigree. This is what it says about the collection in the pedigree area: Circle 8 In 1992 this massive collection of 100,000 comics was discovered in a barn in Tuscon, Arizona by Greg Buls and Howard Harris. It was assembled through a used bookstore between 1955 and 1972 who discounted unsold comic books by writing a grease pencil "8" inside a circle, indicating a discount of 2 cents off the original 10 cent cover price. This practice continued as cover prices increased to 12 cents (with a grease pencil "10" written as the discount), 15 cents, and 20 cents, with an estimated 50% of the collection exhibiting the written discount. Of note, many of the highest graded horror and science fiction Atlas comics from the '50s hail from this pedigree. jimjum12, frozentundraguy and bc 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you have a mini-run going (56 & 57), I'd say dive down that rabbit hole! -bc Frisco Larson, Jasonmorris1000000 and frozentundraguy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonmorris1000000 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I got nervous today. I had 3 graded copies of Strange Tales #89 on my eBay watch list. The cheapest one sold and then the other two started getting a ton of views. As a result, I panicked and bought one. Whew. Is there something going on with Fin Fang Foom that I don’t know about?

Popular Post Jasonmorris1000000 Posted February 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 18, 2021 I now have a run of Strange Tales from #67-168 except for...... #110. Obviously I'm itching to get one so I'm going to sell my Amazing Spider-Man #129 when it gets back from CGC to raise money. In an ideal world I'd like to keep both but I always liked Dr. Strange better than the Punisher. Anyway I'm going to post one ST cover a day until I get to #109. I'm hoping that will keep me focused on saving for #110 and not to spend the money on something else. bc, Frisco Larson, frozentundraguy and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasonmorris1000000 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I also sent in my Werewolf by Night #32 (1st Moon Knight) to get graded. The plan was to sell that one too for the Dr Strange, but I'm having second thoughts. I've loved Moon Knight since I was 7 years old and the new TV show might be great. However comic prices are freaking me out lately and I don't want to miss out. What do you all think? Trade Bronze for Silver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
