Just Got Some Great News from CGC...

[Moondog]

I sent 4 Spidey's in for grading. I had high hopes - they were beautiful copies - but you know how one's hopes can be dashed so easily in this wonderful/frustrating hobby.

 

AS # 121 9.6

 

AS # 122 9.8

 

AS # 129 9.8

 

AS # 135 9.9

 

I was blown away by the 9.9...

 

In the immortal words of Bill Gaines, "HOOOO-HAAAAAH!"

I knew they were nice, but you never know. I was expecting at least 9.6 on all of them.

 

It's an interesting story on how I acquired them. A woman collected with her brother and father when she was a teen-ager. Her father passed away in 1986 and Spidey was his favorite title. When he died her mother sealed up all his comics, paperbacks, hardcovers, etc. and stored them away. This past March I was the first person to touch them in nearly 20 years.

 

All the Spidey's were bagged two to a bag. So 121 and 122 were in the same bag. They were probably never read and put directly in the bags when they were purchased.

 

It was a great collection and he had great taste. Flash, Spider-Man, Daredevil, Mystery in Space, FF, and X-Men were his favorites, but nothing graded as high as the Spidey's.

Are you planning on selling? If so, I'm sure there will be one or two interested parties...

Fantastic grades Moondog, you must be ecstatic !

 

I am guessing if you listed these books on Ebay tomorrow, you would end up with a total right around the $20k mark.

[g-man]

wow..only the second #122 in 9.8 and the #135 must be killer!!!
