Boba Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 Cool! Maybe you can try knocking that person who's on top off - his set is obscured too - but I have a feeling he's got some big big books in it - look at that score! I was doing the registry thingy last year, trying to pump up my numbers - but I ran out of time for 2013's deal - now I'm tweaking the set so I obscured it again until I replace some undercopy's I've sold etc. I look forward to, as i am sure others will, seeing what you are putting together. Such a unique and amazing series, but I digress . . . Don't forget to post some of those scans here too! (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam I am Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Boba, I would be happy to be in the same realm as your set. I would have to win the powerball to get near the top 4. I will put up scans soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hepcat Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Here are scans of another couple of my favourites: I recall buying the #55 at the News Depot in downtown London in 1965 and bringing it to a YMCA boys' club meeting where comic mags were to be the subject of discussion. Fabulous cover! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam I am Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Those copies are really sharp. I love how you give the back story to purchase. Well, I got outbid on the 2 gorgeous Challengers of the Unknown books, but I got everything else I went after at Heritage these last 3 days. I'll post some pics when the books arrive. Definitely not telling the wife about these buys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boba Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 my set is not obscured come and get me! I'm out of the battle this year The 3 guys at the top seem to be in a real tussle for the top spot. The #1 is like double the next highest at #2. You're definitely making up some ground there Joey, I don't think I'm going to catch you any time soon. (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hepcat Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I love how you give the back story to purchase. They're back stories to my buying those comics for the first time though. Sadly those original purchases are almost invariably long gone. I set out in 1979 to reassemble the original comic collection I had as a kid, and I've now gone many steps beyond that. There are only a handful of comics I owned as a kid that I still don't have today. Still, I'll keep up the back stories! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam I am Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I picked up a few nice issues in the CLink Auction this week. Basically, UPS will be delivering my entire tax refund over the next few weeks as all of my buys this month start to head my way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boba Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 It was a great cover. In fact many of the early Atom covers are pretty amazing. Gil Kane had a real knack for drawing ominous-appearing, everyday objects used in unorthodox ways to imperil our tiny-titan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevenrams Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Here are the two Showcase books that I have in my collection: Great cover to launch the Atom's title! (thumbs u Yes, one of my favoirte covers of DC's SA. That book was in a collection I purchased way back in 1992. I enjoyed the reading the book for over 20 years until I had I submmitted it last summer; came back a CGC 8.0 with OW/W PQ. There were over 2000 books in that collection. I still have many of the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
