Boba Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 Just waiting on my books to arrive..... Let me guess, under shipping options, you picked tortoise Camel express, over 3 deserts was the box I checked. The truth is, waiting for a book to arrive has always been half the fun of collecting to me. I guess that's why I always was comfortable with mail order comic dealers back in the day, as opposed to only relying on LCS and conventions, where the books are usually pricier too.

Boba Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 Got my Showcase #34 7.5 OW/W last night - sweet copy, with lots of potential for a grade bump. But that'll likely be up to the next person to own it, hopefully a long ways in the future. So where's these books we've been hearing so much about Sam I am - has that Camel reached home port yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hepcat Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Nice books, Hepcat. One of my HA books is the issue 60 in a 9.6 from the Don/Maggie Thompson collection. Did they sell all their comics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 If you missed it Hep, there was a huge auction of their collection a few months back, but there's still a bunch left that Heritage seems to be releasing in Sunday auctions and I think some upcoming event auctions as well. Some books don't have a pedigree indicated on the slabs, I gather because they were added after the fact, no OO copies. Those are sweet Spectre Showcases! I remember when they were on the newsstands, those weird Anderson covers totally freaked me out That Red Devil is the bomb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam I am Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Boba is correct. They are slowly releasing them over this year's auctions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent 007 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 After looking for about 10 years. I have found a 9.2 or higher for sale and won it!!!! The highest grade I had was a 9.0. I've had many issues and different copies ranging from 4.0-9.0. Very content with the 9.2. Showcase 43. For a comic book collector and James Bond collector, I have both worlds with this book.
