Hepcat Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 (edited) Great stuff! Adventure Comics #319 is a surprisingly difficult issue to find for a comic from 1964. I still don't have one and I'd really like to fill in my Legion of Super-Hero covers up to at least issue #330. The early Legion covers I still need are #247, 267, 287, 300, 307, 311, 312, 316, 317, 319, 320, 324 and 330 with #267, 311, 312, 316, 317 and 319 being the ones I want the most for nostalgic or aesthetic reasons.

Once again I'm not part of the crowd. My exposure to the Legion began in 1963. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hepcat Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 (edited) Were I rich beyond the dreams of avarice I might have done such a thing. I'm value conscious (particularly these days) and I'm more than reluctant to shell out for "highest graded CGC copy" or the like. Copies that might grade 8.5 - 9.2 but don't display the kind of defects I really hate, e.g. spine and staple wear. bad miscuts/miswraps, etc. are fine with me. I'm all about a nice spine, whiteness, brightness and overall eye appeal. The nicks and colour breaking stress lines that CGC heavily penalizes don't bother me as much.

You got plenty of my money that auction, just not for that book…iirc it sold for a lot of $$$. I think I picked up 5 or 6 of your books that’s auctions. BTW, that book is stunning! tth2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hepcat Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 (edited) Yes, it's stunning. Yet the man on the street would probably not be able to "see" the difference between that 9.6 and the 9.2 that Silver posted until it was pointed out to him. And then the proverbial prudent man would gasp and shake his head when it was pointed out to him that the 9.6 fetched $thousands and thus 5x to 10x the price of the 9.2. "Sure it's a nice comic" he'd say "I might even pay $10 for it." I'm somewhere between a rabid comic collector and the proverbial prudent man.
