Ever hear of Mister Magik Woo?

[Davenport]

My philosophy is, if I'm a guest at someone's house and they ask me not to take a mess on their lawn, I don't urinate in their bushes.

My philosophy is quit your damn whining.

If feels more like being a guest in someone's house who's heartbroken ex asks everyone to never ever speak his name again. Completely understandable, but still a bit nutty.

[MrBedrock]

BTW, my guess is that Mr Woo's real first name is Larry.

Here's a thread with Mr Woo's books: Vancouver Comic Show August 17/14

"Featuring the Pedigree Collection of Mr Magik Woo. One of the finest quality vintage comic collections on the planet. Available to the public for the first time in over 2 decades!"

 

 

Some of Woo's hi-grade comics/scans:

 

 

Thanks for posting that. The books also include some golden age comics because there was a suspense 3 9.0

 

 

Quite an amazing collection. I wonder who will end up auctioning them...

 

Saw that one in the flesh - so cool to see truly rare books in such high grades. All of his uber HG stuff are all stored in the bank. Magik Woo is also a great guy to chat with and a very passionate comic book collector.

If you had bushes, I'd urinate in them on principal

I was wondering why the fake name. Since most other collections are attributed to the owner's true name, there must be something behind it.

...wouldn't it more likely be Illyana?

He was an entertainer and it was his stage name. He may have changed it legally by now even though he's retired.

Good for him. Surprised to see them up for sale though as he always said he wanted to continue to keep and had mentioned the suspense 3 in particular was promised to someone in his will. Interesting

9.8 ASM 14

 

 

Gorgeous copy of one of my favorite books.

 

Still wondering if that's a softly graded 9.8 or not?

 

Hard to tell from the scan but that upper left corner looks blunted slightly. If so, does this mean the other guys are softly grading SA books?

 

Looks like a gift grade to me, which is disappointing.

[Mark 1]

It's hard to tell...the scan isn't that clear on my phone. There is a tiny white speck there which could be some wear.

 

I'm not sure if it's over graded but it sure is one of the nicest copies I've ever seen of ASM 14

 

[Bronty]

I don't think that's a gift grade. Looks incredible in all other respects. A 9.8 is not a 10

9.0 white Suspense 3

Yeah I think it's just a tweener . On this screen it looks too nice for 9.6 but not perfect enough to be a killer 9.8

[Mark 1]

I think you are right Bronty. I'm not great with determining grades in 9.6-9.8

Ah, sorry...thought someone had seen it in person.

Well, there are already a few guys saying the book is over graded.

I dunno.

 

The focus in this thread is on a new-to-the-market collection. The only graded book shown was done so in a discrete manner (I think) and unless it was mentioned, I wouldn't have paid attention to the fact that the book wasn't encapsulated by CGC.

 

I don't think it will get to the point that collections can't be talked about if some of the books are graded by another company, unless members subvert the thread by pushing the boundaries in order to promote an agenda (such as: Look, CGC is censoring the forums again! Poor us! We didn't do anything wrong!)

 

I don't see why grades can't be discussed if the focus is on the book, not the plastic.
