I hope this thread doesn't come across as being egotist.  Earlier this year, I finished a nearly 20 year collecting goal.  I set about to complete all the titles of America's Best Comics, Black Terror. Exciting Comics, Fighting Yank, Startling Comics, Thrilling Comics, and Wonder Comics.  After the long pursuit, I found the last book I needed (actually I found two coverless copies and a complete albeit restored copy but it was enough for me to finish).  All books are CGCed.   Not an overly high grade collection but some are nice, some lower grade, many mid-graders, some PLODS and even some peds scattered about as well. 

Hidden minor agenda with this thread - I have been on the boards for over 10 years and am not an overly abundant poster but gosh darned it, I would like to move up from Total Newbie to Seasoned Veteran :cry:

So going to start with America's Best Comics and post as I am able to.  If anyone thinks this is a socially crappy faux pas, let me know and I cut it off.  If not, thanks for allowing me to share some of my collection. :foryou:

The America's Best Comics run contains a high saturation of Davis Crippen pedigree copies as you'll see here - maybe not a highly regarded ped but still nice for me.  

To start with, two copies of #1.  I think I bought the 5.0 from Mark Zaid, the other was a raw that had graded.

Neato. I hope you were able to snag most of the bust out books before they went into the stratosphere.

For me, they were all expensive lol but some yes, I paid high money for my Startling 49 but nothing like what it would be now and I have a nice 6.0 (bought raw) of Exciting 39 that I couldn't even touch now.
