Glad for the rivals and transformers, modern section spiked a bit because of them.

2 detailed commissions, way to go on the artgerm! Curious why no sketch covers if just for cgc? It's hard for me not to sound like a loyalist to cgc with the question, as OA is a much older market, that I'm just not in tune enough with lol and or especially when it comes to authentication. Like there is such a big deal made over raw sigs, but not over the art itslef for sketches, which always left me thinking too much lol

Congrats! Look forward to the slabs! Was there on-site grading?

Never really got into Sketch covers. Thanks bud! no on-site grading. Actually CGC stopped doing on-site grading at ECC, Baltimore Comic-Con and megacon :-(

Just added Airboy Vol 9, No 3 (1952) to my collection of original Heap covers. I have the Heap's 1st appearance and 1st solo issue (the Heap is not on those covers) but displayed just my Heap covers in the second photo - one more Heap cover and my set will be complete!

I never knew the Heap was an ongoing series until after I joined the boards. My introduction was a story in a MAD paperback with the reprints that I picked up regularly as a kid so I always thought the character was a one-shot spoof. Those look great btw

My dad told me about the Heap when I was a kid so he must have seen these comics at the candy store he visited as a kid as he also collected comics but in the early 1950s. I never saw any issues until about six years ago when I really started to research the covers to try and collect them - there are not that many copies around!

Answer to prayer, glad you had fun, some special stuff that I thought of specifically when you asked for hope lol

Maybe it was the sigline or something. Funny how that works. Hope you came away happy.
