Johnny G Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Starting to scan the "haul" from the last 6 weeks in Toronto and Montreal Here's a very sweet (IMHO) GS X-Men #1 Next up is what I believe to be a harder to find book in grade. A Star Spngled Comics #128... DARK COVER! Here's one I picked up for a friend here on the boards... LOADS more to come! Just getting started unpacking. Had a great time with no health issues for the whole time... Typical; I go and get a pretty bad cold/flu the last couple days and am JUST getting over it!

Johnny G Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Very cool stuff Johnny, really like that MARS Patrol. Glad to hear your feeling well. Thanks my man Ya the MARS book is pretty cool... Not super HG, but a decent book. The back cover is a "pin-up" of the front. Bought it for a friend who collects the 'chute covers. Ya, health has been good (touch wood!!!). I guess I caught the "family cold" that was going around at the house. Plus, big shows, handling money and all, easily get sick. Especially seeing as how I take immune suppressant drugs for my arthritis BUT, I am glad it's just a lousy flu and not the heart issues that I've had to deal with over the last year! Again, thanks! ~JG (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the scan it looks like an 8.5/9.0 (thumbs u Well, I guess the scan doesn't do it justice at all! In hand, it's a hands down 9.4 (so about 6-8 of us agree on) Good shot at a higher grade with a wee tender loving care VERY pleased with the book.

Like I said, a group of us (some w/20+ years in biz) all agree that it's an easy 9.4 w/o a press! Plus, was offered $1k for it by a dealer who only deals in HG books... So, you KNOW he wouldn't offer unless he knew would do well... right? At least that's what IO believe and pretty sure I am spot on with this one.

Johnny G Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Last one for tonight: A cool Flying Saucer cover/story (thumbs u BTW - all these come from an OO (except the GSX) and have absolutely NO resto, or anything else done to them. Some, "may" receive a little TLC in the form of non-restorative measures. We'll see... Thanks for the comments! Ciao for now ~JG (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny G Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Okay, ONLY because someone asked! Shock SuspenStories #14... I personally love and collect all things; Senate hearings related, SOTI books and Drug/Alcohol stories. This particular Wally Wood book was used in the Senate Hearings which brought about the "Comics Code Authority". I am "guessing" it has to do with the KKK story in it That's all for tonight folks!
