I purchased 50 copies from him (two complete sets) and had Herb Trimpe sign 1-24 for me. I got many 9.8’s out of both batches Earl was selling them for $1 each. And I bought some of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked for Godzilla at every single dealer I stopped by over four days at NYCC. Only one had more than at most a handful of issues, and those copies were mostly mid grade fillers. Most had none at all. No, I don’t ever look for 9.8 candidates only. I do look for VF or better. I’m sure eBay will provide many issues I’m looking for , but I like to get them here or there at shows. I have #1-12 , and those are the issues I mainly see when a dealer does happen to have any at all. Did you look in the $1 and $2 and $3 boxes? That's where I would look for them speedcake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I said was I looked for it at NYCC, a single show, and found one dealer who bothered to bring the run. I'm certainly not getting involved in some omgosh 9.8 only rawr! tit for tat over this. I do not care about it that much. Were js comics or zapp there? I would expect to find some decent copies in their $2 or $5 boxes. Although I have now missed the last 2 nycc.

That's where I would look for them I did look through quite a few of these types of boxes, but obviously not all of them. If they were at least somewhat organized alphabetically I hit those for sure. I dug through Zapp's boxes and didn't find any of the second half of the run that I need, I'll find them in the condition I want eventually, but they've been good at hiding lately.

Honestly, I had never paid attention to the run and probably passed on nice copies in cheap boxes while acquiring My 15th copy of asm 172. My mistake.

speedcake Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 yeah I dunno. Not like I can't just buy #13 - 24 at several online shops, but digging them out of boxes at shows this year hasn't worked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedcake Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 (edited) Of course I say that, and then I go look and I've only found one dealer so far that has the full run available in high grade. can't even get the whole run at mycomicship in any grade.

Isn't J&S comics in Neptune nj and JC in Plainfield? But now I can't remember who always has a big nycc set up. 2 middle aged guys, one dude is pretty intense and other dude is a pharmacist or podiatrist or something? In any event you'd probably be more likely to have a high grade copy of a Godzilla book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To my knowledge, JS never exhibits there. Godzillas aren't in the bargain boxes anymore unless low to mid-grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
