So less than a good auction result for a #1 in 9.8, newsstand copy lately. B - E - A - UTIFUL. ID LOVE TO HAVE SOME 9.9'S I have yet to score any. I was eyeing some punisher vs wolverine from early 90's? But @nepatkm suggested a pass, as he saw some scans. I might should have gone for it regardless, cause I don't often search, and haven't really seen anything on books "I'd" find interesting.

They've gone crazy now, and I'm selling my first Gambit. Still holding onto Bishops first full appearance in 9.9. Though there's a 10.0 floating around...

He attended one of the only Conventions in the Denver area I've missed in the last 23 years. It was snowing pretty good that day. One of my comic regrets not meeting him and having a couple items signed. Patrick Agreed. I thought his version of Ghost Rider is one of the best too. nepatkm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAR1979 Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 (edited) Received my childhood Limited #1 copy back this week. As normal unpressed. Also my original 1987 #1 I sent to CGC about 18 years ago. Purchased 2 copies of #1 back then the other copy is now queued in Sarasota Not sure why but the Limited slabbed scan the right edge appears "bowed" while it's not a total straight cut the scan is not true to life - some odd refraction due to the case??? The pre-submission scan shows what it looks like in reality. . Anyhow it's the copy I purchased Oct 1985 in my youth and it ain't goin' nowhere As I recall the Limited series propelled The Punisher from a C or D level character to an A-lister who just a few years later would have 3 concurrent monthly series' Typical 80's Zeck cover; dude firing gun(s) with mouth hanging open There's even a Zeck Cap cover like that. It is classic though! Edited November 10, 2021 by MAR1979 mec3437, ADAMANTIUM, Microchip and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I've had pics that made the bowing feature in them, yet all the back covers look great in pics Possibly cause I'm excited and nervous getting a pic of the front?

I've always been a fan, and this limited series was always a 'grail' set from back in the day. It was such a high class production at the time, and went straight to the top of everyone's 'must have' list, and stayed there for there for over a decade. It's contempories have faded, GI Joe first issue was a similar over sized book, and hugely coveted back in the day.
