That there was a smart swap in my book.

Does anyone have a high-grade Astonishing 32? (AS?) If so I would love to see it, nothing on HA or anywhere I can find and nothing on the census above 6.5...

 

I only have a VGF copy.

 

I have none, but will look for one -- terrific cover and examples, Johnny and Rick!

Thank you, thank you, it is the linchpin of the Marvel Tales run I am trying to complete.

i had that run complete a few years ago, and enjoyed it very much. it wasn't in grade like your beautiful books, tho'.

[Johnny545]

Thanks very much.

 

67 tough issues to be sure. I have knocked on a lot of doors harassed many a board member (sorry about that guys), sold, traded, swapped etc. to get a good way through it.

 

I started with a goal of 7.0 or higher as an average grade. I don't think I am going to make it, but it will be close and I will continue to upgrade when possible.

 

I have found every issue to be exceedingly difficult to find in high grade (thats the world of an Atlas collector), but interestingly I have found many of the post code issues to be more difficult than pre-code.

 

I am curious if you found this to be the case when you put your run together? I am also curious what books were the most difficult for you to locate.

Ain't she pretty?

 

[originalisbest]

Yes, she is!

Here's an Atlas not posted in a long while.

 

[KirbyJack]

That's a great issue!

I waited too long and picked up my copy after midnight!

 

[Sarg]

Is this real? Were they really doing variant covers like this?
