JLA Brad Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Hey, I have one of these too! (although nowhere as nice as many others in this thread). I purchased it at a local comic shop back around 1989 for $50: B2D327 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatsby77 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 CGC knows. Here's a link to the # 2 Star Trek registry set (and highest-graded 100% set). Notes two variants for # 2 and one variant for # 3. None for # 1. https://comics.www.collectors-society.com/registry/comics/PeopleSetDetail.aspx?PeopleSetID=77389 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A seldom-seen 9.2 W sold for $10.2K on H tonight. I guess that sole 9.8 W on the census would go for much, much more in today's climate.

Hundreds of thousands of $ wouldn’t shock me for that sole 9.8 today. Sad for the aspiring collector, but this franchise is worthy of a sensational sale like that.

Sweet Lou 14 Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Hope nobody minds if I bump this thread for something that will veer slightly off-topic, but this was the best place I could find to ask the question. So, I decided to dip my toe in the waters of Dell/Gold Key key issues by purchasing this copy of Doctor Solar #1: Right now the closest thing I've got to a "want list" would be to pick up Magnus Robot Fighter #1, Star Trek #1, and Peanuts #1 ... although, in the latter case I'm wondering if I should try to pursue Four Color #878 in addition or instead. Which brings me to the point of this post, which is that I could really use an education on collecting these books. Although I do like Star Trek and I'm sure I will eventually get a copy of #1, what really drew me in was the editorial style -- the painted covers and the concise text captions that really make you want to see what's inside (which is of course why I won't buy anything but slabbed copies ). Is there anyone out there willing to suggest a (brief!) list of specific titles and issues I should target? I am a completist when it comes to my Marvel collection, but in this case I would like to be very selective and just pick out a few that are special. Thanks in advance! valiantman and Pantodude 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
namisgr Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 (edited) It's up to personal taste, Lou. I collected the first nine Star Trek issues for the photo covers, and the complete run of Dr. Solar, because the cover art was so cool, as were many of the sci-fi stories, and the issues were challenging to find in top condition. I also collected some of the cartoon comics that were favorites of mine as a kid, like Flintstones, Jetsons, Rocky and Bullwinkle, Road Runner, and the other Hanna-Barbera and Loony Tunes character books. Others love Magnus as a superhero-science fiction hybrid, and the Peanuts Tip Top and Four Color issues for the love of the comic strip.

If you're buying slabbed only then you can't go wrong with Turok and Mighty Samson - 1st 60 issues or so with Turok and Mighty Samson - the first 10 or so - some BEAUTIFUL painted covers by various artists. Space Ghost one shot is another good one. Go to GCD and check out the covers and see which ones you like. Sweet Lou 14 and B2D327 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Lou 14 Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 OK I decided to grab this one too. Keeping an eye out for a nice Star Trek #1 as well as Magnus and maybe Turok. hchill25 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
