You mean to tell me you once had probably some 600 copies of Silver Surfer 1?  The original one from 1968?  Good lord!

No. A Diamond 200 ct box probably had 50-60 raw and I had 45+ slabs. So did have over a 100, but not sure how 600 was arrived at

Just love this cover

i remember my LCS had a bunch of these for sale at $5.00 each back in 1975, they were so common i never bought one though (actually $5 was a lot of money back then for a 14 year old teen, i only made $10 a week on my paper route

Ooo.  I misread and interpreted it as two CGC boxes AND two Diamond 200 ct boxes.  Naturally I assumed each Diamond 200 ct box held 200 books, so right there I was up to 400.  And I thought the CGC boxes were like the plastic ones used for storage which I assumed could hold 100 raw books as needed.

Bought a Cents copy to go with my Pence copy, went to put it away and found 2 cents copies already there

Yep, that and Capt America #100. Bought a bunch of those. And I remember buying a few FF48s, too. All long gone.

the 200 ct boxes will hold 200 modern books, but you have to lay the silver age 90 degrees other direction...and they are 3-5x as thick, so only about 50 safely fit...and the cgc boxes were slabbed

I always loved the cover and thought it was underpriced for a long time, for a first issue for a long-running series. I had been up to seven, now I’m down to three. Used some in stacks of books that were traded for tougher books. I have a full Iron Man run, so I can’t go to zero unless/until I’m letting the whole run go. I would like to read it end to end first. (I started assembling it off the racks with #76, then backfilled. But I’d like to reread it in order, a few a day, in as compressed a time frame as possible.)

Since posting this, the undercopy is now gone. But there’s an All Star #33 in the PC.

Here’s a quick group photo of some Razor Annual 1s I had readily available. Still have 2-3 more copies floating around in different locations

I was sorting my slabs and ran across lots of multiples, the biggest one being ASM 252. I sold two 9.6 news stand copies this week and this is what is left. All of these are crack and resubs - bumped up the grade every time but never managed to hit a 9.8.

I was one to speculate when I returned to collecting in the mid/late 80's. I ordered these thinking $$$, bagged/boarded/boxed them, and mocked them and their kind with everyone else over the years. I figured it was time I at least scan them, and let them breath fresh air for the first time since then.

I started picking these up a few years ago.  Nothing high grade though.

Also had some of these to send in for grading.

Tough to find 1st, 2nd, and 3rd printings.

Some old Archies.

Was sorting some short boxes the other day and snapped this pic for the thread. I've got more I can do once I get to them.
