About 25 years ago, a former boss of mine was moving out of town, and asked me to come look at his comics. He had mid grade, well read copies of ASM 154-295 (aprx) virtually complete. I told him what I thought they were worth, and he asked me if I wanted them. I said I couldn’t afford them now. He gave them to me. Wow. That’s a great story. I can’t imagine the feeling you felt when he gave them to you. KirbyJack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd still kinda like one but don't want to sink four figures into it. His run of annuals weren’t complete. For some reason they never held as much value to him.

Popular Post badback83 Posted February 19, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 19, 2022 **AMAZING Update** Tonight I was able to add the last piece of the puzzle. The biggest piece actually. I had to sacrifice a few things to make it happen (Now to find another FF 48). I’m good with it.

That has to be among the more subtle store stamps considering the whole address is included. It's that very thin font. Cool. If I lived anywhere near an old store stamp on my book, I would love to vist, check if it's still there, etc. But I only have one, and it's for a business in Murfreesboro, TN! Too far for me. badback83 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I own and have owned a lot of books with the Bonnett’s book store stamp from Dayton, I live fairly close. It’s really fun to see other board members post books with that stamp, knowing at some point in time, that particular book was “near” me.

I wasn’t expecting to land ASM 1, but it just kinda happened. I have a few that need upgrading. The 13 has color touch, so, I’d like to replace that one. Grade isn’t terribly important to me as much as no restoration. marvelmaniac 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
