That is a great book! I am really enjoying the ride here. My life is simple. I put together an easy run of Silver Surfer V1 in 8.0 or higher. Everything else is just SA/BA keys, and GA covers I like. Total hodgepodge. The SS run was easy (especially in 8.0 +), and still took some time just to find them all. It's crazy what you are attempting here. I once thought about trying to do X-Men 1-50, with 15-50 all in 9.0 +, and the best I could afford for 1-14. I was too lazy to even attempt that, and it is orders of magnitude easier than what you are doing. Again, keep going. I check this thread often for updates.

It took me 25 years but I was able to complete X-Men 1 CGC 8.5, 2-20 CGC 9.0, 21-66 CGC 9.4, then GSX #1 to 143 CGC 9.4/9.6. Patience is the key and constant scouring and selling other collectibles to grab books.

Yeah if you read a bunch of the replies after that post you’ll see a lot of discussion about that.

I saw that after the fact, I was going to bring up his past history as a restorer/over grader, but I saw that it was mentioned after the fact in the thread.

Oh yeah we all definitely got into all that in our discussion! He used to list the resto slightly more openly for people to see. He’s considerably more deceptive now!

Woooooof! that #1 is a dream man, Thats the fun part when I come across the ones i can afford, its either now or its gone for years lol. and thanks for the info on the 68! However I think the asking price is a bit too high.
