They have a nice selection and the prices are damn good. And honestly even tho its green its still a steal at 150. last sale on a blue label was 850 so thats 700 off lol, worth!

flynavy807 Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 This is an incredibly ambitious goal. I wish you luck. My only run I went simple. Silver Surfer V1 at 8.0 or higher. Only missing issue 7, and this still took awhile even though it is orders of magnitude easier than what you have going. Impressive to even try. Good luck!

Its hard to say since the reason it just that its detached. As I said i consider this more of a printer defect since the staple isnt popped and the comic just came out that way. it def looks like it belongs in the 9.4 range.

Jaylam Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 I just did a quick rundown of the first 25 issues in the census and come up with the following info; there are no 9.0 copies of issues #2, 5 and 15 and in many cases, there are only one graded at 9.0 and they are the highest graded copies of those particular issues. Amazingly, there is a 9.8 copy of #19 (3rd Adam Strange) showing up if you can believe that. Good luck with you quest, and by the way, if you have that much $$$ to throw at this endeavor, would you mind paying off my mortgage?
