I thought we were sincere in our comparisons to the first post. Some of these are truly debatable and you can tell by the results. Idk beats a thread composed for each sometimes? Or in the case of the Nintendo Power a "new market" that I thought was interesting. Plenty of my own that I've often wondered about and was curious because as most would say, 'why send those in?" Especially the Neal Adams sketches, which was on both books and is hard to see on the two face cover. It was an honest attempt to get a third parties perspective. It is why I tried to preface most of my posts, so it wasnt all as vain glorious as you simplified.

If it comes off that way, it's a Debbie Downer for sure. I still respect your honey mooners @MAR1979 as I believe I liked the one THAT YOU had submitted, if memory serves. Anyway.

 

I like how this one is playing out.

Some of those, or that one, and specifically the Tomb of Dracula with Marvel Spotlight werewolf 2?  @grendelbo

I liked the one I don't own yet, but like a lot! Those May have missed the boat now. It will be nice to see if when voting the other way, if one still wins out. Hopefully proving which could be preferred

Not a landslide anyway

Spoiler

The werewolf by night #1 and the Marvel Spotlight #2, in the early days when back to collecting, was really had to tell the difference between the covers.

Hopefully I'm not the only one ha! And I was still discovering what a picture frame was and etc. You can tell I didn't grow up around too many comic collectors as a kid. It was mostly music, bicycles, and or sports and gals....

Neither self-submitted.

Note the Double cover on #2.  Both purchased same day raw from Motor City Comics in 1998 for a sawbuck ($10USD) each... those were the days

Both purchased when new at my LCS, submitted at same time.  I lean towards #8, but man don't know I could really ever decide.

IMHO the ASM is definitely under-graded by .2 by today's standards! The Punisher is possibly over-graded by .2. Both purchased when new from my LCS when i was a kid.

Nice! @MAR1979 I remember pulling the 1st green team out of the dollar bins, early on for me when back in circa 2016. They're still around and saw a slabbed copy at my LCS just last week!

I'm not too much a collector or similar type macrabe writing, if it can be a toss up i have acquired some reader type slab copies

Tough one. I have both. I had to think, were I to give up one, which would it be? I chose "to keep" #37.(But I'm keeping my HoS 92.)

Definitely! Of those choices in past post, I chose the swamp thing in savage tales, as decapitation covers are more scarce, but speaking of which here are two:

Like left,  thanks right!
