TheEyeSees Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Great shots Comicdonna! The thing that strikes me about your collection is the consistency in condition and eye appeal. You don't need high grade books to have an amazing collection (although it helps!). Well done!! Question: are you consistent with your PQ, or does that slide a bit?

G.A.tor Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Everyone: I thought I would update my group shot today. Last time, I tried to do it in one shot. This time, I thought I would splurge on film. I'm trying to focus on my #65 through #100 run but, as you all know, there are them books that you can't resist. There are many that I would like above #100. I am not responsible for the messy table. You can clearly see that I tried to cover it up with black velvet cloth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need high grade books to have an amazing collection (although it helps!). Well done!! Question: are you consistent with your PQ, or does that slide a bit? It's funny that you mention this. I was going to include it in my post. When I am going to purchase a book, I look for one that has nice eye-appeal in a grade that I can afford. I don't purhase books with a name on the cover. Initials or a date stamp is fine. Page quality is important to me. 3 of these books have white pages. However, there is at least 1 with cream to 0ff-white pages. I do appreciate all of the comments. These boards make collecting so much more fun. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicdonna Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 One more thing: I do prefer to purchase raw. Ayt least 24 of these books were in fact purchased raw. Sometimes a slab becomes available, and my control becomes weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have learned this from other board members, and it really makes for a nice collection. Congrats on a great selection of books!! Do you ever buy raw and then slab, or is it only slabbed books you are after? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it does please PM me and I'll make some kind of a swap/deal with you. I'd be glad to take them off your hands for you!!!

telerites Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Since I just added a couple of Heroic Comics (one thanks to Bill - ciorac), I am getting away from the Nedors for a bit to post this updated shot. Still need 5 more to complete a run of 1-15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still need 5 more to complete a run of 1-15. Really nice set, telerites! I'm working on a similar run myself, but not too assertively as I'm having great difficulty finding copies with decent paper.
