New to the comic world but think I'm going to get a few graded before deciding what to do with them.

Yeah, don't do anything until you're up to speed on the market.

Some that I found in my father's attic that he collected as a kid.

Wow! What a find!

Nice.  Who did you buy the 16 from?  I was looking for a 16 at that show.  

I wanna say Comic Den or something, he had a booth across from ours and I saw them on the wall, I finally walked over and had a look at them and said screw it, I need more ASMs. I also got an 11 but it only came back a 3.5.  Keeping the 5 and 16 though for now.

Pretty happy with this one, just upgraded from my 8.0!

You've been posting some nice books lately, Teach. Good stuff

I’m down to needing 3 books for 1 thru 400.  Here’s a few recent pickups.  (Mostly from the boards.)

Sadly this issue begins my year of subscription copies. Still bright and fresh as a daisy.

One of THE very best JR covers and I think that copy of yours may be the best condition I’ve seen one in. Beautiful.

Trying to get a house finished and sold has kept me too busy to get on here much, BUT a guy needs to eat lunch, so maybe I can throw a few recent purchases up to show that I'm still alive!  Being FROM Minnesota, I'm thrilled to add THIS copy to the boxes!

[Frisco Larson]

Another smoker recent add. The Spider is my favorite!

Ok, I want y'all to come along with me on this one. Some of you KNOW that I've been bitten by the La Prensa bug and REALLY enjoy adding those copies to my collection! Well, THIS book floored me, and I just love staring at it!  I LOVE how they kept the webby logo from Amazing Spider-Man #1!!! La Prensa looks to have gotten the rights to publish Amazing Spider-Man early on, as this was published the same month Marvel published AS #3. Marvel was still publishing Spidey bi-monthly then, but La Prensa was putting the title out every month, so they caught up quick! These copies aren't "REPRINTS" as some THINK they are. They were the first published issues of Amazing Spider-Man in Mexico and were quickly published congruently with Marvels. I really love this book, paid a lot for it, and I hope some of you enjoy it as much as I do! It's the only graded copy! In fact, it's the only one I recall ever seeing. I'm SURE there are more out there, but don't know of any for sale.
