If I got an FF 18 as pretty as that, I'd have to call out sick for a couple of days. GOD BLESS ...

I just managed to snag a FF Annual #6 ... finally.  As a kid, I always loved Franklin.

I believe I am familiar with that one.

lol.  I've wanted to replace a couple of stolen copies from about 20 or so years ago, but I quit collecting and just really got back into it seriously around 2019.  By that time, I was collecting moderns which I then gave up quickly in favor of collecting the stuff I loved as a kid which was more Bronze Age stuff.  I tried getting fairly good grades of FF Annual #6 since then, but by that time the price had shot up to where I thought it wasn't worth it.  Even now, after/during the price correction, I think I probably paid too much, but wth -- at least I can cross it off my list and go back to looking for other stuff. With the way prices are going, I'll probably wait for the rest of SA and BA stuff to hit dollar bins to collect them again. lol.

That’s a keeper!

It all started with a book cover dated November.

When I'm bored....it costs me...I decided I needed not only 1-100 raw...but also the highest grade CGCs available and affordable at the times I find them. Just added these 2! 

[KirbyJack]

Gorgeous copies, and a noble pursuit!

And while 100 is a great number, my specific species of OCD compels me to remind you that the Kirby run extends to 102; annuals 1-6; and half of the interior of 108. 

Now that's a nice, logical, cut-off point.

Logic and Art, thankfully, are allowed to part ways from time to time  GOD BLESS ...

wow, i've never heard you advance that opinion before....

[Straw-Man]

the registry set goes thru 102.  after various waffling, i eventually took mine thru the last classic corner-logo [115] and the first picture frame [116]---the latter notable also for being one of those 11/71 squarebounds.
