MSParkinson Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I'm jealous of you all - i have pretty much Avengers 2-20 but they're technically not mine and i have to sell them! Boo! Partilcularly cruel since Avengers along with amazing is my favourite series... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewincanada Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I'm going to send it off to CGC as soon as I get sick of flipping through it and just holding a book I've wanted off and on for 30 years (no exaggeration). Fantastic!! Good luck with CGC I keep looking for a #1 in a grade I can afford, but haven't found one yet. Hoping it isn't another 30 years for ME...

I'm hoping to start looking for one around 6.5/7.0ish next year. What grade range do you think you'll look for Andrew? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewincanada Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I'm thinking 6.0-7.0 too. I've been looking around, and a decent 6.0 sold on Ebay for $1K recently. If I put a hold on my lower value purchases for a month or two, I could swing $1 to 1.5K... Maybe it'll happen this summer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't afford the big books because I keep buying zillions of little guys. I'm an addict and I can't hold off for the big books, sniff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheetah Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 eBay's got a 6.5 but it is c/ow. Avengers 6.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewincanada Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 (edited) Thanks, Bill and Jeff! I saw those two Ebay listings and I'm keeping an eye on the 7.0. The BIN on that 6.5 is pretty steep for a C/OW copy, especially when it's in the same price range as Bob's copy... and Bob's copy is already pricey for a 6.0. I'd seen the listing for Bob's copy, and it looks really sharp. The edges and corners are some of the best I've seen on an Avengers #1. There's some creasing down the left side, but is that the only reason it got a 6.0? Hmmm. (Think I'll call CGC and get the graders' notes on this one.)

gaz973 Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 The BIN on that 6.5 is pretty steep for a C/OW copy, Silveracre always overprice by a hell of a lot, they're the British Milehigh Comics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, and the price has gone past my comfort zone anyway. He has a good feedback rating, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewincanada Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 I suppose that technically, one of these should probably be displayed in the Bronze forum, but what the heck. I'm a Silver guy all the way, so here they are. My two latest additions (this week), from Pedigree. I'm really pleased with the cover alignment on both. I just wish the Pedigree's scans were better. They make them look kinda dingy and soft around the edges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thehumantorch Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Very nice books, if they were low grade they would be Bronze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karma23 Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Thanks guys, if only the top edge and corner were as nice as the spine. Oh well, it was a nice price and I am very pleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
