drewincanada Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Well, I've made a big deal of this all over the boards today, so I have to share it here as well That and #4 are on my want list. Just so I know, How much did it cost? $250 shipped, Cap Congratulations! Which leads to three more questions: (1) where'd you get it, (2) how did the seller grade it, and (3) how would YOU grade it?

It was a board purchase from Flaming_Telepath, a great guy to do business with for those of you who haven't The book was board graded in the 1.8 - 2.0 range which I obviously agree with. You can check the PGM Forum to see the grades posted there. I could never afford a HG copy of this book but this one is tight with solid staples and doesn't have a ton of rips of tears on the cover, so I am perfectly pleased with it!

thehumantorch Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Too cheap to buy a good scanner Fantastic book Brian! I've always loved that cover! Looks like Custer's last stand for the Avengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've purchased a few books from Nick, and he is definitely a fine, upstanding citizen. As well as a rock-solid grader and more-than-fair pricer. (thumbs u Your Avengers run completion is a fantastic accomplishment. One of these days in the far, far distant future, I might complete my 1-200 run.

In an impossible future, I'd love to have a 1-100 or 1-200 run of slabbed books I did just pick up a 9.6 #200 on e-bay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drewincanada Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I did just pick up a 9.6 #200 on e-bay Hey, so did I! Was it from "fantasy-comics"? He seemed to have 3 or 4 copies in 9.6 grade up for auction. I won one from him a few weeks ago, and it arrived last Thursday. BTW, three of my slabbed Avengers came from Nick: my #35, #78 and #96.

Karma23 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Congrats Drew! I won my copy from greatcomics. I've never dealt with him before but I'm looking forward to getting this one. that book is a sort of end cap to the Perez era that I loved so much (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjacobs8 Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 (edited) Better scan when book is in hand ! Edited June 27, 2008 by mjacobs8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewincanada Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Better scan when book is in hand ! Nice one! Gotta love the Commissar! I love the Avengers issues from #16 through to the early 30s. Hawkeye, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver and Cap were a great lineup. (My all-time favourite era, though, is the Thomas/Buscema run from #41 through #62. That was golden!) The teens and 20s issues are the biggest gaps in my collection. It's getting mighty costly to try and fill in the gaps in grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 9.0 is a very nice book and a lot better value than a lot of the higher grades IMHO. That's a cool # 18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
