Avengers collecting thread!

Personally, I don't care much for signatures. I've never sought out SS books. From what I've seen here, SS collectors appear to be a relatively small segment of the collecting scene.

 

But really, it doesn't matter what anyone else does. If YOU like sigs, then go for it.

 

As for grading, as many here will tell you, buy the book, not the grade. You can find books in a fairly wide range of conditions that all have the same CGC grade on their slabs.

lol knowing how to scan and having a decent scanner are, at least in this case, two different things. I thought it was a good buy on eBay...but I was wrong.

Avengers 88 is listed as having a second printing. Does anyone know if this was a modern reprinting or if it occurred immediately after the first printing. Anyone know how to tell the second printing from the first?

Great stuff, Andrew. I should have thought to check there. It answers a number of questions I had about some other titles, too.

 

It looks like there is a #4 reprint, too.
