cheetah Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 [/img] Buscema knew how to deliver killed covers. One of his many SA classics that have to rank up there with the all-time best. +1 An alltime classic Silver Age cover not to mention the 1st appearance of without question the most under rated superhero of all time!!! I got this one a long time ago as a 9.4 when there was only one 9.6. I had it presed up and it was something like the erd 9.6 at the time. Since then, so many have come to the market and now there are more 9.8s than there were 9.6s when I got it. It's not one of my prettier books and I'd like to upgrade to one with better centering and better page quality. It kind of goes along with my other books in the 50s. Most have minor miswraps, date stamps or lesser page quality. It's the weakest section of my SA Avengers run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gotham Kid Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Still remember when the first 9.8 sold for 30K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sufunk Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Yeah, not the greatest centering but REAL nice colors unlike 99% of the 57's you see. Of course, only someone with as amazing a run as you could be not thrilled with that copy! I'd say let me know when you upgrade but even that 9.6 is probably out of my league. I'll probably have to stick with my 9.2 with no real hope for an upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sassemble Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 It's better centered than my 9.4. Here it is pre-slabbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR SigS Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Certainly not a 9.6... or even a 9.4, but here's my sample. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hepcat Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Here's a scan of my entry: I bought it for Hawkeye and the Scarlet Witch though so it was despite the presence of Captain America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sufunk Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Added a few more last night(and got my KICKED on a few more!) but had to overpay, at least in my mind, for most of them. Looks like the days of getting Avengers at GPA lows are over Still, i was able to make some headway on my run (thumbs u I'm still a little shocked and definitely bummed at how high the 9.6 #39 and 64 went for. I put in bids WELL over GPA that i was positive would take down the books but when i checked in on them late last night, i got my KICKED and didnt win them. 2 books i really, REALLY wanted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icculus308win Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 (thumbs u I've always been a big fan of Red Wolf. (Wakeley & Talltrees) Man!! Your books, esp. your Avengers run, just keeps getting BETTER AND BETTER!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hepcat Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 (edited) Still, i was able to make some headway on my run (thumbs u What?! Here the Scarlet Witch appears to be in danger of being swept away in the current and Captain America is still primly grasping her by only her upper arm? What kind of way is that to rescue a positively luscious woman from the water? I'd have her in a much more satisfactory grip, that's for sure! And people wonder why I'm always calling Captain America a sap. Edited June 30, 2011 by Hepcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AK Comics Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 One of the favorite books I own is Avengers 1. It's not High Grade, maybe a 5.0/5.5, but it's signed on the first page by Jack Kirby and Stan Lee. The guy I bought it from was with his dad when they got it signed. They also had a notarized letter authenticating the signatures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought i might finally get my hands on one in this last Clink auction but it wasnt to be Pic of the #1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
