Strange Tales Collecting Thread ! 13 13

[Frederic9494]

In an attempt to lure those mysterious Strange Tales collectors, I decided to start this thread! If some of them post scans of some of their high grade ST, this should be a blast!

 

I'll start with some of my favorites from my modest collection...

 

ST 103 CGC 8.0 White Mass. Copy

 

ST 104 CGC 8.5 OW

 

ST 106 CGC 8.5 OWW

 

ST 109 CGC 9.0 OWW

 

ST 116 CGC 8.0 OWW

 

ST 120 CGC 8.5 OWW

 

It's your turn now!

Okay, here's one. Not exactly in your league but Strange Tales is a title I have only begun to scratch the surface on

[Korvac Saga]

Great books from a true believer and fan!!!! Thanks for starting this thread. I'll be definitely posting some scans soon

[Karma23]

and my oldest ST to date

and my oldest ST to date

 

I really like that one...the last good cover before the end of the Human Torch run.

(except maybe ST 134 for which I have a bizarre attraction - I can't decide if it's ugly or beautiful - a true work of art !)

Hey Frederic, great idea for a thread!

 

Are some of these books my former CGC beauties that you deslabbed, or did you pick up some nice raw copies?

 

Either way, a really cool bunch of books.

ST 103, 106, 116 & 120 were bought raw and then slabbed (except for 106, I did not re-scan them once slabbed) In fact, ST 106 was my first purchase on eBay and I got it at a great price

 

As for your former beauties, I still have ST 117 & 118.

Your former ST 120 is in the caring hands of another forumite, the one that you originally sold it to...

Glad to hear they are all still being enjoyed!

Like the Avengers I started the other thread with, this one was tough to part with. I didn't even have a chance to scan it properly.

 

Should have kept it. A truly gorgeous book in-hand, this pic does it no justice.
