spillred Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 It never ceases to amaze me how many times I open up this thread and say to myself, 'wow, I'd like to have one of those.' I'm gonna have to stop opening up the thread. You will be a much happier collector if you know to avoid the three traps: 1. Gerber Guides 2. SD Con 3. GA Forum It's too late for me, but there's probably still time for you. I think the boards are even better than Gerber was at showcasing certain issues....I'm always a little overwhelmed when I open my Photo Journals. Here on the boards, you get nice big pictures, one at a time -- easier to assimilate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1koko Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 And I thought I would never own an Exciting Comics #9 - now I have two of them. (The 2.0 may be one of Bill's old copies???) Damned OCD congrats I have two as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damned OCD congrats I have two as well. Thanks, George. Considering your collection, I thought you had two of every issue. One high grade in 9.8 and one low grade in 9.6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Carson Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Thanks for the feedback on my books. The Comics On Parade # 17 does have bondage/headlights cover. I see so many great books on this board. Like a candy store. I have one more to put up. Not a high grade, but a great Lou Fine cover. National Comics # 9.

Silver Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 I slabbed my Superboy 17 in order to plug in my registry set. I eventually hope to get a nicer copy. I now have 2-23 in the registry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agro23 Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 My latest Gerber Cover acquisition. A definite upgrade over my 1.0 with detached cover. I think I need a new scanner though. Now if I could just get my hands on an affordable Fantastic #6... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicdonna Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Seems this is a big book (for me anyways) I thought I would double post it. Rick helped me to get this copy earlier this summer. He brought it to the con so I could pick it up in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
