I could not believe the richness of the yellows and reds on the ads, of all things. Over 50 years later. Great page quality too! Looks like the interior of a book from the 1980s...

Popular Post Frisco Larson Posted August 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 7, 2021 (edited) Won a few for my run, but have had to make a grade adjustment as 9.6s and 9.8s have become too expensive.

RayJr Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 On 3/11/2021 at 11:55 AM, I Am The Answer! said: This specific issue holds a very special place in my heart because it's is the very first comic that I can recall buying and, more importantly, keeping. Back in Jul 1978, I was a young 13 year old and when I saw this on the spinner rack in my local convenience store I had to have it. Here was this guy with this big hammer taking on an even bigger snake. What could be cooler than that? It spent the good part of three or four years in the top drawer of my dresser with all of my magazines before I rediscovered it and it's been full speed ahead with collecting ever since. Thank you so much Thor. Freakin awesome. Thanks for sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MR SigS Posted August 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 24, 2021 I just noticed my image on page 11 is gone, so I'll repost. This is from my first sub 10 years ago which included an X-Men 50 9.6 and Hulk 181 6.0 (now a 7.0).

And don't worry about comparing it to the 10.0, which was dragged pretty mercilessly on these boards when it came up for auction earlier this year.

I have always loved this cover, and for me the visual difference between a 9.4 and a 10.0 is infinitesimal. I would rather buy a 100 9.4s for the price difference.

The 9'6s & 9.8s are just getting too out of control and I want to keep filling in the run, so I have to lower the expectation level a bit. Such is a collector's life ....
