The events that unfolded in this completely reversed the status quo of the storyline. It’s like Thor’s “Anatomy Lesson”. And yet, I don’t hear even dedicated Thor readers bringing it up. Hmmm, well I look forward to reading it now, as I don't think I ever did back in the 90s when I had them all. KirbyJack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mucheee1 Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Another recent purchase. Can't figure out why it graded out as a 2.5, it looks pretty nice. Must be the water damage. KirbyJack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be the water damage. Has anyone read the new CGC grading book, maybe that would provide some explanation. But yeah, I'm with you, the water damage doesn't seem that bad on the face of it, maybe a 4-5.5 would have been a more appropriate grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR SigS Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 I have some ketchupping to do. Nothing recent. KirbyJack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR SigS Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 I thought I'd post a The Hammer Strikes theme, but (in my incomplete collection) there are few examples, and I'm not sure the first is even a "strike." Many examples of The Hammer Twirls, though. KirbyJack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattTheDuck Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Today's mail brought along this upgrade which just squeezes into the Silver Age. Apropos, given the cover. KirbyJack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For many decades (mostly due to inactivity on my part) JIM #93 was the "oldest" comic book I owned. Given how rare early Marvel Silver Age books were around here when I was collecting, I'm surprised I have it. MR SigS and KirbyJack 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirbyJack Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Fantastic Four 30 was my oldest for what seemed like forever. (It probably lasted about 2 months, but I was in my most ravenous period of collecting.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(It probably lasted about 2 months, but I was in my most ravenous period of collecting.) The only chance I had to improve was a remaindered FF #10. I told the guy at Apache Books - which was the LCS where I bought a large percentage of my books in those days - that I was looking for "older" Marvel books. He called about this book and this was probably '73 because my mom drove me to look at it. I think he wanted $10 for it which at the time would have also been the most expensive book I owned. In probably the only instance where I took condition into account before 2021, I turned it down. KirbyJack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
