The Troll King Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I guess I'm going to try and focus more on fewer titles, which is extremely tough for me to do. That said, my Vampirella's are steadily growing and now I'm looking at Jumbo's and Phantom Lady's. Golden Age just seems to have an overwelming appeal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people find themselves looking that way. Unusual euphemism though, "my Vampirella's". Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hepcat Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Rick: And no offense to fans of FF & X-Men, but where others saw their in-house bickering as "real life angst," my take on it was that I see enough of this in my own life.... I agree. As a kid I wanted my superheroes to be heroic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He11blazer Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I don't collect JLA, but I thought you guys might like this recent purchase which arrived today. Picked it up for £60 ($120) which I think is worth it just to have one, whatever the grade! Can they be found more cheaply than that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLA_ALL_THE_WAY Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 It's a lot better than the copy I have. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
He11blazer Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 It's a lot better than the copy I have. Rick This is rapidly becoming my new favourite single comic in my collection. Just looking at it knowing it's a silver age key first issue. I think perhaps my new calling is to acquire all the great silver age keys in ultra low grade! Beggars can be choosers too.

I have one in similar condition, maybe more ragged edges. I called it Fair. Is the cover attached to yours? Mine's stashed away and I don't have a scan. Next time I'm at the Fortress of Solicitude, I'll try to find it and post a scan to compare. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Poor is really for comics with big pieces missing (like front covers), so Fair seems right to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john72tex Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 Since everyone is posting their low-grade #1's, here's mine: I think it's a 2.5-3.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hepcat Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 (edited) I've now decided that my JLA 3 isn't up to my quality standards and I "need" a better one with less spine wear. I'm not willing to sacrifice whiteness though. I'm driving myself so crazy.... Edited January 18, 2008 by Hepcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john72tex Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 Not sure if I posted this earlier in this thread, but I wanted some opinions of the grade based on the front cover(don't have time to do a bc scan yet). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
