@obrie2tm SWEET! While the 1st appearance of the "Haunted Tank" in issue #87 is certainly a Very desirable(and Pricey) Book, something about it leaves me wanting more from that book. I think it is the fact that the haunted Tank is not actually on the cover. I find myself being drawn more toward Issue #91, which features the first Haunted Tank Cover, and what a cover IT IS! That kraut plane exploding into a fireball literally comes right off the page at you! Another classic Russ Heath Master piece!
There is no question I would already own Issue #91 if not for the fact that I simply cannot find anything remotely close to an acceptable grade on it.





I see you also have a GI Combat #108 that features the first Sgt rock Cross over into the title. OUTSTANDING! I just dropped my monthly comic budget on a CGC 8.5 copy of that book! I don't have it in hand yet.


I'll keep ya posted!

I was told once by an auditing professor that I would make a good auditor because I thought like a criminal.

Pre-paid credit cards used to be great. Whay back when...parking machines only updated and linked to the internet like once a day. You, if you were inclined....one could use a pre-paid card that had no balance left and buy parking time since the old machines had no way of knowing if there was $$ or not...and being pre-paid...there was no name associated with it so no way to trace back to you and get caught.....just something I heard is all.....

@Batfan77

Watch out for #1, 5, 6, they can get expensive.
I went ahead and got all the covers for #125.

Good luck on the run

@bige31 most of my stuff is DC, but the majority is Batgirl. I have quite a few comics, the new 52 and rebirth runs, some older stuff but not much that isn’t Barbara. She’s the best!

@zdoes10 I’m going to wait a bit to try and get them. I do have a connection and he has them. I started out at #75 and got the news ones then started working backwards in chunks. I just got issues 8, 9 and 10 last week. I think I’m up to 8 short boxes of zenescope now.

@Batfan77 I don’t have as many figures as you do but I have all of new 52 and rebirth as well. I have her first several appearances and other important ones like you showed. She absolutely is the best! I’m trying to get everything of hers cuz she’d be a cool hero for my daughter.

Collector Batfan77 private msg quote post Address this user
@bige31 she’s an outstanding character. Most of the figures and statues I have ( and they don’t all fit in the picture) I wait until I find a good deal somewhere. Very few do I pay anywhere near retail. I’m a big Supergirl fan too. When I started back into comics about 10 years ago, I just gravitated to Barbara, I’ve been a Batman fan since I was a kid.

Collector bige31 private msg quote post Address this user
@Batfan77 I definitely gravitated towards her with during the new 52 when I really began collecting runs and stories. I’ve always been a robin/Nightwing fan.

@bige31 this is the last one I picked up from eBay , since you’re a Nightwing fan. It being graded by cbcs was a plus.

I showed my wife and she was so happy for me she started to cry. Batman66 private msg quote post Address this user



so I picked this up to go with the 68 premiere issues. A few people on Facebook groups are doing the same sets, I didn't think about captain savage 1. I know Thor 126 is technically not part of the '68 set since it's from '66, but it's still a premiere issue so I think it belongs in the set. Are their others you guys/gals think should be in it?

@Batman66 I’m not a big Marvel fan or historian and don’t know about the Thor, but I am a big fan of Namor. Those 2 are awesome! Very impressive books overall for a collection!

@bige31 I have several Detective 359 but sadly only one original. I think I have every version of the reprint though. And there’s never enough Disco Nightwing either

Nothing really special, but the price on eBay was right. I already own these copies but wanted another FF #296 in NM, but ended up getting a couple of cheap lots (all NM) from same seller...#294-297 $5.25 & #232, 233 $6.99, with shipping it was around $20.

Look forward to seeing the copy of 108! Indeed, I also have been searching for a decent copy of 91. Although the Haunted Tank is not on the cover, I have always been drawn to the amazing Russ Heath art on 87; but then again, all of his covers are spectacular! You've got a great collection of higher grade copies going and I look forward to seeing more of them as posted! I'll be sure to post any finds on my part.

Best
Tim
