Quote:Originally Posted by Siggy Man, I love seeing all those very-high-grade Bronze and Silver age books. There's nothing better than finding comics from that era in the wild, sending them in, and getting back a 9.6 or 9.8 with bone-white pages and sharp corners. @Siggy, I gotta ask: did you take all those comics out of bags and boards and take pictures just for this post? Or do you already have large swaths of your collection photographed? |

Quote:Originally Posted by Bronte Did someone say they had 2,000 slabs? I missed that post. That many would be hard to handle in a PC. I've got about 250 at MCS that are for sell, and I don't really count those ones. My PC is about 270 right now, with another 20-30 I'm about to mail to MCS. Plus, another 150 at CGC waiting to be graded, and 25 at my presser's, and another 50 going out the next couple days. All those will be sold, though, so they don't really count towards my PC either. If I had ten times as many slabs here, I don't know where the hell I'd put them. Hard enough making space for my ~5000 raws. I'll add a few more slabs here and there, but I am definitely slowing down. |

Quote:Originally Posted by EbaySeller  Nah, they're almost all undercopies and upgrades. Sometimes I'd have a group of books, but then later I'd buy the whole run (What If? Marvel Two-In-One). Quote: Originally Posted by sportshort Are comics all over the floor? No, they still go in boxes. |

This was a recent "Wait, I have 2 of these?" discovery. Both are the glossy covers.  |

| @Siggy - I don't think I have seen the yellow top of the "A" before with the yellow background. Are any of the errors, or perhaps the corrected version, worth significantly more? It might be a fun issue to look for in the wild, one of these days. | ||

I think I've seen 3 common types, but I only have these two. I see them on eBay, I just have no desire to buy a single cheap book there, and I don't want to buy more than this book just because of the first reason. Unless we're in the Twilight Zone and this discussion drives prices, I can wait. |

I've always enjoyed this Hulk vs Thor story by Stan Lee with Eric Larsen's first Marvel work.   |

Collecting multiple copies of the same comic? Wel I guess there was this extremely lucrative purchase of 250 copies of the same comic. I just sent off another 33 copies to be slabbed. I pre-screened them so they should all come back as 9.8s. That will make about 80 9.8s out of that case so far. |
