I'm good with splotches. Nuffsaid111 private msg quote post Address this user







Received yesterday from CGC (1 year submission)

The Aquaman 35, All-Star Western 10, Detective 411, Strange Adventures 205, and Mr. Miracle 1 were found about 6/7 years ago at a Yard Sale within a beat up short box. $50 for the whole short box. Sold off the non-keys but kept these and finally got around to grading them.

IMO, 75% of these were overgraded, but that's the game we play. You get overgraded books; you get undergraded books, and sometimes you get spot on books

The top row was a gift from @Heinzdad and the bottom are a recent MCS pickup of X-Men poster magazines with some photos of the interiors included.

@Frontier2Xterra Nice Daredevils!!

I was in Bangor many years ago....stopped by Stephen King"s house. Very cool looking house with a wrought iron fence with a spider on the gate if I remember correctly....anyway, Bangor was really nice.

I hear their hourly rate is outrageous! sportshort private msg quote post Address this user
Won these pretty cheaply on an auction.

Got this Supes because I never thought I'd own one with this low an issue number. Glad to have it even in a 1.0

Just got some books back from CGC. I felt like there were some hits and some misses. The ASM #318 is the nicest 9.2 Newstand I have ever seen. This book was the biggest disappointment. It is also a bummer that they did not list it as a Newstand yet the other books were labeled as so.

I had only bought one $9 book over the last few months, but an MCS watchlist notifier brought me out of hibernation. Couldn't resist an affordable copy of this very display-worthy cover:

Basement pickup. My supposedly shrinking collection collides with opportunity.

Got this for less than slabbing. I know it's low grade, but that's how I roll.

Thank you sir. May I have another? Siggy private msg quote post Address this user
I bit the bullet. These are the last 2 gaps I can fill for this run. I just don't see paying the 0.5 prices for #'s 2, 4, and 5, so I'll have to wait for the crash.

Just got this yesterday at my lcs. Very happy. 😁

(To clarify, the 87 I got from the LCS, the 98 on eBay).

Sent them off today for a clean and press with a very reputable presser ( but a 6 month wait, but I guess you gotta go with high quality service that comes with a wait).

Ok, here are the pics.







I picked these up from eBay a few months ago. Sent these in for press and clean too. Didn’t take photos before I sent it in. So here’s some screen shots from the eBay buy. Hate the wait but going to love the results I’m sure.

@Siggy 6 is a cool minor key, second appearances and first villain team up.

I was lucky to pick up a gd/vg copy a decade ago when know one wanted it.

Just got in a run of All-Star from #58 to #74, missing #73. 58 was the reason I wanted it, guy wanted to sell the whole lot so I bought it. They're all in mid-grade+ condition I think, though 58 has a color breaking crease on the front and back cover. Almost looks like it was clipped or something cause the damage is in the same spot(s).

Could use a good press and I think that'll be the main downfall. I'll definitely be sending that one off for grading. Not sure what I want to do with the rest yet, maybe sell them as a lot on MCS, maybe keep em, not sure. I haven't taken my own pictures yet, these are the ones he sent me so sorry of they're not that great.

Thanks, picked this up in a lot of 1-4. Managed to sell 2-4 raw which made issue 1 "very" affordable I still remember when this book first came out.

Back, fresh from grading. I think this series was underrated. Had a few Ivar remarks put on by Bob Hall. (id love to see this put into a movie).
