Quote:Originally Posted by southerncross Yea, there were a number of books that I was hoping to see but never saw. It's possible that Alan got copies but they sold quickly or maybe that Mark just never had them to bring in. I was able to get really nice copies of Adventure Comics #432-436 (Spectre issues) but I never saw #431 or #437 through #440. I never saw a Swamp Thing #1. ☹️ And it would been have been nice to see more Phantom Strangers and Teen Titans. Still, it was a helluva run while it lasted, that's for sure. |

| @DWeeB1967 I got a 433 so there must have been 2 copies of that.  There were no Swamp Thing 1 in the collection. Not a single issue which was strange. Not sure about the teen titans. The phantom strangers, Witching hours and Spidey super stories u kind of grabbed them as they were mostly single copy issues. Even those I didn't get all of them as copies were sold before I could see them. There were a few books that sold the day they would come into the store. A couple of regulars would turn up every Thursday. I missed out seeing half a dozen mid grade timely golden age. Spideys including 129 that was a single copy. The Batman 241 and other books. There was only a couple of issues of House of secrets and no 92. No Hulk 181, 182 but there was a Hulk 180 that came and went. I think 3 copies of New Gods 1 for some reason. Very strange yet unique collection. |

| Absolutely, @southerncross. Very strange collection. As I (and others) have said before, thanks to you for turning us on to this collection. It was lots of fun. I spent way too much money but got some really nice books. |

| I've only graded 6 books that I bought from this collection (out of maybe 30). My two Hero for Hire #1s came back really nice: 9.8 and 9.6. I already traded away the 9.6. My two Demon #1s came back as a 9.8 and a 9.2. I'm considering auctioning the 9.8 since it has a pretty obvious miswrap. My two Kamandi #1s came back 9.8 and 8.0. |

| WOW!! SWEET!!! I'm hoping for 9.8's on both. That Demon #1 9.8 should bring in a nice chunk of change too. |

| That’s the problem. They’re all high grade Why is that a problem? From what I've seen the "Grumpy Old guy" has had at most (20) copies of each comic book. That means (20) people will have a chance at a really good grade. |

| @Rafel, I think @CFP_Comics was responding to your suggestion to "keep the high graded ones and sell/trade the lower graded ones." If all the books are high grade, then he can't sell/trade the lower grade books because there are none. That's why he's going to have a problem parting with some of the books. |

Quote:Originally Posted by DWeeB1967 Yeah those were mostly one offs but there was the odd double like this book.  Unfortunately I never saw a issue 1, there was a issue 1 from Witching hour. And early on there was two copies of this issue which I bought both.   The condition of these two books look so sweet. |

| @Hcanes Yeah the Brave and the bold is a sweet copy with a nice black cover. I like seeing the white pages poking out along the right hand side. All I hose books were one offs in the collection. | ||

| So here's a question for those of you who bought one or more books from this collection: which book, of those you bought, is your favorite? Not necessarily the book that might end up being the most expensive... just the one that you were most stoked about when you bought it? For me, it's the copy of Wonder Woman #199 that I was lucky enough to get. I think this one was a one-off although I don't know for sure (@southerncross??). I have always loved this cover. Jeff/Catherine Jones just hit a home run on this one and this copy is beautiful with great centering.  |

| @DWeeB1967 That's a sweet copy. It would look great in my chained collection. Tough to find this nice. Let me know when you are ready to part with it... |

@Nearmint67 Thanks! It may be a while before that happens.  I also ended up with a copy of WW #200 from the collection. Also a chained cover as I'm sure you are aware. This one is not *QUITE* as nice as the #199 but it is still really sharp.  |
