Nothing new

I have basically stop collecting new comics. I decided this with ASM 1 (2014). To put that money into older books that I want. Here are just a few of my latest purchases of raw books. I do love raw books. Eventually I will have them CGC'd. But for now I want to enjoy them in their raw naked glory.       Every book I purchase I place in a 4mil mylar bag along with a 42mil acid free backing board. This way I can take them out of the box and admire the cover art work without worrying that th

Tnerb & Bagofles New Mutants Wars

Maybe Marvel should consider this as a new series Reading your journals and your love of the New Mutants, I couldn't help but try and help you guys a bit. Like you really need it, but never-the-less if you haven't notice Comic Connect has the missing issues in raw form (1983 series) you guys need albeit not 9.8's maybe some pressing is all they need. Good Luck Just my two cents worth. To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here. New comments can be added below.

NYCC

More Sigs Here are a few more books that I had signed. These I met everyone who signed them. A little disappointed with Celebrity Authentics due to their rushing everyone through. It was get on line place book on table, she signs' it, next! So it seem to me. As for the comic artist and writers, very approachable and down to earth. Pretty cool.

X-Men

Raw Gold Earlier this year I walked into my LCS seeking silver age spideys. In the display were several X-Men, Incredible Hulk and my favorite Amazing Spider-Man. The ASM on display I already have in my collection, nothing new there. The Hulk book was way too high for me to purchase. So I look at the X-Men books. The X-Men books in the case were all somewhere in my opinion from VF- to NM. This copy being the NM copy. Haggling with the store owner, he refuse to lower his price, citing the

I want Him

Who?....Warlock I finally got all the issues of Him - Warlock that I have been seeking. Looking through my collection for books I wanted to have graded, I came across these two books. Marvel Premiere # 1 and Warlock # 1. I got a little curious and wondered where he first appeared. A little bit of researching using Wikipedia, and Overstreet, I got my answer. So now I put these on my want list. First I bought Fantastic Four # 66 and 67 from Comicconnect, and my last purchase was yesterday, w

The Day After....NYCC

Recuperating Glad it's over, I had a good time. Along with having my books signed, graded and some for pressing, I made some purchases of silver age comics in raw form (see pic below). I did not send them out to get signed, pressed or graded because I want to enjoy these babies in their raw form for now. But I will be having them pressed and graded eventually. Having them not signed is no big deal. I think I made a decent purchase, no more that a total of $200.00 for these four babies from

Whew...!! NYCC

Days gone by....   (Walking dead reference, being the night of the new episodes)While this is not my first NYCC or signings, it is my first signing at NYCC and let me tell you, I felt overwhelm.Previous years going to the con, I would spend the days walking around, enjoying all the exhibits and seeking back issues, mostly silver age spidey. Never thought about signing my books nor having them graded. I love raw books.Anyway, a funny thing happened. As I waited at Artist Alley at the CGC statio

NYCC

Time running out Here I am still working out my budget for this weekend, and wondering what I want signed. Since Stan Lee will be the most expensive I have to shift around what books I want to bring due to my recent unemployment predicament. But I finally got at least three books that are definitely headed for signing and pressing Amazing Spider-Man 9 - 1st Electro Don't recall where I got this book, but I paid a price around a 2.5 to 3.0. I keep track of all my purchases in exel. Am

Legends Tour Submission

Well, can't say I wasn't surprise, but overall I am happy with the outcome. I knew ASM 129 would not merit a 8.5 because of the top staple, paper worn. I actually expected a 7.5. FF 48, was what I expected and pleasantly surprised. Inc Hulk 181, after carefully examining my scan of it I figure it too would not grade above 8.5. Journey Into Mystery 85, was to me a shocker. Besides the piece missing in the lower right corner, the cover was somewhat wrinkled. But not enough to have color

No Summer School

Grades are Up My submittals from April have return with passing grades. As promised, here they are posted. I had Chris Claremont signed Marvel Team-Up 100 and it came back a 9.4, I thought it would grade no higher than a 9.2, sweet. I have a complete run of MTU including all seven annuals. Neal Adams signed Capt. America #1 Diamond Select Toys Ed. - 9.6 and Incredible Hulk #1 with a sketch - 9.8. Also submitted were my ASM 700. I should have waited for Humberto Ramos and Stan Lee's sig

WIZARD WORLD

or my wallet just got lighter Just got home from Wizard World NYC Experience, and let me say that I had a great time. 1st I waited over by Humberto Ramos's table to sign up to have my ASM 648 sketched (2 copies). I have six more but they will have to wait for another time, since he would only do 2 per person. 2nd I dropped by Arthur Suydam for the same purpose, and dropped off my copy of Walking Dead 109. 3rd I dropped by Desert Wind Comics to have several books signed by Stan Lee as wel

NYCBM 2013

Sketchy Went to the show for the purpose of getting my Incredible Hulk (4th series) Blank Variant sketched and signed by Neal Adams. While he was not not artist for the book, He did do the cover for 1/25 variant. Here is the pic before it went out to CGC. This sketch is my very first original piece of art work, and extremely pleased. Thank you Mr. Neal Adams Also had my Marvel Team-Up 100 signed by Chris Claremont who wrote it along with Frank Miller (too bad he wasn't there), also we

I've waited patiently...

My 8 signature series submissions from way back in March 2012 finally came home. While they are not high grade (I knew this), I am pleasantly pleased.

Latest Purchases...

Silver and Copper A few weeks ago I purchase via auction, ASM 40 (Green Goblin origin), ASM 44 (2nd Lizard app). And I am very please with them. Today I walked into the comic book shop to buy a new storage box, and to my surprise there in the glass display were ASM 38 (Mary Jane 2nd Cameo app) and ASM 129 (1st Punisher app), two books that I have been looking for. I quickly scooped them up after a somewhat thorough inspection. All the pages present, no ads clipped, tanning, staples in-tack

Spider-Man

Signed... but... Well, I got my two Spider-Man 1 (1990) back, unfortunately I made a minor newbie error. Signed by Stan Lee not Todd Mcfarlane. I should have told the Desert Wind people to get the second signature...oops. Minor error, yes, Stan is one of the co-creators, so therefore deserves to sign these two books. None-the-less I am very pleased on recieving my first signature series of my originally purchased books. I still have 4 # 1Silver Edition books (original owner) that I hope
