Well, talk among yourselves, never know whats in that Blue Holder until you crack it out.

Just lamenting BA spidey's lately as I have a 121, 122 and 129. But sleeping on HG copies of non keys is now going to cost me. The 101 is probably going to cost more than I paid for my 129 These books are not rare, but the old supply demand thing is in full effect.

The front cover gloss is newsstand as are the staple and the general suppleness of the book. Curious as to thoughts on this amount of foxing stains though.

While I'm not insulted by the spam emails I get, I am starting to get insulted by the shipping charges at Comic Connect, $38 for two slabs Fed Ex Ground which is probably about $13 actual cost based on weight, so 300% it is. They are making Heritage look reasonable.

Two more recent DD pickups. The DD 34 has great centering, a problem on this book traditionally

I was discussing this with a few people at the last Berkeley Con. As Joe said, 9.2 books HAVE DEFECTS Think about it, there are FIVE grading levels above 9.2. on the book in question that is a very small color breaking stress, which is probably = to 4-5 color breaking spine ticks, which is consistent with a lot of books in 9.2 holders IF the rest of the book is clean. The problem comes in when people see one defect on a book and then consider that defect as acceptable WITH A BUNCH OF OTHER DEFECTS on a book, this is where consistency breaks down and frustration sets in.

thats a really nice looking copy

I actually don't have all the GRs scanned, will have to remedy that soon. But here is the 145 - I can't believe its been over 12 years since I bought them

I'd say that a lot of the prices you realized almost 10 years ago have held up today. The Thor 12c Market is pretty stable, the Warlock books got a bit of a movie bump, but I paid less for my 126 than you realized for yours I believe, even the 129 has shown a very few scattered sales. I remember your sales thread well and had I not been focused on DD at the time would have definitely like to have bought a few. Wonder if foolkiller still has those books Here is another book that I found a tad difficult in terms of quality production, Thor Annual 2 this is the Don/Maggie Copy. And my favorite 12c Cover, THOR 157. I wish I had bought your Pac Coast, but this is the Suscha; this book is NOTORIOUS for a bad miss wrap, this copy definitely does not suffer from that QP defect.

You know I was never a Thor fan until the Simonson run. Being a GenX Copper kid that was the thor that hooked me. I started to back issue it a bit and have to say that the stories in the Silver Age were a little hokey, but I really think Kirby hit his Prime stride on Thor. I'm sure the FF'ers will consider that blasphemy (I always counter that the best thing Kirby drew on FF was the Silver Surfer), but that's just me. His large panel interiors and just dynamic large figure rendering of Thor always seemed to bring so much more to the character, which was needed given the aforementioned stories.

I own the Green River to 129 and 136 and both are Raw the 136 not sure about, but the 129 That Northland is beautiful, great book.

So what's the toughest 12c Thor? I could look at the census, (just did, 2 9.8s and 9 at 9.6) but just in my experience it was 126 until a few years ago when it received the "first app. in own title bump" then a bunch came out of the wood work. This book was notorious for tanning and just not having crisp whites. even on some of the pedigree copies it also had the typical top left corner fraying in the green area of the Avatar (DD1 has this issue on many copies). I have never seen the Pac Coast copy, and I think there is a Curator as well, again never seen it. I was the under bidder many many many moons ago on the White Mountain and kick myself every time for that one, but JIM was still king then and JIM 83 was still considered the #1 with book was soooooo far behind Cap 100 and Hulk 102 in terms of desirability for a long time. Finally picked up a very white 9.0 and am happy with that book unless the Twin Cities came up again (there is a 9.8 Boston, but for my money and the probably cost), the 9.6 TC is a better book.

The Pedigree force is strong with this one.

I was hoping this would be the nicest copy I had ever seen .... and it was
