Nah, not right now vegan. I basically moved earth to find a NM+ copy of 24 and never found one. Just got lucky on ebay back in '03. Im a big cgc 9.8 with white pages GIJoe collector of issues before 31. (Thats the last issue snake eyes appears with his original costume on the cover btw. useless knowledge ). I used to own an afa 85 of both the 82 snake eyes and orignal cobra commander. Sold on ebay 2002

Yes, 24 is an awesome book. Besides being the first appearance of firefly I believe, it was also the first GIJoe book I actually bought and read. I had collected the figures in 83 but didnt bother with the book for the first two years

Nah, not right now. I waited forever to get my hands on 24. I think there are several 25 9.8's out there though

Cool, just let me know if you ever decide to sell. I'd take 3, 9 and 12 if they have white pages. I have 1, 4,5,24 and 25 in 9.8 I had 27 but sold it.

Hmm, I don't know wolvergeek. We may have to paper rock sissers this out

If you do sell your 9.8s, Im interested

I have a double cover I would like to post if someone would host the image for me?

That is a good question. I use these thin cardboard pieces and I fold em and tape em into kinda a wedge shap and place a few backing boards behind my last comic so as not to leave a mark and then i place these things behind the comics and it puts enough gentle pressure on them so they wont fall backwards or damage em. Been doing it for years with no bad results.

Just received tpb from lighthouse. Thx man

Props to Dr Banner for nice MTUs. Ill be paying for the 144 I just bought soon.

Lately, Ive started collecting limited edition busts and statues. Ive got two black stealth firefly GIJoe minibusts along with a chromed destro version, and cobra commander. I think they are pretty cool. Ive also been spying factory x stuff like iron mans helmet.

yep, i felt afa massacred my v1 snake eyes and cobra commander. I paid 250 each for them moc back in early 90's. guy thought i was crazy. each went for well over 1000 if i remember correctly at afa 85. I sometimes feel they grade harder than cgc on modern books. im still looking for both in 90-95 afa. Willing to trade big books for those babies. I do collect the palisides busts and statues. got one of the v1 bust cobra commander. Preordered the snake eyes v1 statue for march delivery. Contemplating getting the life size bust of v2 snake eyes. Just got GIjoe 31 in cgc 9.8w, last cover appearance of snake eyes in orginal costume (the way he was meant to be). GI Joe 43 is first unofficial appearance of 2nd costume but not noted on label nor does he actually appear in that issue for some reason. Man, what i wouldnt give for 21 in 9.8. I had to bust my left nut just to get issue 24 in 9.8. For some reason most of my issues of GIJoe are with ow/w pages. But back then i was reading those babies. Those books are great reads. Cant wait till GIJoe origin of cobra commander book comes out. Cant think of name of book right now its so late.

Megos and Super Powers figs rock. Certain Secret Wars figs are on fire right now like foreign releases: wolverine (black claws)Ice man, electro.Black hole figures like ol bob, sentry, are pretty scare. I used to collect original star wars figures. I remember pre-ebay having phone in auctions from cloud city collectibles (they got stuff you could only dream off if you like to collect prototype figueres and movie props from star wars to indiana jones). Think they are starting new site called collectgijoe.com but dont know if up yet. I think i paid $6k for a perfect ungraded vinyl caped jawa over the phone with those guys. Sold it some years ago but cant imagine what an afa graded 95 would go for now. If anyone has a black spidey secret wars c10 pm me, im on the hunt.

Ummm , PSA or Beckett 10 1975 Topps baseball cards (just cuz i like the set and bb back then actually rocked). and 1986 fleer basketball (MJ rookie year) AFA graded 90 or better GIJoe series 1 and series 2 action figures, trade paperbacks for reading, gave up atari 2600 mib cuz too much fluxuation in value, currently horading Nintendo power mags year 1-2, black spidey statues/busts/misc black spidey stuff (pre venom spidey), early drug prohibition propaganda, and an avid MAME emulator roms for my cpu/gaming computer (got over 600 games for that sucker), butterfly collar shirts (they are already back in style) and all the downloaded music albums i can get my hands on for free .
