    Great taste in books
  2. I have the complete run. Some I will part with
  3. My good buddy from Wisconsin sold me on their drink of choice. A Brandy Manhattan. I prefer the brandy........Classy both ways but Wisconsin are Old School
  4. JLA is the Beast of group superheroes. Avengers have nothing on these. Grab them now for sure....Nice post
  5. those are some dandy's. GL 17 and DD 5 make me smile with gleefullness.........Keep them going
  6. understood...you do have great taste in books...Keep it up. I loved the Flash ones earlier.
  7. a TOS 8.5 CGC graded on average is 75 dollars. You might want to look into GPS before purchasing raw books. I mean no disrespect but showing something you might not be aware of
  8. would it not be better to have quality over quantity? I feel it would be a wiser investment

    Detective 402

    What a great cover. I recently opened mine for Neal to sign. I love his signature. Congrats and you have great taste in books I dare say..............
  10. I only hope that my previous journals and comments are saved. There were some great times in those
  11. I tried to make a comment on a piece and then went into my friends to find all my comments are not there. I hope this gets fixed as I quite enjoy going back to my own journals as well to reflect on where I was at the time. Please CGC...FIX THIS
  12. Daredevil is my favorite Marvel Superhero. I always have loved this cover. Great to see a post from you...How is the music etc going?
  13. I just got back 60 books from being graded. I am quite excited and felt the need to share this one as I love the Showcase books As I get older I get a bit more excited about books that are less appreciated and less known. I find myself gravitating towards 1st appearances and connected story line books. Most all my submissions were 1st appearances or 1st issues and many were graded lower than expected but I am happier to have them encapsulated and ready to put in my 18 by 44 foot comic vault I am having built...Pictures later of the CGC cabinets and room.

  14. Getting tired of seeing You Tube Threads on CGC I have submitted more books than most people. I want to be CLEAR. CGC has ALWAYS treated me fairly. I see You Tube videos and make my comments as I deem fit. I get upset when I watch some Comic Collectors Begrudge CGC. WHY? I have proof...I submit more books than most of you reading and even AFTER they came up with the new CGC CASE. If I did have a problem they will fix it. This is a HUGE SHOUT OUT TO CGC AND THE ONES WHOM I HAVE WORKED WITH....YOU ROCK STAY TRUE AND REAL>... nuff said To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here.

  15. Looking good Surfer dude.........
  16. As many know, I love comics but I have gravitated to DC for quite some time. I have more Marvel books both RAW and CGC but I find DC books are a HIT for me. Showcase #4 is the perfect example...It is the Marvel Amazing Fantasy 15...Less graded..... Though I am still in search for a non resto book...RESTO RUINS THE MARKET.I find DC is THE HIDDEN WONDER and the undervalued and WELL deSERVED LEADER IN COMICS. I am so happy with this book as it BEATS ANYTHING ELSE I OWN....A TREASURE To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here. New comments can be added below.
  17. IT is not Religion...It is COMICS This has been a long time coming. My life has been changed by a large handful of books. Mad, Marvel, DC, Aircel, Comico, Eclipse, Warp (I loved the Elfquest books), First (that was a doozey)...Ther were more but I must further my mind now. When I started submitting my books I realized my grading was VERY off. These were books I read and now I know better. Between 1984 and 1988 I got extremely serious. I began buying multiples ( I still do to this day...but now it is VARIANTS). Some multiple books make me giggle and I know why...They were Infinite crossovers or Secret Wars crossovers. My point being, I am a fan of COMICS. Now, as I have matured, am more interested in undervalued books. DC is now my favorite unless a 9.8 Marvel pops up. I am so intrigued by DC books and the composition of the covers. As for me, I will always stick with CGC to grade as this is a standard for which I can contain my CONTENT...I am so happy as well that they are getting NEW SLABS and CHEERS TO COLLECTING To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here.

  18. Holidays for Reflection I am thankful for so many friends in the CGC Society. I have made great friends and met some great people who work at CGC. A simple THANK YOU and a thumbs up TO ALL WHO COLLECT and HAVE A GREAT NIGHT..... SANTA LIVES IN ALL To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here. New comments can be added below.
  19. those are some nice select books you got done. My Lil pals got an 8.5 as well
  20. TNERB was the first person I reached out to. Birthday book The first person I reached out to one I first started this CGC business was Tnerb. Spell it backwards....you might ask him why it is important. My collecting goes back to MAD books when I was 8. It was not so much collecting but when, in 1976, we moved to Reno and I met a friend who had a father that was a doctor. He showed me a Silver Surfer 1 and Iron Man 1. He got them from his fathers money but I fell in love with the thread of yearning. He told me about a comic shop 8 miles away (perhaps 5 miles) and in 1983 I became a master of cool ecting. I became more COOL as I continued but my younger brother read my books (dropped them down a few grades) and he still owes me for low grades (Oops, that was between us). Even so....getting back To LEE This man responded to me and I sent him a big batch of books because I loved his posts. I sent them to his fathers home and we have sealed the deal ever since I have connected with many wonderful people through this man and now that he is married I can throw out a YOU ARE WECOME AS WELL AS I AM The way I look at it is that I have met, in this community, some of the finest humans ever. I found this raw book for Tnerb and he is loving his birthday books. This is a key to the date of his Birthday and I find I take pride in listening to my friends.....ENJOY To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here. New comments can be added below.
  21. Kamandi has always intrigued me. This is one of the few runs I submitted my run. Most are upgraded but my #1 is still with me..GO .KIRBY
  22. Stanley's best writing...just ask him
  23. I have most Aircel books from the 80's. I was into D & D so I was drawn towards Elflord and the others. I think there are some gems amongst the Aircel group. What do you think of First Comics and Eclipse and Comico (elementals was a fav of mine)

    AVENGERS 1

    JUSTICE LEAGUE The most unique Stanley Lieber (Stan Lee) book is Silver Surfer. I would love to eventually get a higher grade in this BUT JLA is where it all began as a team. I am a HUGE fan of comics and the ATLAS books are so unerated...AS WELL AS DC. Although I love the Avengers I have to give JLA a boost for starting a Super Team.
