did they sell books like ASM 1 or AF15? Did he even have those copies still? Crazy how they failed so badly at getting the word out for this auction. Maybe those were sort of Ditko's last snub at letting people get too close - through the efforts of his nephew. Still the same-- what an odd duck all around.

How many here have multiple copies of some old Thor books? Not talking about graded copies exactly (of which I have zero Thor related ones). I know I have several while some holes in my early JIM run continue to bother me. Granted-- I'm not talking about nose bleed high grade copies either-- just decent complete readers to fill those holes as a completest. I'm too dang cheap to pay up for the copies. I would imagine someone has come up with a way to do some horse trading over in the wanted to buy forum probably-- but it seems like not much ever happens over there. Not sure- part of me is like "just let it go-- you have a ton of books that you already barely read anyway". Anyway-- hope I am not breaking any rules here. I just think that similar minds should try to find a method to help each other out.

I don't get how you didn't add me to the list after explaining that my misgivings were incorrect. And if you tell me I am late to sign up --- well.... that sucks. It isn't like you started anything yet.

I guess I am in then-- though your initial explanation is far from obvious to most people- as you can see from some of the responses once you explained what the hell you were doing. You realize very few people have ever heard of this type of contest?

seems like you might have to travel to someplace to take a picture-- so I don't think I can participate based on that. Sort of limited to Phoenix. oh well. have fun

what the heck were you sending that was deemed illegal? I'm sure many of us are curious

My picks---- 10 books 1. Thor 337 3. Avengers Annual 10 6. ASM 210 7. Hulk 449 9. Ms Marvel 12 (double cover) 13. Marvel Spotlight 28 14. Avengers 196 17. X-Men 96 18. X-Men 129 19. X-Men 130 the big boys category 1. ASM Annual 1 3. Fantastic Four 49 4. Fantastic Four 6 good luck

From the Netflix show "I am not Okay with this" -- S1:E4 at the 13:32 mark.

Sonic the Hedgehog movie--- the character reads through an entire stack of Flash comics.... all around 6:58 into the movie

I have Godzilla issues 1, 3, 4, 6, & 8 which I got off the 7-11 rack back in the day. They are all in really nice shape (I graded them out from 8.0 - 9.0, the #1 an 8.5-- nothing crazy high grade). But just buying the rest to read them seems expensive -- and there in comes the reason I am asking you-- an expert Godzilla collector... is there a decent TPB that covers all the Marvel Godzilla run without breaking the bank?

and while not on the cover-- my sources show that DD also appears in ASM 18. I've never read that book myself but it might be one of only 8 early issues where he is donning the yellow duds. Not that I would count that against any collection that had DD 1-6 - a task I have long since given up on. Those may be the only books where he appears in the yellow outfit (not counting reprints like Marvel Tales 11).

Not be to a pain but -- to have a complete set of the yellow costume books-- don't you also need to have ASM 16?

from ballet britches to a strap-hanger web-spinner

These books are not my type of thing but I would never tell someone else that they should not buy them. If they want them-- go for it. Also-- they look to be in pretty excellent shape across the board. As for the claim that there are 500 keys-- I would not take that too seriously as a reason to buy a bag (or 18). That part seems like a bit of a con

speaking of death defying superheroes....

that book sure looks like Copper--- that won't Fly here

ALSO--- That means the last mystery box is (congrats @fatlab123) 2 Lorna, the Jungle Queen H.C.
