  1. I am in for another finish in the bottom third of the field.
  2. Picked up these Bronze Age Spideys from a Craigslist ad. In looking at my existing 143 compared to the new one the blue/purple stood out but upon further review it’s just fading.
  3. Yes the bottom pics are after. Not great pics but it is actually a little flatter. Just some serious water damage. Took a flyer and results were a little better than before.
  4. Found a local guy on Facebook advertising cleaning and pressing for 15 bucks. Went over to his house and checked out his work. He has a ASM run from 40 to 400. Beautiful books. I had recently purchased a low-grade ASM 59 with water damage and said what the heck. Here are some before and after pics. Don’t know why they show upside down.
  5. Craigslist pick up. Definitely lower to mid grade. The 147 may be the worst condition comic I now own. 3 were missing MVS. But the price was right and ASM has always been my favorite. Hardly ever find anything on craigslist anymore but there’s a few here and there.
  6. Yeah I get head faked by those plaques on FB all the time!
  7. Just read The Road by Cormac McCarthy. A story about a man and his son making their way through a post-apocalyptic world. Brutal imagery and savagery. My first McCarthy book and might try some others.
  8. I had a subscription also but the copies I got that way were after Marvel started mailing them flat. I guess I bought the first few off the rack and liked it enough to get a subscription. I am too old to remember now! Still have them though. 1-25. Didn’t know or remember that the title continued and fantastic four. I’ll have to look and see if I have those FF issues.
  9. Dave Hornish blogs on all things Topps and I don't think this has been posted. Probably way more info than all but a few are interested in: The Topps Archives: 1975 Topps Comic Book Heroes
  10. I have what is known in golf as a "two way miss" going. Some above, some below the actual grades. Not good.
  11. A guy that I had purchased about 150 comics from several years ago via Craigslist called and said that he found some more comics at his parents house. Went over to check them out and struck a deal! Mixed bag condition wise. The Star Wars is Very Fine-ish and the Kiss does not have the poster. I have two Star Wars #1s, but both are reprints that I bought when they came out. One Whitman and one with the reprint in upper left cover. Happy to have an original!
  12. Marvel Premiere 28 continues to buck the downward trend. I sold the one I had years ago. marvel premiere 28 for sale | eBay
  13. 3.0-3.5 as is. I don't have enough experience with C & P to tell if it would help. If those creases are color breaking then it wouldn't. Great book nonetheless.
  14. My best round ever in the two contests I’ve been in! Three bullseyes. Had Strange Tales at 6.5 and Subby at 2.5.
