JIM 112 is getting pricey. My LCS just got in a very similar copy and I got a good slap of sticker shock.

I looked up their ebay win-- they got a heck of a good deal- especially for a graded book.

With only ten seconds remaining in the auction, I placed my max bid and was so surprised to have won it for $52!

$66 shipped - it was a steal. Either that or I have over-graded/valued my copy of the book. 

I would prefer a raw 3.5, but the one auctioned off by Infinity Comics, which ended an hour and thirty-nine minutes after winning my slab, went for $107.50!

Now that I finished with my ASM run, I'm starting to assemble important SA books and cool covers in the Thor pantheon (JIM, Mighty Thor).

There's some obvious must haves:

JIM 83 (have one!), 85, 86, 89, 103, 112, 114, 118, 121

Thor 126, 133, 134, 158

What am I missing?  I'd love to collect them all but don't have the space...

Fun question!  Personally I would tell you to get them all.  :whee:

But since you're trying to be selective, here are some of my favorites among the books you didn't mention.  I've bolded a small handful to indicate the ones I think should be highest priority.

  • 84 - 2nd Thor (obviously) and also scarce, which makes it a good one to have
  • 93 - 1st Radioactive Man
  • 97 - 1st Tales of Asgard
  • 102 - 1st Balder, Hela, and Sif
  • 104 - I have always loved this cover
  • 109 - vs. Magneto
  • Annual 1 - 1st Hercules and Zeus
  • 124 - Awesome Hercules cover
  • 127 - Awesome cover (if you look closely you will see this cover hanging on the wall of Mr. Glass' art gallery in Unbreakable)
  • 137 - 1st Ulik
  • 148 - 1st Wrecker
  • 150 - Awesome Hela cover
  • 153 - Awesome cover
  • 154 - 1st Mangog (although the next 2-3 covers are much better)
  • 160 - vs. Galactus
  • 165 - 1st full Him / Adam Warlock
  • 168 - Origin of Galactus
  • 193 - Past the Kirby era, but it's Buscema and some consider it a poor man's companion to Silver Surfer #4

Bonus books if you're looking for all-time great Thor covers:

  • Avengers #12
  • Daredevil #30
  • Silver Surfer #4

Hope that helps!
