This Week in Your Bronze Age Collection!! 35 35

Went to the latest HA auction intending to buy a few golden age comics, ended up shifting gears and rather only winning this amazing issue (Been wanting a high grade copy of this cover for awhile, and it being a black pedigree just fits so well with the aesthetic). I think I've decided that other than keeping an eye out for specific golden age grails (as always), my 2020 year will focus on getting high grade bronze issues I've always loved but only ever bought reader copies of as a kid.

Well, that didn't take long. As I just mentioned my previous post, my goal of 2020 was to be finding bronze keys in higher grade...well, figured I would look and ended up buying this after I posted here since it was a good deal.

So, yeah...my 2020 goal is technically complete as this was my MAIN Bronze key I wanted graded (I own a low grade raw already, as I do with all my favourite books: One graded to display like art, and another raw copy I can give to people to read if they are interested and want to experience the original comic). I didn't want to go higher grade than this as the prices are just crazy (When I buy most key comics I like purchase issues that are no lower in grade than the 'threshold' grade, a term I think I coined. I define a 'threshold grade' as that is which grade point has the MOST comics in that bracket - in this case 361 copies in 7.0, so I don't go below that ever (often trying to at least get a .5 point above it if financially possible, in this case I didn't).

Hello to all. I haven't posted in a while due to personal and work responsibilities.

Here's my latest find, and very happy with it.

 Congrats!!

I'm glad it's held value, but after the Netflix that bumped it a bit, it didn't come back down. I'm a little surprised is all, with the amount of copies and all!

Well, I received my Comiclink wins today and it’s a bit of a wash. 
 

The #61 is nice and was the one I was chiefly interested in due to presenting so well with a predominately black cover. The bottom corner of the front cover is bent in a bit, not sure if that’s some post-slabbing damage. 
 

The #60 I was primarily interested in as a book to help split the shipping cost. I have a raw copy that looks almost as nice as this copy.  The last couple of days before the auction ended I kept telling myself to check my raw copy for condition but never got around to it before the auction ended. 
 

So I pull the book out today and there’s a post-it note saying “As-Is” and a see a little piece of plastic floating at the bottom of the slab and I’m like WTH?

So I look back at the listing and sure enough there’s a note about the damaged slab. 
 

I think I remember seeing the note when Clink first posted the book prior the auction’s start, but at the time I wasn’t seriously thinking about bidding. 
 

Guess I forgot about it and by the time I decided to bid the books I was focused on the pictures and not the description. 
 

And my obliviousness cost me the opportunity to bid on a different book to split shipping, or at the very least have Clink send it to CGC for reholdering.  

Anyway, wasn’t the fun package I was hoping for.
