Randall Ries Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 7 minutes ago, the authority said: Threw an ad up on Facebook and a guy says he has Avengers Annual #10 for sale. Sends a pic showing just the top book with a string wrapped around it. The comic was obviously bent at the edges and I was getting ready to thank him and tell him I wasn’t interested when as he sent the side view picture of all of them. His dad owned a comic shop/video store. He sold everything except this one box which he simply forgot about it. It had these, a Power Pack stack, and a Web of Spidey Annual #2 stack. He said his dad didn’t save this particular book on purpose, he just missed the box when he closed down. I believe that better than 75% of them are at least 9.4 with maybe 12-15 in the 9.6 range. With a lot of luck, maybe I’ll get a gift 9.8 but I doubt it. That’s the story.😊 That's a great story! Thanks for sharing it. The string on the stacks freaked me out a little. But you are going to get them all graded? Link to post Share on other sites

But you are going to get them all graded? Graded 41 of the 49. There were 3 that were absolutely destroyed and 5 that I think are between 8.0 to 8.5. I’ll let you know how it turns out but it’s going to be a while. I didn’t fast track anything. HotKey and Randall Ries 2 Link to post Share on other sites
the blob Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 (edited) Starlin's signatures leave something to be desired... Anyway, picked this one up and another Starlin SS book earlier this year for about/less than what it would have cost me to buy a decent copy and get it slabbed/SS. I guess Starlin signs a lot? He is/was a cheap signature. I actually got this for about the same price as a non-SS cgc 8.0 sold for a couple of weeks earlier. I am not obsessed with the sigs, but if I am not paying a premium for one I don't mind for an artist or writer I really like. These guys from my childhood are all in their 70s and 80s now.

Yes they are. I’m sure that’s why there’s no mention on the label. Thankfully 3D Man didn’t make the Agents of Atlas cut. Also Namora isn’t in this issue Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post Kramerica Posted February 28 Popular Post Share Posted February 28 Just purchased a few books for myself. I always call it a late Christmas present. I'll still be posting pickups here in October and calling them late Christmas presents. As if I have to justify the purchase of such gems. The WBN #15 is courtesy of @JmC and the Man-Thing and Monster of Frankenstein are courtesy of The Lizard King @lizards2 and the Defenders came via auction.
