Just back from CGC today.

And with three of the books below, I just completed the entire 388 book set of Marvel Picture Frames in 8.0 or better.

It's an amazing collecting accomplishment, Barton.  

Looks to me that CGC was really rough on those Millie 197s.

So what comes next?

Let me be the first to congratulate you on an amazing accomplishment.  It's got to be satisfying.  How long did it take from start to finish?

Thanks, Paul! 

I started chasing all the PF books in 2009. But I already had most of the hero books by then. I bought a big percentage of those books in the early-mid '90s. So it's either 9 years or 25 years depending on how you look at it.

Thanks, Bob!

The second #197 has a pretty decent-size corner crease on the top right. I was hesitant about subbing it. So I can't argue with that one. The first #197 has a color breaking crease in the middle right part of the front cover. I was hoping for a 9.0.

Upgrades, upgrades, and upgrades are next! (Hopefully.)

Well done Barton.

I'd realistically like to have them all in 9.0 or better. And I'm 3 books short of that. In my dream world, I'd like to have them all in 9.4 or better and I'm 20 books short of that.

The search continues but I'm pretty happy to get this far and complete the set.

 

Well done.

Hard to believe your set could get any better, Barton, but you did it. Congrats on an incredibly impressive accomplishment! I'm only about 375 graded MPF's behind you...

Hurry up and get those upgrades, I'll be watching for more sweet undercopies!

Great books, Paul!

Was able to update my registry set this weeke. I now sit in the #5 slot and am working hard to catch #4.  Time may run out on me before I can catch Bob or Barton.

Hang in there, I won't be holding onto my books forever.

Hello boyo's

Looking to see if anyone has books they would be willing to trade as I try and complete my PF set. I am going to see if this works as I will make a list of duplicates I have and use them as bait to find books I need. Trades can be multiple books for one, or trade/cash deal if that works for you. 

Here are the books.

Sub-mariner 51 CGC 9.4 OW/W Pages. Almost perfectly centered.

Sub-mariner 51 CGC 9.6 White Pages. Perfect centering. 

Sub-Mariner #47 CGC 9.4 OW/W Pages. Perfect centering.

Warlock #1 CGC 9.4 White Pages. Little back to front mis-wrap (less than 1/20 of an inch)

Marvel Team-Up #1 CGC 9.4 White Pages. Nice centering.

Marvel team-Up #1 CGC 9.4 OW/W pages. 

Marvel team-Up #2 CGC 9.4 OW/W Pages. Perfect centering.

Thor #196 CGC 9.6 CRM/OW Pages. Little back to front mis-wrap (less than 1/20 of an inch)

Avengers #98 CGC 9.6 White Pages. Perfect centering.

Fantastic Four #129 CGC 9.6 OW/W Pages. Slight front to back mis-wrap. 

Where Monsters Dwell #15 CGC 9.4 White Pages. Perfect centering.

An upgrade. I'm usually more than happy with a 9.6. But this was very reasonably priced.

Hello all. This thread is amazing. It's nice to know there are so many of you that appreciate this cover design like I do. I currently am also trying to complete the set. I have 170 or so to go. I'll post photos of some of my better books soon.

Heckuva copy. 

I always loved the way Sal B drew Reed and especially his face on this cover.

Some crazy person listed a bunch of Millie the Model Picture Frames in the sales forum. I guess we'll see if anybody besides me chases those books.

A few random ones recently back from CGC.
