I also got these. I’ve very pleased with the condition, they’re very nice NM copies...but they have just enough and the right kind of defects that I don’t think they would be worth submitting...which is a shame because a couple of them are very close. 
 

 

I bought these off the rack back in the day.  As goofy as that show was, I loved it and these books were even better.  Great find.

Yeah, I watched the show as a kid when it originally ran in the 70’s. Back then I liked all of it; now I’m much more a fan of the first season, second season is cheap and cheesy. 
 

I didn’t even know there were comics until I found a copy of Six Million Dollar Man #1 at swap meet in my early teens, I think there was an ad for Space: 1999 in that. 
 

The comics seem to get all the love because of the early Byrne stuff. I actually like the magazines better and think they’re more in line with the mood of the show.

The Charlton Magazines are just crazy hard to find in my experience, though.  For all the TV Tie-ins.

This is the only one I have:

I love this set.  The mags are harder to find than the comics.  Hardest to find seems to be issue #4.

There is a decent pair for sale on ebay.  The listing is for #3 AND #4.

Sweet books. #1 sold last night in CGC 9.8 for around $500 On comicconnect.   Nice price but hard to find.

Yeah, initially I tried to have a go at that book, but I don’t have GPA so I was just going with what I felt comfortable with...which only got me about half-way. There’s only 8  9.8s on the census so there may not be that many sales, GPA may not have been much help anyway. 
 

Love the book and the series, but it got way too rich for my blood. 
 

I noticed CC was pimping it as part of the “Yonkers Collection”, don’t know if that had anything to do with the final price. 
 

I’ll have to tell my wife when I die to consign my books to CC so they can dub it the “Armpit of California Collection” and get her more money.

I think I may have an addiction to mags. A lot going out this week, but couldn’t stop myself from bringing a few more home.

All great grabs but these two are, in my opinion, very special books.  Nice pickups, sir!! :headbang:
