Journey Into Mystery #83 Club 18 18

[Frisco Larson]

I've had quite a few copies of this issue over the years (once had 3 at one time) but this is my current and only copy. I doubt I'll ever try to upgrade it.

Oops, I forgot, I have this coverless reader copy too.

My old copy. Found underneath some ratty newspapers in a tub of DC comics.

Unfortunately, when I looked in my tub of comics, all I found were some ratty newspapers at the bottom. I've got to get a magic tub like yours.

The secret to the magic tub is the guard cat 

Inside that tub was a bunch of low and midgrade DC's from the late 50's & 60's that a coworker found when he was clearing out his deceased father-in-laws estate. Underneath the books was some old newspapers lining the bottom. If my cat didn't jump in the empty container and start clawing at the newspaper, I probably wouldn't have noticed the JIM 83 & 85 underneath.

ps - cat got his favorite treat as a finders fee that night

That cat is worth his weight in silver.

I've never owned a single loose page like this ... if I were to look for one, there aren't too many that I would consider more awesome than this one.  May I ask how much something like this costs?  Or did you submit it yourself?

I won this on a Comiclink auction recently.  For $420, I thought I stole it.  I now exclusively collect pages, mainly those that depict sentinel moments in a character's storyline.

Fantastic ... saw your AF 15 page in the other thread, that is awesome.

Been chasing one of these for about two years (looking for no chipping, higher grade, somewhat reasonable, etc. - you know the drill).  Missed on a few but nabbed this 'un for the SA PC Keys and it was easily the hardest one for me to find in grade, but I'm happy as a clam.  This one lets me join the coveted 83 club with pride - if I pass the tests anyway.

Fabulous book; and welcome, prematurely, to the club. We’ll send the forms over.

Number two pencil, please.
