had to share this- i moved recently and in the process, moved these from a few bank boxes to another in my new hood. these had never all been in one room together before. it's not my whole collection, but it's the stuff i consider valuable enough to keep in a bank box. 

If I had all these issues in these grades, I would hire an armed guard to protect them. VERY impressive!

Here is a group shot of some of my drek that I'm finally bagging and boarding. Trouble is I have a tendency to read them again as I do this.

Here is a group shot of my TTA pedigrees that I've been slowly collecting over the last 13 years.

I wanted to try to get a good sample of pedigrees.

Big Apple, Boston, Don/Maggie, Mile High 2( though not recognized as a ped now I just have one book) Northland, Oakland, Pacific Coast, Rocky Mountain, Savannah, Susha News,  Twin Cities, Western Penn, Winnipeg and White Mountain.

Very cool. 

I don't own a single pedigree. Just never found the right book at the right time.

Holy crabs.  Kudos!  And I must be drunk cuz I see doubles of THESE keys.  That can't be...fair!

AF #15 has always been out of reach for me.  I haven’t got the patience to save up that much money.

[Drummy]

Great collection there, congrats!  I guess an ASM #1 will suit the bill for Spidey?

Years and years ago a friend of mine was selling his AF #15 graded universal 4.5 for $5000.  I was newly married and had just bought a house, so yeah...  Then it seemed right after that they exploded in price and I went “Holy (bleep). I had better buy an ASM #1 as quickly as possible.”

[KirbyJack]

Yep. I’m calling it good with an ASM 1, also.

If you don't mind me asking, how do get a photo like this? Do you stand on a ladder or chair? I want to take a picture of my Avengers #1 -#16 run.

[KirbyJack]

I stand on a chair. (Look out for ceiling fans)
16 shouldn’t be too hard, go for it!

I learned this lesson the hard way. This happens far more often than I would like.

I'm 6'1 and used my cell phone. Looking at the pic it does look bizarre. 

[Math Teacher]

Here is a picture of my Avengers #1 - #16 run, which I completed in late November. I know the picture could be improved, but I'm not a professional photographer, nor do I play one on TV. All issues are 6.0 or above, except for #1 and #4. Maybe someday I will upgrade those books, but certainly not anytime soon.

Sweet.  Being a math teacher myself, I also appreciate that it’s 4 by 4.  I’m not sure, but I think I might have financed some of those for you.  Do you sell CGC 9.8’s on eBay of Swamp Thing 1980’s and Alan Moore comics?  I’ve bought a bunch from someone who uses Math tests as packing.
