Thanks, bc. You and a few others have kept this thread afloat, lately. Kudos!!:applause:

Here are a few more I had time to scan.

Love this copy of ole Broccoli Head !

And the TOS 5 ain't too shabby either. Beautiful books sir! :golfclap:

Glad to keep this thread alive. After being a lurker for almost a decade watching you, adamstrange, Korvac, bronty and others post these gems, it's the least I can do. Gotta thank kirbyjack and mysterio as well for keeping this support group going.

Well, I'm on a roll here. More of my fav title.

Hard to believe, but this one and the #77 are third highest grades at 8.0. :whatthe:

Kirby classics.

Highest graded copy at only 8.5!  Probably had a low sales total. A rather drab and somewhat campy Kirby cover.

This guy can sure hold his breathe, not to mention a high tolerance to cold. :insane:

Sorry guys, I cannot seem to delete the extra images., so, will move on to ST # 99  Bethlehem copy and highest grade.

Got this from one of out boardies who sold out a few years ago. Much appreciated, Bill for this beautiful copy.

Stunning books sir!(worship)

That 75 & 77 set are amazing and the 99 almost looks like it just came out of the spinner rack!

All the PHM Strange Tales are tough in the upper grades - like to think they were loved so much the owners just re-read them to death.

Thanks for sharing these beauties!

Thought I'd post a few that I have not shown in years.

Another 8.5 as highest graded.

From the Edenwald collection. Just an incredible compilation of PHM books, mostly all in top condition.

The scarcer 12 cent variant. I have a raw copy of the regular issue.

WOW ! 

Have a couple of Edenwalds as well. Mine obviously didn't have the Glad Wrap baggies as they aren't anywhere near this gorgeous copy.

The WOF18 was the first slabbed PHM I got back in Nov 2008 (can't believe thats 10 years gone). Got the WOF19 a few months later.

Sort of surprised by the census - the 18 is a second highest and 19 is tied for highest.
