How close are you in getting all the Strange Tales? I currently have 118 issues, so a lot more yet to get. I used to be pickier about the grades, but some of these can be so hard to find so I’m loosening my standards.

My focus is on the pre-hero. I am maybe a third of the way there in grades I am happy with. As for the hero books, I will pick up any copy I can find cheap (or keep for free out of collections I have bought). I've got about a third of those in G-VGish. I had a #110 that I traded for at a show I was set up at (came back from CGC 3.0), but decided to sell it to fund other books.

Anybody pick up anything in the last CLink auction? They had a slew of PHMs in the 4.0-6.0 range (unfortunately nothing higher).

Been some slim pickens these last few months from the auction houses.

Check out the ComicConnect event auction preview. Some very nice PHM books in there,  especially TTAs

Thank you sir! Pretty nice selection in there indeed.

Not sure what is going on in some of the pics....at first glance I thought the slab was damaged on the lower right corner. Then I noticed that all of them were the same way (link provided below)

It looks like tape holding together some kind of pouch/pocket. If you look at the bottom edge of the book, you don't see the bottom of the slab. I'm pretty sure that CC takes pics for its auctions, and that pouch/pocket might be there to hold the book in place. You can see it better in the book I've linked below. If that is the case, it's very amateurish looking :eek:

The more I look at them, it like some kind of home-made light box for smartphone pics.
