Getting there little by little ... I'm at 7 as well for my TOS slabbed run...lucky to find one a year. Need like 13 for the TTA slabbed run and 3 for AAF. Almost given up on ST & JIM as the prices have gone crazy. Probably have to lower my grade expectations to even make a dent in those. Always on the lookout for more World of Fantasy (my guilty pleasure run ) Keep up the hunt! -bc Jasonmorris1000000, frozentundraguy, KirbyJack and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting there little by little ... I have a few 1.5's I'd like to upgrade to 1.8's Hahahahhahhhaaa. At least all of mine are complete and hopefully unrestored. I read them all at least once but didn't check for trimming, color touches, etc. Since they're all low grade it wouldn't even be worth the grading fees to send most of mine in. It's a shame though because a CGC case really makes a cruddy copy look special. I am considering sending in JIM 62 and 66 after seeing the action figure on the previous page. bc, Sweet Lou 14, KirbyJack and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too lazy to look in the Vault, but someone used a spray lacquer on the cover of one of my ST books - it's as hard as a board. If it wasn't $10 (and I needed it at the time), I wouldn't have bought it. I'll try and dig it out the next time I'm up there..... -bc KirbyJack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked on Heritage and I don't think they've ever sold a graded copy of 71 above 2.0 back in 2003. -bc I remember buying this copy off eBay around 2001-2002, it was cheap by today’s standards. bc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jayhawker Posted February 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 22, 2021 I got mine about 10 years ago on eBay. I thought I had already had one but I had it mixed up with 87. Prices were starting to go up back then and thought I better buy one soon. Mmehdy, KirbyJack, Jasonmorris1000000 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Frisco Larson Posted February 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2021 I just picked THIS up, as I haven't been able to find a nicer copy for sale. I'm sure that I can find a home for this one if I upgrade. In fact, I already know who's gonna want it! bc, Jasonmorris1000000, KirbyJack and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frisco Larson Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 I should clarity that of COURSE I've seen the 6.5 with Stan's signature on eBay but I have his signature on many other books already and the presence of it on that book doesn't increase it's value over 3 grand in my opinion.

Popular Post Jasonmorris1000000 Posted February 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 24, 2021 (edited) Just for kids? Not true. A colleague of mine wrote his PhD dissertation on Strange Tales #73. I can't remember if Grottu represented original sin or man's inhumanity towards man though.
