Beautiful, inclusive collection! Are you complete on Pre Hero Marvel, Frisco?

Thanks KJ!!! No, I still need quite a few I'm afraid. I may find a few more as I keep going thru boxes, but I sold off a LOT of them when I shifted toward Golden Age. I actually had mostly F/VF-ish on up type copies, most with killer paper, as they were easier to find back then. Now that I am getting them organized, I will have an actual list so I can fill the holes. Fun books for not a ton of dough. :banana:

I used to have them all. They were the go-to convention get; if the big item I was chasing wasn’t there, I’d console myself with low grade, fill-in pre heroes.

Always fun, and back then, almost zero competition for them!

Still fun to this day!!!  :banana:

I'm not sure if there's much in the way of competition for the lesser grade copies but I see high grade being tough to get.

All the HG stuff tends to be in slabs and cost prohibitive, give me low grade raw readers any day :banana:

You know I dig 'em!!! I've been posting low and mid grade copies (don't really have any HIGH grade issues) and when I found a duplicate, a buddy snapped it right up before it even had a chance to hit the market! :headbang:

I have all low grade (inclusive) PHMs,

but I used to have a handful of really nice copies. These books in grade are real head turners. I completely understand the allure of owning high grade copies. bc’s 8.5s are stunning.

:headbang:  Love to see all the new posts & thanks for the kind words guys!

Sorta weird that there are only 178 PHM issues - but somehow I have accumulated a little over 300 of them (almost 2 sets worth). There's 1 fully packed short box of inclusive raws and 4 full short boxes of Vault-worthy slabs (at about 30 slabs per box, that's about 120 slabbed copies done). I still pick up more at conventions as well (1Cool often does advanced scouting for me :) )

Here's a few from the Vault for a Friday

Gotta get back to work - recently got involved in a new tech startup opportunity. Have a great weekend all!
