Truth is, Danny, most of us - you and me included - are happy to settles for nice raw copies we bought last century. My 318 is raw but pretty and I could have it CGC graded though the result could be disappointing. Edited August 11, 2018 by steelcity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelcity Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 (edited) Legion covers on Adventure Comics prior to #300 are very special. The vivid burnt orange background on Sun Boy's debut in #290 is very striking indeed. This issue is fairly easy to find in high grade, even in CGC 9.4. I bought a CGC 9.4 copy back in 2004 but somehow never liked it as much as the raw copy I bought many years earlier (included below). Recently I saw a CGC 8.5 with white pages and rich colors and thought that should be what my CGC 9.4 ought to look like so I bought it. Adventure #293 is one of the very best Legion covers. Again, this book is not hard to find in high grade. I am more than pleased with the CGC 9.4 copy Stephen Fishler found for my collection in 2005. I have not been tempted to upgrade. My first CGC copy was an 8.5 off ebay. After I bought that copy my good pal Silver made contact with me for the first time, by email. In those days my ebay ID was my email address. He wanted to ask why I had paid so much for a VF+? Pure lack of common sense, of course. So that is the origin of how Silver and I first "met" though we have never actually have.

Ever since I bought Gerber’s Photo Journals in 1990 I have based a lot of my comic book collecting on covers. Adventure Comics covers generally are very appealing. The Shooter stories are also my most memorable LOSH tales. aardvark88 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
