Jordysnordy's Savage Sword of Conan Collection 2 2

Starting off the final group with a great Norem cover.

This completes the series.

I have bought a few "upgrades" which I should have shortly and I will post them once I have them.

 

 

I also collect this series. Have a want list. Maybe I can buy some of your dupes if they are not true dogs. Nice VF copies are up my alley if you have any.

The upgrades I have coming are for the following:

6

10

11

Annual 1

220-234 are some of the hardest to find in high grade due to the low print run towards the end of the series.

I was lucky enough to buy these when they came out.

You linked the wrong page creep! I wanted a higher grade of this issue. Possibly a graded one.

Great collection @Jordysnordy
What really gets me with this series, and maybe it's all magazine or even painted covers in general, is the use of the color blue. It really pops on these painted covers.
Here are a couple of my favorites:

I'm going to cheat and add this in here.

I added one of them to my Conan magazine collection as well. Not cheating.

Where it all started ( Well Savage Tales may have a say in that!)

 

Congrats - you've got some amazing mags! 

Going through your thread I'm still convinced I shouldn't collect much more than the first 10 or 15 issues, it's simply too much work. I think it took me 7 years just to collect the first 10 mags

It certainly is an ambitious project but I'm a long term collector so the long process to find all the books was a labor of love, not a chore. Even after all these years of collecting, it still gives me a thrill when I'm able to find an upgrade. But I do see your point. And if you ever decide to sell your Savage Tales run - please send me a PM - that is a crazy set. A CGC 9.8 Savage Tales set is in my future.

Good luck with the sets  and of course it's not a chore collecting these great mags, although it's time consuming -  especially the time I spend manually searching for CGC books on the web, and currently I spend much time searching for art.  I'll let you know if I ever consider moving some of these mags

I agree that it is very time consuming - the web is both a curse and blessing when it comes to collecting. I have a pretty high grade run of SSOC but the OCD in me keeps me looking for better copies . I've been collecting SSOC for 25+ years    I think a CGC run would may put an end to that but I"m not sure!

I bid on a Savage Tales 5 9.8 in Sunday's HA auction and lost -  it didn't have WP so I didn't put a great bid in - it sold for $227.05 with BP

You'll probably get another shot at #5 soon, there are 25 9.8s in the Census - but MyComicShop has #9 CGC 9.8 with pure WP - and there are just 3 copies in the Census - and because I've got one, there are really just 2 mags out there 

http://www.mycomicshop.com/search?ItemID=41724056

Originally I only wanted 9.8s with pure WP and near-perfect centering in my Savage Tales set, but after a few years my collection was going nowhere - so I've settled for 9.8s with OW-W or WP, maybe I'll upgrade some OW-W mags whenever possible (then again maybe one of my friends is right - he keeps saying that WP is not that important, in some decades everything printed before 1980 will be OW or worse; still I love the idea of trying to get the best possible page quality )

BTW, I just noticed your truly amazing Spidey collection - and AF SS #15 in 7.5  I'm trying to collect a few Romita Spidey books in CGC 9.6 or 9.8 with pure WP, and I thought collecting Conan mags was hard

Generally I am happy with off white to white pages - it is a subjective process. Look at these 2 Godzillas. It was originally off white - white and then I sent to get signed and it came back with white pages. For this reason, I usually don't pay a big premium for WP. I prefer better centering if I had to chose between the 2 but I generally will not buy a book that has less than off white pages. (unless it's a hard to find book or something I really need to have).

I'm sure many of the Romita books that you are looking for will be rare in 9.8 with WP - there aren't many around, especially when you consider most are 50+ years old.
