Notice this 9.6 copy graded in February of this year has a CVA sticker on the top left corner of the slab.

How did this happened since I thought CVA had gone the way of the dinosaur and were no longer in business? 

I noted that as well, leftovers?

Always seemed an odd business model.

I still have a couple rolls of stickers...., don't you?

One more book off the list to complete my X-Men set! I am so close!

Always wanted a copy of this one, so I pulled the trigger last night.

Only one so far.  Probably the only one for me.

I didn't find much "gotta have it" material this time around.  I grabbed these just for the hell of it.

Golden Age tonight. Looks like some neat GGA in there

[DavidTheDavid]

Ya, I've got my eye on one. I haven't even bid on anything in this one, so far.

I love this comic: Neal Adams biggest work for Marvel, Tom Palmer inking, creative Roy Thomas story in the midst of the Kree-Skrull war, and the chapter called 'Journey to the Center of an Android'.

Honestly, I don't know what to do with defects like that, so it's good to see where CGC is at.  Definitely production.

I got sniped on the one book I was after: Green Lama Raboy swastika cover. Oh well, so it goes...

[Drummy]

Great books, everyone!  Here's the scan of the Fantucchio Avengers #28 I picked up -- thanks!

Well done and congrats on this beautiful pickup of yours. 

That's an absolutely fantastic book to have in any collection, especially in that high of a grade.  I still remember way back in the day when this book was considered to be one of the premiere BA books to own, with Neal Adams artwork both inside and on the cover.   

Unfortunately, not so much anymore as that whole beautiful Adams and Smith run from Avengers 93 through to 100 seems to have been forgotten by the collecting marketplace as they haven't really done that much from a pricing point of view over the past couple of decades.  Hopefully, it's day in the sun will return one day soon.

Agreed. And I hope it happens after I finally get my copies...

Yes, absolutely surprised that many of these HG copies still seems to be fetching only around condition guide prices, or in some cases, even less than guide. 

Especially with the new Avengers movie due to come out next year.

I agree. Classic Bronze Age book, containing some superb Adams / Palmer art. One of my favourites. 

Common mistake on the label about it being the first Kree-Skrull War issue, though. (#89)

A close second to #93 for my favourite Adams issue. Beautiful-looking copy.
