You did your brows though so you can add that one there.

Well played, amigo.

Just picked these 3 up as part of a small GA pickup - definitely top 3 of the year

[Get Marwood & I]

Here are my three favourites this year 

The first one is chosen for it's cover, which I love, but also because it represents my current task to try and gather every single Charlton pence variant available to humanity. Cynthia Doyle, Nurse in Love #66:

The second one is a book that's been on my watch list for 800 years - the Miller indicia Rawhide Kid #22 variant. I managed to train a few Jedi while I waited for him to appear:

The last one is Marvel Super Heroes #104, pence copy. This book turned up as a pence copy despite 800 years of research indicating that it wouldn't. But it did. And I liked it

Hey Obi-wan, can you PM me that MIller indicia list please? I have a honey hole with a ton of these westerns that I plan on visiting Monday afternoon!

We got some big ballers on this board

I guess maybe the OA for IH 180 page 32 was just simply... unavailable for him? 

Seriously where would you even keep that stuff? I haven't been on these boards too long so I wonder if anyone ever posted anything of higher value?

Hopefully I'm not done yet as CC auction isn't ending until Friday but these are my 3 favorite so far. 

 

Congrats!! All three books are Silver age royalty! Good luck with more of the same in 2019.

Dinesh, I'm going to go out on a limb and guess your collecting budget is bigger than mine...  

But your goodies remind me of something I think is great about this hobby: there is something for everyone, at every level. I enjoy seeing your grails, and I enjoy seeing someone's oddball Charlton romance that they just treasure. 

Congrats on some lofty acquisitions.

Not the most valuable of the year but favourites none the less.

I'm probably going to resubmit this for screening & possible press regarde. It was graded in 2002 & i suspect it may be too strict after combing thru it under magnification a zillion times. Also love Tuska's art!This was for my love of Morbius & Gill Kane covers. Maybe some movie excitement? The general eye appeal got me on this as the H in "with" on the right edge is notoriously cropped off on many of these This was bought from a boardie here. It doesnt come up too often & the eye appeal overcame the page quality so I couldn't pass it up at a really decent price

There's a couple more X-Men #s 97, 100 on the pipeline but it'll be real quiet after that. Trying to save some scratch for #94.

Yes, by far.

Captain America Comics 1 CGC 9.4

AF15 CGC 9.4 ( although scan I don't think was posted public only private )

OA Action Comics 15

Mid-grade Action Comics 1 and Detective Comics 27

are just a few examples ...

[Gotham Kid]

as an FYI, that same Tec 27 was previously owned by 3 different board members ...

The Allentown is a 9.8, right? Do you know the provenance of the 9.4 you mentioned?

Correct (owned by the late John Verzyl) but scan never actually posted on the boards, at least not publicly. The 9.4 is owned by boardie sartre, along with many other fine books. Been a long time I haven't seen him post in Gold.

Thank you. Yes, sartre was still posting when I joined, but as you say, I have not seen him of late. 

A 9.4 Cap...

Sartre and I are friends. He told me he hasn't posted almost anything since the boards switched over. He's not a fan of the new layout, so he isn't on really anymore.

It's a safe bet to say he's got the 2nd best Timely collection in the world.

Given the mind-numbing scale of the best Timely collection in the world, the second best must be stupefying in much the same way.  

Tell him the new layout hain't half bad and to come back and post. Haven't we all pretty much forgotten by now what we disliked whenever some new improved version is rolled out?

I still don’t like the new layout but have gotten over it to an extent. Based on the drop in posting I think plenty are holding a grudge even after time has passed.

That's a shame, as we are undoubtedly the poorer without them sharing their gems and insights.

I don't collect too much this days,
I am losing interest in the hobby
and slowly moving away from comic books to OA
and even thinking about quitting all together...

Regardless this are my top 3 from 2018:

1 ) A complete set of Batman Year One CGC SS 9.8 signed by Frank Miller
2 ) The Cover of Batman vs Predator II # 4 by Paul Gulacy
3 ) A Captain America Splash page by Andy Kubert

thanks
