Journey Into Mystery #83 - CGC 3.0
Black Knight #1 - Raw - hoping for a 4.0 grade

Man there are alot of big dogs in this place.  I am amazed at the books around here, you guys are truly inspirational.  I dont see any other message boards holding a candle to the quality of books like we have here. 

Says the guy who works his butt off to save up for a couple of major key books every year.

Most of us wish out collections were a third as nice as yours Dave. 

 

Plus who else could win boardie of the year and get a strike with in a week of winning it!!

Well, I'm going against the grain here a bit and posting not an expensive acquisition, but one that I just personally thought was cool to acquire. I've always been a fan of the early Caliber Comics (Gary Reed, J O'Barr, V Locke). So, although not an expensive buy, I was happy to pickup this signed limited edition Vince Locke portfolio in 2019.

Some incredible books posted thus far!  It's always great to see others collecting interests.

My 3rd favorite pickup this year was Captain America Comics #72.  I needed this exact issue to bridge my GA Cap runs of #66-#71 & #73-#78.  I got this book raw and am very happy about the grade and page quality received.  Last 13 issues of Captain America Comics complete.

2nd favorite pickup would have to be Fight Comics #49.  I've always liked this cover and after seeing the 9.6 Mile High copy in person I set out to find myself a 9.0 or better copy.  I figured I'd have to wait a while since there are only six copies known (excluding the MH) but I was able to secure this book in much less time than I expected.  Had a bit of a scare with this book as it was sent to an old address of mine!  Thankfully the new tenants were good people and held it for me 

And my favorite pickup is Captain America Comics #5.  Signed by Stan Lee and Joe Simon.  Restored due to "color touch on cover" but I wouldn't have been able to afford it without it   It's my second book with those two signatures on it.  Sorry for the glare.

Don't really collect comic-books anymore and I'm also now leaning towards collecting Movie Poster paintings (the original artworks, not the cinema-circulated display prints).

Of the OA I bought this past year, here are three highlights for me:

1.  AMAZING SPIDER-MAN # 32 splash page by Steve Ditko (1966).

2.  THE GOLDEN VOYAGE OF SINBAD movie poster OA painting by Brian Bysouth (1973).

3.  THE NIGHT WALKER movie poster conceptual drawing by Reynold Brown (1964).

My Comic Art Fans galleries at:

https://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryDetail.asp?GCat=1865

. . . for other original artworks from my collection (including some For Sale stuff).

I made only 1 purchase for my personal collection this year.  I got it from Foolkiller as a 4.5 I sent in in for pressing to fix the spine, which had a slight curl.  Also, there were some NCB creases on the cover.

Well done, Mike.

2019 wasn't a very eventful year for me, but I was really happy to upgrade my copy of Detective 35 CGC 6.5 MP (R) to a CGC Universal 5.5. With only 1 copy in 8.5 (has never surfaced), 1 in 7.5 and 1 in 6.5 out of a Total of 45 copies, it was the best I could ever hope to get.

Happy Holidays to you John and to all CGC board members !

Peter,

If this is not eventful, I cannot imagine what is.   Wow!!!!!

Congrats!

Merry Christmas, my friend.

I spent way too much this year, but I got some wonderful books. 

Upgraded one of my favorite Sensations, replaced one of my favorite Batmans and I was looking for ANY copy of the Startling for a long time.

 

 

Sharon,

You have a great eye for beautiful books with strong colors.   Amazing.  
 

Great additions.
