I've finally begun selling some of my collection. I just shipped off my #13 and 46, #'s 9, 15, and 20 I let go of a week back. I should post the pictures I have of what I had scanned with my old PC. Maybe tomorrow, I am going to miss these books. I loved collecting them all, and reading every one back in the 70's. My 9.0 AF15 I'll keep for sure, and my Annual 1, and my new ASM 50 signed my Romita and Lee. Check out my registry, it will be shrinking soon. Night,

You own a 9.0 AF15? That's incredible!

What's the story? How many years ago did you pick it up? What did you pay? Did you always intend on holding on to it?

Sorry to hear that you are parting with such a wonderful collection.  I for one would love to see you post the scans of the books so I can enjoy them with you one last time.

My AF15 is a restored copy I decided on when I saw the prices for high grades going way out of my league. I sold my original two raw books when they came back as a blue 5.5, and a 6.0 purple. The trimmed 9.0 I bought shortly after, broke it out and then sent it to NY where Stan signed it. It remained a 9.0 in purple/yellow, and I like it more than the two mid grade copies I had.

That seems like a great idea, very well thought out.  And, that's a very nice looking book.

Some nice books guys. And dst cool details on how you got af15 and asm1. For me it' been awhile since I bought any early as books. Just to many bills to worry about to sink money on books that are more then 50 to 70 dollar range. And mostly just been sticking to current pull list books. And maybe a more cheaper 200s to 400s Era ones. Some other time I will post pics of early ones I have some time.

That book & sig is just freaking bonkers man :whatthe:! Congrats on finding a clean sig like that! It should have like 80 million likes or something!

Have you posted a picture of the AF15? You must have bought it many years ago? I don't think I've seen too many 9.0s.

Edit: I just saw the post with the AF15. Restored or not it's a huge gem!
