I’ve been building my ASM run back up over the last 5-6 weeks. Working on 7.0-7.5 copies of 1-50. I’m settling for this nice 5.0 for now though on the 1. I have the 15 in 7.0 on the way in.  Looking for 4 at the moment. I’ll upgrade the 2 when I see the right opportunity and plan on sending the 3 in for a press and regrade. 

Beautiful series of books!  Congrats and best of luck on the rest of your run :applause:

More 7.0-7.5

The 12 will get graded soon.  Confident it is 7.5 at least. If it gets 8.0 I’m gonna need to downgrade.

TERRIFIC GROUP OF BOOKS THERE RICK!  WAITING TO SEE THE 15, ONE OF MY FAVORITES! 

I’m missing ASM 15 too - failed to get a copy before the price explosion, though I wonder if the book will cool off anytime soon. hm

I think it being an unexpected find makes it all the more exciting as well. I was really hoping to just come away with some of the more recent issues that I'm missing (which I did), and came prepared with cash just in case I came across a 101 or maybe even a 129. Never even considered that there'd be single digit issues. They also had 5, but I figured I'd go for the first Lizard before picking up that one. 

I think I'm lucky they aren't my LCS, because I'd be super broke pretty quick.

I pulled out an OO spider book to read from 1987 and I found this. I thought I would share.

Yeah I'm still annoyed after all the money I spent over the years and I was not invited.:slapfight:  Nice find.(thumbsu

I've been slowly picking away at re-completing my ASM run.  This time, my focus is 1 to 50, with non keys being 8.0 or higher.  Of course, I keep getting sucked into buying nice looking Romita books in the 50's/60's.

Left to go...

5, 10, 22, 23, 26, 32, 33, and 47.
