creaturefan95 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) Until recently, the only Silver Age Thor comics I owned were these two freebies from my favorite store (a coverless Thor #131 and Thor Annual #2 with no back cover): Edited August 27, 2020 by creaturefan95 war is hell RayJr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not until 2013 is when I started learning more about the grades. I still have a lot that are not NM but it doesn’t really bother me because they are my books. Besides free books are always good no matter the conditions 😂 B2D327, creaturefan95, Jasonmorris1000000 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirbyJack Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 The majority of my JIM/Thor run is low grade. I used to intentionally pass up better copies to fund more purchases. Jasonmorris1000000, piper and RayJr 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasonmorris1000000 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I got this one for $250 12 years ago because the cover is detached. It sure presents nice though in my opinion. I’d much rather have a defect like this vs a kid drawing all over Thor. I just found out today that the owner of the store where I got this one from has COVID-19. Luckily I hear his symptoms aren’t too severe. HighVoltage, KirbyJack, creaturefan95 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been trying to find an 8.0+ of this book. I see a lot of 7.0s and 7.5s, along with 9.2s and 9.4s. I'm more interested in 8.0 or 8.5. Just a little bit more affordable. piper and Jasonmorris1000000 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I didn't know his name was Skurge. Did he use his patented double-bladed battle axe? I could be wrong, but I think I remember him using guns in Thor: Ragnarok. But based on my current ability of memory, I could be WAY off-base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suddenly I realized that I am missing my copy of 177 from where it is supposed to be. This book is one of my old school (from when I was collecting in the 1970s) portion. So I don't think it is somewhere else and i am at a loss to figure out where it could have gone. Hoping it might be in one of the other short boxes just misplaced. wish me luck. Not sure I want to start searching just yet. On 7/1/2020 at 8:40 PM, 01TheDude said: more annoying than that is I gave it a grade of 8.0 maybe that is tonight's project. Not sure why I said 8.0 - it is graded to a 6.0 Boom! Finally found it after getting inspired by the lost book thread on Comics General. It was simply misplaced in the box - out of position next to Thor165 instead of tucked between it's 176-178 buddies. creaturefan95, namisgr, HighVoltage and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
