Hey Guys--

OK, I only need 9 more issues of Amazing Spider-Man.

Here's my latest addition -- Amazing Spider-Man #30. It's in VF- (7.5) condition:
...

Very nice addition!

--Tom

Me too!

Got out bid on a NM Amazing Spider-Man #639 sketch variant. Over $150 and it wasn't CGC'd!

Yikes!
Tom

I agree with this 100%.

Peace,
Tom

Um, your PM inbox is full.

Guess what I am going to ask? :-)

--Tom

1. Chuck Berry -- No Particular Place To Go
2. Elvis Presley -- Jailhouse Rock
3. The Beatles (including their solo careers) -- The Inner Light
4. The Supremes (including Diana Ross solo) -- Stop!...

Amazing Spider-Man #2.

Peace,
Tom

The rate at which you add comics to your collection is astounding.

Good luck!
Tom

If it makes you feel any better, the issue you posted #8 is one of the ten that I still need.

Good stuff!
Tom

In honor of adding this comic to my collection, and your passionate recollections, I am going to reread this comic. (From my Amazing Spider-Man Omnibus. This comic is staying in the CGC plastic.)
...

I am in awe of your comic collection, in case I didn't make it clear.

My OCD went a little haywire when some of the Tales of Suspense started to flop/bend when you were displaying them. Again,...

By the way, in case you haven't been checking them out -- Scott Harris's YouTube videos of his comic books are outstanding.

There are videos showing off his Boy Comics, Avengers, Captain America,...

OK, here's my big purchase -- Amazing Spider-Man #2:

This is now the crown jewel in my comic collection. It's...

Good job Scott. I was wondering if anybody made the connection.

I still can't believe I did it. :eek:

As my wife said, it was bound to happen. I just didn't think it would happen this soon.
...

Just made a major purchase... I'm still slightly woozy.

Pictures later this week when the comic arrives.

One step closer to my goal!

--Tom

I used to go to NYC all the time.

It's obvious.

One of those humungous NYC rats ran off with the bag and sold the comics for his heroin habit.

Duh,
Tom

That will be a very impressive run; especially for a young guy. :biggrin:

Says the old guy,
Tom

Thanks Richard! (My wife says she couldn't notice a difference between the upgrade and the original, which made me wonder if was crazy to upgrade...)

--Tom

OK, I couldn't resist -- I upgraded another of the key issues of Amazing Spider-Man...

Here it is:

I look at it one of two ways -- one, if you just want it for yourself because you love Steranko (and who doesn't?) then go ahead. But if you think that you might sell it one day, then you probably...

Nice pick-up!

I still don't have a single golden age comic in my collection... I'm still not even sure what to collect. All-Star Comics would be an amazing run to have. But just way too expensive...

I buy this book because of Deadpool.

I agree with most of you -- the storytelling is jarring to the point of distraction and the double-page spread makes its point but wouldn't it have been better...

Nice videos Scott! I feel like I learned a lot. Thanks!

You really should upgrade that Avengers #131 -- that missing corner made me shudder. :-)

And it's part of my mental defects, but I think...

Jez, signed by Stan?

Just double-checked my spidey collection -- I've got a 9.6/9.8 copy!

Phew! I thought I paid too much at $40...

--Tom

Thanks for all the kind words.

They are appreciated, especially when I feel like I probably spent too much money.

It'll be a couple of months till everything is paid off. :cool:

In the...
