Strange Tales Collecting Thread !

A for this thread into 2012 with three books I got back from CGC in today's mail:

Awesome copy (thumbs u

Thanks, I was very happy with it myself!

KILLER books guys! My latest ST pickup...

Finally got an old thorn out of my paw!

The first time a 9.6 came up (White Mountain copy) my internet jammed just as I placed a bid (would have won too).

When another 9.6 copy came up, it arrived damaged in shipment.

Finally, Doug must have upgraded his copy and I discovered this little gem for sale, and it is safely in my greedy little hands

Only took about 6 years of searching...

...Hmm. Your story seems to indicate that something can indeed halt Voltorg.

Sorry, couldn't resist. Great copy! Love those P.C.s!

Straight from Hong Kong....GOD BLESS...

Very nice.

My grail too.... Not too ambitious in the grail stakes really though.

I understand that you are probably thinking in terms of expense but I would politely disagree on the grounds of comic history.

It would be a very fine addition to any collection that has a focus on early Marvel or Steve Ditko.

I am referring to expense. Which suits me, as Doc Strange is my favourite Marvel character and the only one where I can realistically expect to put together a full SA run. I'll be lucky to match that 7.0 copy of ST 110 though.

I would also add that I feel this is under-valued book and, for that reason, hope to pick up a copy sooner rather than later.

Really like the ST 110; I just picked up a ST 115 so the 110 hunt is on.

Another raw pickup for me, no Ditko Dr. Strange but a book I decided was worth having nonetheless:

As a Fantastic Four guy, Strange Tales is a must-have run. Those early Torch adventures, annuals, The Thing in a Beatle wig, the occasional Kirby story and so many little keys! Just so cool.

Doc is without question the star of the show, but even without him, Strange Tales is a really fun title.

Glad you said that - I can't recall where I heard this (probably because I wasn't collecting SA at the time), but someone related that the early (pre-Doc) Strange Tales issues weren't very good.

I read some reprints and disagreed, so I've already picked up 102, 104, 105, and 107 all CGC'd. They'll get de-slabbed one day, but right now I have plenty of other ST issues to read and enjoy.

Just got this one...How cool is this cover?

Cool cover, great innards, all-around amazing comic!

Came across this raw beauty today - don't see these early ST in such nice shaps as compared to other titles, or so it seems.

It's white on the inside, too.
