Just because fit perfectly in your collection...?

$shrug$

Let’s say that you are a completionist,
and want a complete run of CGC 9.8 SS “Spectacular XYZ-Man” # 1-100.

But # 83-87 Are draw by Rob Liefield,
and you really hate this period.

But you want a complete run of the book...

Would you buy them...?

cgcworld cgcworld FACT if I stop posting, trillions and trillions of transistors would be out of work. Registered: 09/04/03 Posts: 4099 Loc: Headed for Fort Benning	Nope...once upon a time I was collecting only SA Marvels from the White Mountain pedigree and the WM copy of FF #24 shows up for auction on Clink (a 9.6 if I remember correctly). Anyways I hate/detest/loathe the cover on that book and asked myself why I would pay 3-5k on a book I hate/detest/loathe and a few weeks later all my White Mountains were made available via Highgradecomics.com (shameless plug for my friend) Jim _________________________ " Having been at the lunch where this picture was taken (last year's NYCC), I can attest to the friendship you all shared from an outsider's perspective. I was just e-mailing with a buddy of mine and fellow boardie, who was also at that lunch, that you could just tell that these guys had a level of friendship that you just don't often see in adults of that age. I honestly thought you guys had been friends for years! My heart really goes out to you guys and all of his family! " dem1138 July 24/09 3:16PM
