Hepcat Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 52/98 complete: Do you break out the slabbed copies so that you can put them with the rest of your Sugar and Spike run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1950's war comics Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 You are just kidding about cracking out the #2 slab right? Silver has in my opinion some of the finest affordable registry sets in the system, and probably some of the most interesting to read , I have learned more from reading Silver's Superboy registry set gallery than any other I have encountered. it is so informative that it has almost driven me to collect Superboy's. His Sugar and Spike registry set is amazing and inspires envy, and HAS driven me to start collecting them, although I fear I will never find the first two issues, if I do acquire those fist two issues ( regardless of grade if the are blue label/complete) I may get the first 20 issues CGC graded and start a registry myself although it would pale to Silvers collection.

Hepcat Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 You are just kidding about cracking out the #2 slab right? No I am not. I thought Silver's Sugar and Spike collection was mostly raw like his Superman comic collection. The latest in project Sugar and Spike...a liberated CGC 8.0, nice looking copy: Silver has in my opinion some of the finest affordable registry sets in the system, and probably some of the most interesting to read , I have learned more from reading Silver's Superboy registry set gallery than any other I have encountered. it is so informative that it has almost driven me to collect Superboy's. His Sugar and Spike registry set is amazing and inspires envy, and HAS driven me to start collecting them.... Interesting. I didn't know write-ups were possible as part of the Registry. Maybe I'll look into these at some point. FoggyNelson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1950's war comics Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Oh you have yet to peruse the CGC galleries Hepcat? Wow that is half the fun of this CGC website, searching for and finding those rare individual collections that people put their heart and soul into with both detailed descriptions and photo's, especially classic older sets.

Hepcat Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Hmmmm. I take it there's no link to the CGC Registry from this board. Should I understand that the CGC Registry is separate from this board and that I cannot use my Hepcat login to view the CGC Registry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1950's war comics Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 You don't need a separate pass word to explore the registry , just type in: CGC registry at the top of your computer and click on the registry option which will bring you to the main CGC page, from there click the registry tab and at the bottom it says "explore the registry" start out by searching under the letter S and see Silvers great Superboy set.

Silver Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 52/98 complete: Do you break out the slabbed copies so that you can put them with the rest of your Sugar and Spike run? Kind of, I mostly break them out of slabs so I can read them and enjoy the interiors. Putting them in a Mylar and placing them with rest of the set is part of the ritual. Currently I have a few issues still in slabs because the whole process is kind of like a ritual and I haven't really had the time to sit and enjoy it like I want to. I have quite a few slabs to crack at the moment. Anyone want to come over and have a slab cracking party? FoggyNelson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are some kind words, thank you. I love collecting comics, the registry is a fun thing to participate in. FoggyNelson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 This piece is pretty rare Unless I can somehow get you to part with that, would you mind taking some photos of the interior to post here?

1950's war comics Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 My apologies to Hepcat as I have just read that Silver does both register and then crack out his books I was unaware of this until reading his above thread.
