Thank you! I have a copy of the original as well, hopefully that gets sent in soon for grading!

@@SwarmofComics Mines a 9.0 but looks great. I might eventually try to get it repressed and try for a grade bump.

@@skytripa you are brave! I can't bring myself to do a CPR, ha! I'm hoping mine comes in around a 9.0. I got it for a good deal at a little con, and I felt it was really good, but not perfect.

@@SwarmofComics The only thing that had me thinking about it is the graders notes. It says light spine stress line to cover.

Thaaaaaaank you!

I walked into my LCS and he had just put one up on the wall, so I snagged it before the thumbtack could even settle. I knew it wasn't a very high grade, but it was so cheap it was worth it.

Thank you! I used to own it, and I usually have a rule of not re-buying books I already sold...but that's such a classic cover I had to do it. Plus the book was dirt cheap.

It must be so tedious, I'm with you. I don't know how they do it. Maybe they handle it by just making grades up and actually doing no work? 🤣

Yes you were, and I wish you guys knew how much I appreciate the support <3

I don't know. That's a great question. I think both books were PROBABLY not 9.8s, and I was just being greedy hoping for it?

Sergio is an institution! I was so happy to get the book signed and get photos with him! I think he thought I was insane, ha!

I love that idea! Might as well throw in Gorgeous George and make it a barn burner! And THANK YOU!!! <3

Is it the one in the Energon universe with GI Joe? I have collected Cobra Commander, Destro, and Scarlett, but I've barely read any of them. I just know Megatron was in Cobra Commander.

@@SwarmofComics Yea that’s the one! The first arc or six issues were both written and drawn and Daniel Warren Johnson are fantastic. Just buy the trade paperback because it’s worth reading multiple times. Jorge corona took over the art but DWJ continued writing and Mike Spicer is one of the best colorists today. As for the rest of the energon universe, void rivals and Duke were my favorites. Cobra commander was decent and important. But just read Duke and Transformers and you’ll be happy.

And Jorge kills the art BTW!

@@gregparker7163 that's what i now plan to do, grab the trade! Thanks for the recommendation!

@@SwarmofComics whoop whoop! Can’t wait to hear what you think about it!

When we were kids, Bronze-Age Bill and I used to say, "sign-keh-wits". HOW WERE WE SUPPOSED TO KNOW?? Thanks for being my pall and all the support!

HA!! Thanks Cousin Matty!

Thank you!! These comments mean a lot. Much appreciated.

WHOA. WHAT???

It was weak on that corner because of a small crease at the corner 😮 boy was I shocked. They can be hard on older books

@@justinmyers5209 I'm so impressed you have that book. It's iconic!

Yea I got lucky a long time ago. Wish I would have grabbed more big books back then but at least I went at it pretty good

@@justinmyers5209 I feel the same. I wish I could go back in time and tell my younger self not to buy garbage like Speedball and Aquaman, and spend that monthly book money on CLASSICS.

Thanks Nando! <3

DAMMIT! That sucks, man! I've been lucky so far. Thankfully this wasn't a very expensive book, but that's a HUGE corner to be missing, so it still sucks.

Thank you!!

Ha!!!

We are going to do a follow up and go through a bunch of books and see what might be worth slabbing! Plus I sent off a few other books to CGC that should be back this week!

@@TheLowerPlayfield ha! Thank you!!!

Thank you, that's good info to know! I have a video coming out soon with an even COOLER Captain Midnight book! Stay tuned!

@@delightfullydysfunctional thank you for watching, love! 💜

I owe you a Turok #1 to make up the difference🤣😂

@@highgrade_keys 🤣

@@highgrade_keys it's still a lovely book. I'm happy to completely underwater on it. :D

Most excite!

Yeah, I think I'm going to make a video of going through the box! And you have NO. I. DEA. how my brain melted when I saw that TMNT #1 out of the corner of my eye when it FELL out of the box!!!

🤩

I'm thinking of doing something different and going through the short box and doing a video of it.

@@SwarmofComics look forward to watching it, be cool for your buddy being there too. He may be in for a shocker himself.

@@dinxsy8069 Thank you!

Thanks K!

You ain't wrong! I never expected those in a million years!

Thanks for joining in the fun! Those World's Finest covers were all great fun.

Wait until you see the Captain Midnight coming up in a future video! (If I didn't spend so much time on thumbnails, it would already be out, lol) I'm glad you were loving the books, and I appreciate you watching. I have to watch your latest vid today I hope.

Thank you! And I'll go hunt down that channel, thank you!

Right?!? Wait until I unveil my prize Captain Midnight in another video!

That's the entire extent of my BRILLIANT marketing strategy...add "unboxing" to the title!

Wait until you see the KING of Captain Midnight books that I haven't shown on video yet!! That's More Fun #69, with a gorgeous Dr. Fate cover. That's definitely one of my big boy books! I can't afford one with a Spectre cover, so I had to "settle" for that one!

Right!!?! You can't just open a medicine cabinet and find stuff like this, you gotta hunt for it!

Wait... You mean Aquaman doesn't live in your medicine cabinet, too? Oh.

@@delightfullydysfunctional no no, that's Aquanet. Similar, but also completely different.

I NEED TO FIND DAVID RAYMOND.

I have my Vampirella #1 sitting displayed behind me right as I type this!

@@SwarmofComics Amazing, i'm 99% sure the time has past for myself to own that. Unless by some miracle i stumble upon a copy in rough condition, fingers crossed

@@dinxsy8069 Mine is only a 4.5. It's rough, but about all I can afford! They are damn expensive!

I was very happy! Though being happy won't get you the same amount of views as the bad stuff, I'll take it either way! 😅

Thanks! I love weird old golden age books like MANHUNT! 😆

Awwww, that's awesome! I love the cover, and even the marvel chipping!

Hahaha, THANK YOU!

Anything with Doc Ock on the cover is dynamic. There are so many great Ock books, like #55 as well!

Awwwwww, but we love you!

Exactly. And my presser Tom would have seen it and said something. It's not like Aquaman #8 is worth anything under an 8.0 really, and he would know that corner would stop it from ever getting over a 5.0. At least it made good content for youtube?

I would know so much more if I bothered doing even 8 seconds of research! 😅

I DON'T, but there is a scanner in that printer sitting RIGHT behind me in that cabinet, so that's a fantastic (four) suggestion!

YUP! Lesson learned. We USED to do that, and then got lazy.

Thank you for subscribing! We are here to have fun! I appreciate you checking out the videos. Cheers!

Have a super skrull day!! And thanks for watching!
