In other news, I just filled in about 100 more back issues in the ff series.

Hopefully the lot wasn't too expensive for you. Also I'm with you on one of your recent posts about making a list of issues you need instead of what you have already. It works much easier that way for me with my Batman collection needs.

Been adding a few back issues to fill in some holes in my FF run.

Fantastic Four 24, 32, 35(higher grade replacement), 57, 67, 97, 111(filler), 118, 196.

I also picked up a better copy of Silver Surfer #4. My first copy of this book is completely coverless. The new one has a nice front cover attached, missing back cover. I may get a complete copy one day lol.

Got my first graded books from CGC, 1 not bad, 1 terrible... lol. FF 56 came back 7.5 which isn't too bad, and Thor 193 which came back at 5.5....blech. Somehow i missed the staining on the bottom....oh well.

I'm still trying to decide if I want to do news stand/direct variant runs or just first come first serve. Price variants is another thing I haven't thought about either....more to think on.

Updated list of my completion quest for Fantastic Four:

No-one can complain at owning a copy of that book, Nice!

Here's a more modern cover. I really enjoy the whole Infinity line.

That's a nice 63. Especially with all that black on the cover.

Hi Greg,
I sent you a PM a couple days ago, not sure if you got it? I always have trouble with the message system here so I never know when things don't go thru unless I get a reply. Or I get 5 copies of the 'your message has been opened/read' overkill.

I see you already have most of the Surfer issues I told you about anyway, but please let me know if you got my message, thanks.

I just picked up FF 91-94 in mid grade for about 5 bucks a piece, including shipping. I need a second job.....lol

I have never made it to a convention actually. Really want to. My son is getting into comics with me now, so I may look for the nearest big con coming up. Maybe Charlotte, NC. I think there is a big one there, only 2 hours away.

In other news, I just added 81 and 94 to my ff run and 12 and 14 for silver surfer. I'm really excited about the 14, scans showed it looking nm ish.

Managed to fill in some more FF issues. Streamlined the list a little bit too.

1/2,56,63,76,80,84,86,134,140,142,144,147-153,155,156,158-160,162-165,169-177,181-183,185,186,188,191-195,197-211,213,217-241,245,248-285, 287-316,319,323,325,339,341,344-349,354-356,358,360,363,366-369,371-377,379-382, 384,387-389,396,402,403,Annual 3,11,14,17,19-26, Special 5,7-10

I'm going to fill in 100 to 400 first. Then whittle down the sub 100s. My 56 is pretty nice and I'm sending it to get slabbed. First book ever for me, so it will be a learning curve. May sell it off if it comes back good. Use the monies to buy more stuffs lol.
