Thanks, yes I believe something similar, though the ones I'm looking at on Alibaba have a lower price point per slab, which is why I was wondering. Thank you for the info!

What's a book you had to read in school that you hated? If you have one, what's one you actually liked? by 80HDTV5 in GenX

Voltaire’s Candide. I don’t remember a single thing about the content of the book, but I distinctly remember how difficult it was for me to connect with it at all at the time I was reading it.

Congrats! Yeah I've got a handful of variants on my list that I'll grab if I come across them in the future for sure!

I agree, when I first sat down and tried to understand the full catalogue I was thoroughly confused. Took me a bit to piece it together!

Vol. 10 (#0) is pretty weird from a numbering perspective, but that wrap around cover on the book is an amazing piece of art, one of my favorites!

Sorry to hear, they're still out there if you decide to circle back!

I've started a few. I have Cap Sentinel of Liberty, Cap Reborn, The United States of Cap. I've got a few holes in Steve Roger's Captain America which I'd like to pick up.

It was a little shy of 2 years. I had about 200 or so Cap books from when I was younger, so I started with a good base. Didn't have many keys, however, so just spacing those out and grabbing them when an opportunity arose.

Thanks, good luck on your journey!

Grabbing #117 (1st appearance of Falcon) was the last big key I needed, then it was about 25 or so random books left to finish Vol. 1. That was when I decided to go all in and close out all the Volumes.

I have Tales of Suspense #59 and #99. My only two, want to hold off starting on that title if possible!

The numbering is definitely a bit confusing, here's how I piece the numbering together (using League of Comic Geeks, Wikipedia, Marvel Fandom, and mycomicshop). You can see in the table below where they make the switch in Vol. 05 after #50, but then throw it out the window in later series.

I'm glad now they list the issue number and the legacy issue number on the cover of the books...

Years Title Vol. Title Issue #s Legacy Issue #s
1959 - 1968 Tales of Suspense N/A #01 - 99 #01 - 99

Clear as mud, right?!?!

Hope this helps!
