4Gemworks Comic Book Emporium's Bio
A Spider-Man collector since youth, I began collecting a high grade run of ASM over seven years ago. I have completed the collection about to the extent I am happy with it.
In the meantime I became one of few collectors to own an entire set on 1976 Marvel 30 cent variant issues. WHile not complete, I own the finest set of 35 cent variants known to exist. Most of these came from what I refer to as the "Cape Fear" Pedigree. Nearly 100 issues were in the collection and many of these grade at 9.0 or better with a number 9.4's and 9.6's.
In addition to the above I brancjed out and began to collect Two Gun Kid and Kid Colt Outlaw in the Western area.
I also have a complete run in decent grade of Amazing Adventures and Amazing Adult Fantasy.
Additionally I am just 15 issues, or so, away from assimilating a copmplete run of all EC horror titles (Tales From the Crypt, Vault of Horror and Haunt of Fear).
Somewhere along the way I began collecting Marvel Romance Titles "MY Love " and "Our Love". I'd guess I have one of the best collections around of both, with many Oakland pedigree copies.
Lastly I am working on a "life effort" of accumulating a great number of Golden Age keys. While the great majority of my collection is very high grade, much of my Golden Gae key collection is less than "Fine".
