Ending the Year with a bang - Cockrum Invaders Cover!!

[ratchet]

omg! That's a beaut! Congrats!

[rilynil]

Good lord, what a treasure! Congratulations, Bill!

Thanks, mate. I was really interested in this cover and you spared me the agony of trying to pay for it! It's a real beauty. Congrats!

Great pickup bill. If not for long layaways, I couldn't acquire some of my prized pieces. its great that we have generous sellers in our hobby

[Magneto]

Wow, that´s awesome!

Thanks for the kind words everyone. Getting an Invaders cover was on my short list of wants. I passed on several other covers as they either were over-priced or not very dramatic. Getting one with Baron Blood (as well as the core Invaders) was just something I could not pass up a second time (especially since it was at a lower price). The only thing missing from the cover is Union Jack.

better that I have it then a delaer -- there are currently 5 or 6 Invaders covers in dealers possessions that are outrageously priced

I would love to have a Robbins' Invaders or Captain America page, but I've never found one that I deemed "must have"...
Plus, they gotten expensive over the past 10 years! Damn collectors!

A handful of pages have come up recenlty, but I agree there is nothing that struck me as spectacular/must have. Check out the Baron Blood pages on my CAF -- I got those direct from a collector last year.

Albert mentioned someone else was interested in the cover, apparently I beat you by an hour or two.

Yeah, the time payment was nice. I could have paid for it all at once, but that would have really upset my wife. It was odd knowing that my monthly "spending" money had already been spent

No, I hadn't contacted Albert yet, but I was on the edge so to speak. I was starting to think hard about ways to do a trade/cash deal with him for it.Once it was gone, I could just walk away without thinking about it anymore LOL. It's a great Invaders cover and a great Cockrum/Sinnott cover.

Hmmm, I wonder who I beat to the punch? I am sure M. Finn would want the cover since he has the entire issue.

Albert had a typo on his listing Invaiders instead of Invaders so it did not come up on any CAF searches which may have helped me get it.

I noticed the typo too. Well, whoever you beat out, it's yours now I'm green with jealous rage.

One of my all time favorite reads as a kid. The Invaders were awesome. Great cover and well worth the wait.
