Complete Two-In-One (plus another Thor! and Nemo!)

I've now completed by collection of Marvel Two-In-One with this purchase of issue 13. As you can see from the cover scan it's not the VFN as advertised but, to be fair, the seller agreed and fully refunded me when I pointed this out. It'll do but I'd have rather have had that VFN copy.

So, just as promised back in Jan, I've now completed 1-75 of 2-in-1 which was my aim.


I also picked-up Thor #256 from a different seller as it was one of the issues missing from the lot I purchased recently. A nice copy at 99p.

And finally I decided to purchase "River of Ghosts" which is the last part of the Nemo trilogy. I didn't like only having 2/3 of the story on the shelf and this was going cheap. Oh, the completist in me can cause me trouble!

Added to my Collection - One more "Two-In-One"


So I picked-up Two-In-One #18 off Ebay for £2.50 incl P&P.

It was advertised at VFN+ but it's really aVFN- at a push. Still a reasonable price and this means I just want #13 to complete the run that I want to collect.

The grade of this comic didn't bother me as much as the grade of Avengers #166 which I was upgrading from a FN copy to this
Again it's not bad, but it's not VFN+ as advertised. The main issue is the lack of cover gloss and that's not something you can really pick-up from a scan. If I'd paid more I would have complained but in the end it's a better copy than I had previously. But I'll probably not order from captainbeano again (not that I have many back-issues that I want).

Added to My Collection: Marvel Two-In-One


I've got a few "missing" issues of Two-In-One which, when I get them all, will mean I have 1-75.

These two issues which came in the one ebay auction leave just 2 more to get. Numbers 13 and 18. I know these won't be classics but it was sort of nagging me that they were missing.
