Rip

Wow, very interesting

That SSWS 144 is one of my favorites

He lost the auction. So I don't think he has one

I have two copies, and there's another at the LCS. I don't think any of em have it,... but I'll double check.

We had a good thread on this in somewhere in the Golden Age section.

I certainly think it would be more difficult for another person to attempt Ian's task. But with 10 million to spend in cash, it would certainly be a possible task. I personlly think the most challenging titles don't come from DC at all. (I'm not saying Adventure or Detective is a cake walk BTW) It would be a title where there are only 1 or 2 copies known on various books. A title where many still don't have an idea whether the book exists or not.

How long would a Marvel collection take to complete.......4,5 days tops

But that collection wasn't nearly as complete from what I've heard. Didn't cover all the newer books and didn't have nearly the depth of promotional/giveaway type stuff

Old Italian Lira .......no dongs please

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! I'll bet DTA's stomach just sank

It will be interesting to see how a collection of that size gets absorbed into the comic mkt http://scoop.diamondgalleries.com/preview/scoop_article.asp?ai=9160&si=121 I see another Star wars 1 CGC 9.4 variant

Anyone check the census lately. Lots of new books added. HOM 190 9.4, HOM 236 another 9.6 and 9.4. Batman 237 9.8. Lots of stuff

Here's another: Giant Comics Editions 1. Gerber 8..........Rip (Does not exist) 2. Gerber 8..........Rip (Does not exist) 3. Gerber 8..........Rip (Does not exist) 4. Gerber 8...............................Rip 8 (possible 7) 5. Gerber 6...............................Rip 6 5a. Gerber 5...............................Rip 6 6. Gerber 6...............................Rip 6 7. Gerber (may not exist) 9........Rip 10 8. Gerber 6...............................Rip 6 9. Gerber 6...............................Rip 7 10. Gerber 6...............................Rip 6 11. Gerber 6...............................Rip 6 (possible 5) 12. Gerber 6...............................Rip 7 13. Gerber 8 ..............................Rip 8 14. Gerber 6...............................Rip 6 15. Gerber 6...............................Rip 6 16. Gerber 6...............................Rip 6 17nn. Gerber 6...............................Rip 7 18nn. Gerber not listed...................Rip 10 19nn. Gerber not listed...................Rip 10

I'll give you one example of how I would re-write the Gerber Suspense 1. Gerber 8..... Rip 7 (45+ copies) Suspense 2. Gerber 7..... Rip 6 Suspense 3. Gerber 9..... Rip 7 (30-35+ copies) Suspense 4. Gerber 6..... Rip 8 (around 20 copies) Suspense 5. Gerber 6..... Rip 7 Suspense 6. Gerber 7..... Rip 7 Suspense 7. Gerber 6..... Rip 6 (possible 5) Suspense 8. Gerber 7..... Rip 6 Suspense 9. Gerber 6..... Rip 6 (possible 5) Suspense 10. Gerber 6....Rip 6 (possible 5) Suspense 11. Gerber 7....Rip 6 Suspense 12. Gerber 8....Rip 6 Anyone else want to play??

I'd double/triple most of his total copies estimates. Some of the more established Superhero/EC horror books, I'd say his ratings are OK, but on Romance books, or more esoteric/lesser known titles, his accuracy drops. He has Teen-Age Romances 9, Diary Secrets 7, 9, and Suspense 4 as a 5's and 6's. He has many books that are listed at 6's that should be 9's, and some 8's that should be listed as 6's.

Well I finally got this bad boy. Paid a lot.... but the colors look just Frighteningly Fantastic!!! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6543987787&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1

You did well!! Someday I hope to own a copy

Do tell!!

I finally got a GCE 4. Tough book!!

190 and 217

Its a little OT but I picked up my Holy Grail of Star Wars cards. Its the best reg. issue card (aside from sig, and promo cards) you can get, the only Gem Mint 10 Han Solo RC from Series 1

Thanks to inconceivable Great packing
