Won't need this for the reading group for a while, but it doesn't hurt to work ahead:

 

Score!

I don't know for sure, but these star stamps often appeared on books with Mark Jewelers inserts in them so it may be connected to military bases where those books were sold?

Bingo -------ding ding Military Base PX.

It's so organized I can find any book I want at moments notice.

Has there been any progress on this? I mean who takes this kids comic book almost 2 years now?  That's insane! Does Shooter know he has it? Or is this go between guy just pumping you with BS? I find this whole transaction very suspicious.

Wouldn’t a book like that justify a walk through? I’m not up on submission protocol as I’ve never submitted anything. Just heard this mentioned before for high priced books.

If I lived in Florida that would be awesome.

Totally agree, I am literally crapping myself incase they have been damaged while there. 

I have a beautiful copy of AF 15 , probably in the 7.0 ish range. I've wanted to get that done real bad, just cant get passed the timeframe thing.

I know what you are saying oak, but there is something about getting your books back and seeing what grades they get, (I never check the grades) it can be disappointing sometimes, but when you get those 9.8/6s it's a good feeling. 

I get that and appreciate the sentiment,  and would love to have books done. However I dont trust anything that takes a year to achieve. 

Can we play in here though?🤞

Guys does this Eerie # 1 look legitimate to you?

As far as Eerie#1's are concerned consult one of us older veteran Warren guys before you purchase a copy.  There are alot of fakes.

I’ve been trying to figure out what this means for hours. Other than the fact it’s got to be rude/funny I have no clue? 

I just figured I was too old to even worry about it, it must be some new thing.

 Not my entire collection Oak, that’d be crazy! 

These are mostly just the big books I picked up from Heritage, ComicLink, Comic Connect, Etc. Since I had the receipts, I added some eBay, Mile High and books from Doug Sulipa as well. I’ve got a bunch of Manitoba comics I had forgotten about. Mostly Charltons, but in sweet condition!

Oh thank GOD! I thought to myself. If Jayman is doing it , maybe I should? Then I thought naw.....🤢

Well it took 21 years for me to finally do it! 

I couldnt imagine cataloging my collection. 😂

If you want the best Warren Companion this is it.

It's not cheap anymore,  but a great resource.

I just ordered a paperback edition of "James Warren: Empire of Monsters."

How does that stack up?

If you want the best Warren Companion this is it.

i will admit most of the stories are not that great , neither were the stories in Batman or Superman all that great in the 50's either

but the covers were great !!  50's romance comics had great covers too

 

Drek....

After Hours 4 is my guess, Help 12b wouldn’t be quite big enough for the hype, and I suspect if Eerie 1 or Heidi Saha sold it would have been discussed on the forums even if we didn’t know who grabbed it.  It could be House of Horror by that logic as well, but I’ll stick with After Hours as my guess.

House of Horrors would be extremely difficult to find.

I think mine would grade higher than that, but I'd have to overcome a lot of trust issues to allow CGC and the postal system (twice) to take custody of them for an indefinite period of months.

Here's the back cover:

Right! I have a nice high grade 9.4-9.6 , but I cant get passed the grading process in my head to send these books.

Agreed, I don't think Orlando would drive sellers to jump their prices.  Some of the other NatLamp artists do, though... Frazetta, Adams, Wrightson, Windsor-Smith, and the list goes on.  There were a crazy number of great comic artists working on NatLamp in the 70's

Try to find this National Lampoon  Frazetta book in high grade, just not around, April 71.

You are a terrific storyteller,  just had to say that. 

Continue.....🤗

For that price, I'd want a mint signed sealed hardcover edition with 14k gold text block...  

Right! I dont care how cool it is that price would be way out of control. For that price Frazetta,Boris, and Sanjulian better have their sigs on that thing. 😂
