GA With Less Than Ten Copies in the CGC Census
Shazbot replied to circumstances's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
Thanks, it's definitely a bit of a different world. So much to learn. -
GA With Less Than Ten Copies in the CGC Census
Shazbot replied to circumstances's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
Bought my first GA a few weeks ago(forgive the crosspost) and although it's nothing remarkable, and pretty beat up, I've been thrilled with it. Just checked the census and with zero copies on the board at any grade I'm now feelin' even groovier about my new oldest book. -
This March of Comics 16 cover looks like it went a few rounds against a steak knife, but I had to have one once I spotted it. Looked around online for a nicer copy but couldn't find a thing so I grabbed it. Such classic, old school Woody, so unlike the much more kiddie-friendly version put out by Dell and GK. The read didn't disappoint, even got Woody in the panels dropping F-bombs like he's Wolverine.

Been scratching my TV/movie adapt itch recently. Was really excited about these two childhood favorites I bought online, unfortunately both came with major damage that magically didn't show up in the sale photos. 🤔 Back on the Want List they go. -
Tripped over this in one of my boxes today. It's no 9.6 Something Wanted, but it was a nice surprise.

Thanks so much for any input. Creasing on the bc doesn't extend to the pages. No surprises inside. (*edit: the white nick on Thing's chin is actually just a bit of makeup remover pad I missed after wiping it off for pictures)

Just in case anyone here needs a comic collecting "system"....
Shazbot replied to originalisbest's topic in Comics General
I'm selling this same system for $998 but with mine you get a hyperlink to this board. -
I'm still trying to figure out how FF 67 is a Warlock cameo and not a full blown first appearance. Makes zero sense to me.

Stumbled across this at a library book sale tonight, probably doesn't count but it made me think of this thread. -
If you're feeling generous with your time, please and thank you for Blastaar's 1st. Couple of deep color breaks on the bottom edge fc and 1 on the right edge that look in the pic like they could be tears but aren't. The top fc edge is a bit choppy though. Small pen writing at the very top of page 1. thanks

Old Optimus got "missent" in the mail, thankfully tho he found his way home to me. A post by @Holzar inspired me, thanks, to grab a copy of Blyberg's Warlock cover I didn't realize I needed, and I couldn't be happier about it. 🤘

My daughter started "collecting" Hot Wheels when she was two. She loves cars and trucks, and she got ahold of a couple beat up Hot Wheels my wife once stuck in my Christmas stocking & ever since she's loved them. Never bought anything old or valuable, just buy whatever's groovy at the supermarket, so I wouldn't say we're "collectors" per say, just enjoying them. Here's some pics we took a short while ago. I mostly dig the weird stuff & the mopars.

What is your first comic book in your collection
Shazbot replied to chuckfregeau's topic in Comics General
Stopped by a friends house who was on his way to pick up his "weeklys", whatever that meant, but I was up for a ride. While he did his thing I looked around and grabbed a couple of impulse buys, a $1 box FF #254 and an off-the-rack WoS #76. Believe it or not, after reading that ridiculous WoS, I actually went back for more. I think it was the FF despite it being an uneventful filler issue, that kept me in the game. They're the only two books I kept when I had to sell my first collection. I can still smell the large, light, extra sweet deli coffee I spilled all over the Spidey. That's how my comic book days began, with 2 terrible books, one of which I destroyed within hours. I dare say I haven't really gotten all that much better at this. -
Post Your Favorite Copper Age Cover(s)
Shazbot replied to Jordysnordy's topic in Copper Age Comic Books
I need FF 297 on a velvet black-light poster to complete my life. And Spidey 17 has been a favorite of mine since the nanosecond I saw it on the rack. -

I don't think pre-Modern back covers really got the respect they deserved as part of a book. I was glad when publishers began to change that mindset in the late '80s early '90s. And I always appreciated when a book sported a back that showed a little more effort, or was just a bit more interesting, cool, or fun than the average advert splash. Got any favorites? What have I missed since the mid '90s? Let see some badonkadonk! Here are some of the ones I'm revisiting as I begin my quarter-century rebag. Really dig the Maxx #5 cover art that never was. The Stridex comic series was funny. And that Chromed out border on the Deathmate Red ad is so shiny I couldn't get out of the pic.
