Show us the favourite worthless dreck in your collection
KirbyJack replied to MattrixAlien's topic in Comics General
I agree that they’re fun. And while it’s certainly possible that I’m underestimating their current value, the last time I looked (< 2 years) I could buy a similar grade #1 for $5. -

KirbyJack replied to MattrixAlien's topic in Comics General
Maybe not drek now, but I did buy almost all of them out of the quarterbox. -

I don't have pictures of my drek (yet), but some quarterbox favorites include Alien Legion The Question (O'Neil) Untold Tales of Spider-Man Marvel Two-In-One Top Ten Leave It To Chance Plop! FF: The World's Greatest Comic Magazine And on, and on, and on. The best thing about these is that they have NO resale value, so I get to keep them til I die! -

Good luck! King #1 was on my list for a long time. I had a couple chances to be your white knight here, but alas. I never caught a copy.

Happy 85th Birthday to the greatest detective!
KirbyJack replied to Ltpink2002's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
It is amazing, but I actually prefer 29. Just more to love! Happy birthday, Bats. -
Fabulous book; and welcome, prematurely, to the club. We’ll send the forms over. Number two pencil, please.

This is a perfectly reasonable and understandable position. I imagine she is not the only one, either.

Y’know, I’d have been fine living my whole life without the term “male tail lights cover” in my head.

Bob Beerbohm, June 17, 1952 - Mar. 27, 2024
KirbyJack replied to Cat-Man_America's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
I have Bob to thank for turning me on to underground comics. Bob taught me how to pronounce Alex Toth's name (rhymes with "both"). Bob gave me my first lesson on EC history. Bob had us out to his place in Fremont, Nebraska just to see a complete GA Superman and Action collection. And one time, Bob was set up at a comic show, alone as usual. He was, at that time, apparently under the misimpression that I worked for Dean Phillips at Krypton Comics. He needed to smoke and pee, so he grabbed my arm, dragged me to his booth, and told me to watch it. If memory serves, I even sold a cheap book for him. When Bob got back, he immediately accused me of either allowing a comic to be stolen, or stealing it myself. When I was finally allowed to explain that I did not work for Dean, the entire matter was dropped. I assure you, nothing of any consequence was stolen on my watch. I related the story to Dean, and he was not surprised. Apparently, Bob liked to use that tactic to mitigate debt he had with Dean. There is good and bad to all of us, but there is no doubt that my life is a little better for having known Bob Beerbohm. -
Bob was certainly colorful, and I could share anecdotes both good and bad about him. I choose to accentuate the positive. He was a big presence during my main collecting years; I was always running into him. I even made a few runs out to Fremont to shop his stuff or see some noteworthy collections. No matter how good the books were, he had a better supply of stories. We have lost something irreplaceable in his passing.

Sorry. The cat is going to be sent in for grading.

Right comic; wrong placement for the sig. Gotta be first page... and bigger!
-
Hopefully there will be a super-inclusive specimen for my budget. I would need a first page signature, of course. ( get that bc provenance, y’know )

Hey! Fourth grade was the best 3 years of my life.

That is what they should put on The Sphere in Las Vegas. I can't imagine any downside at all.
