Thanks Bob

Yes in Glasgow. What about you?

Got these today. Not brilliant but all complete and $300 for the lot including shipping to the United Kingdom wasn't bad I thought

Thanks. I have a thing for title logos and also deep colours such as the purple cover for # 21.

Coincidentally that is why I have several copies of TTA # 54 but none close to yours which is absolutely awesome. I know I am now going to obsess until I get a White Mountain TTA!

Wow indeed!

Just got these in the post today.

Sometimes my OCD pays off - saw Western Comics #'s 17 and 21 on ebay and couldn't resist even although have several copies already and asked if seller would ship to UK - he then offered me 14 more and although I had all but 2 of the issues I said yes because were relatively cheap - $175 for the lot.

Then he asked if I would be interested in 17 of first 24 issues of Brave and the Bold for $300 of which I only had a few. I was delighted to accept. [/img]

Hi got the CB frames from Habitat.

Got these yesterday from my local comic shop. I already have the Brave and Bold and Captain America but couldn't resist as half price sale and got the lot for £55

[/img]

And these arrived this morning

[/img]

My wife made me tidy my room for Christmas Day!

[/img]

Left a few lying out to show the nephews and nieces.

These arrived today. Slowly plugging the gaps in my DC Western Comics collection. Funny what can attract you to particular titles or maybe it's just me but in this case I saw a couple of these at a local comic fair in nice condition and was attracted by the cool logo and deep background colours - have never read a Western comic in my life!

Mmm Millie eh?

I love those G I Combats - never knew they existed until I saw this thread and now chasing them.

Awesome

Delighted to get this along with two other DC Hopalong Cassidy's for $10 each on ebay. Not the best condition but still lovely to me!

Some Spidey's

Thanks for your interest. FF # 4 all low to mid grade ranging from good to very good plus fine at best - hope to get a nice fine or better graded copy soon, Strange Tales all mid grade and again looking to get a keeper as one of my favourite covers.

Here are some Hulk #'s

[/img]

Thanks, I like Sub Mariner too!

[/img]

I love this thread - here are some Marvel keys. I know I need to get a better camera.

[/img]

Thanks that makes me feel a lot better. I see AF # 15 has also plateaued according to the AF # 15 club thread - is this the case for most Marvel Silver Age keys or Silver keys in general? I had put my sales in the early part of last year for good prices down to the weakness of the £ - also sold 3 copies Avengers # 1, 3 X ToS # 39s and a DD # 1 cgc 7.5

Thanks, the large Avengers # 4 is a colour recreation I commissioned. I sold 5 copies of Avengers # 4 last year which I also regret including my cgc 7.0 copy.

# 4 is my favourite. Those are stunning cgc 9.4 and 9.6 copies I can only dream about.

Thanks for your reply.

I concentrated on Flash for a while Showcase #'s and 105-132 but recently sold Showcase # 4 (I had two of these - the one I still have is fair because spine split but otherwise looks nice ) and #'s 105 -109 so need to replace those.

I was lucky enough to snag a lot on ebay of around 150 DC 10 centers for £600 which included the B&B # 29 in my post which had a cross section of all superhero titles.

Went through a sci fi phase Mystery In Space, etc and have also been collecting the DC Western Comics title purely on the basis that I saw a couple of issues at a local comic mart and loved the logo and some of the deep purple covers. Have about 40 of these.

Then I have been trying to complete Superboy #'s 1 -100 - managed 50 to 100 so far and slowly working down.

Thanks to my recent discovery of the boards and the Greytone cover thread I have started a greytone collection. Here is my latest addition [/img]

All this has been quite slow as my wife has withdrawn all credit from my collecting and for the last 4 years have only been able to purchase from funds raised through sales on ebay!

I have only recently started reading the board and must say can't believe what I've been missing - seeing other people's collections is really cool and has stimulated me to continue trying to improve my own collection.

PS Just bought a JO # 37! looks like a nice mid grade for £20.

Hi

Some lovely comics. I was brought up on Marvel but have for the past couple of years been getting into early DC Silver 10 cents also and managed to build up a collection of around 1000. Here's my JO # 39 and B&B # 29

Just tidied my comic room and got my cover recreations framed ready for hanging -still a bit of work to do (another 40 odd boxes to locate, labels on boxes, etc) but getting organised. Plan to remove the the upper shelves of the cabinet (which I've emptied) and hang pictures on the wall with perhaps few on top of cabinet statues/toys. Also framed photocopies of my Steve Rude/John Romita Jr sketches. Much of what I'm doing has stemmed from others on this thread - thanks for the ideas - its great to see how other collectors present/organise their collections.

I also got these Silver Age cover recreations in the post this week - can't wait to frame them.

My wife stopped me spending any money a few years ago so I can only add/change around my collection by selling so although hard to lose a key I enjoy the chase of replacing. Anyone else in a similar boat?
