I've slowed right down on buying ECs in the past couple of years, but it was almost uncannily accurate for most books when I was active. On the other hand, my Disney collection was purchased at about 50-60% of guide.

I don't agree with that at all.

Point Five Grading Estimates: Open For Business!
AJD replied to Point Five's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
Do you do grade estimates from scans of books already in CGC slabs? If not, that's totally my ideaTM. -
I understood that reference!

@sagii - hoping this isn't another one you already have, because it's a beaut!

From the album: Australian golden (and a few silver) age comics

Yeah, the landscape format works for battle scenes. It would be much harder to make this fit in a portrait format. -
I want to agree with this, and I especially like the airbrushed Xela covers on Thrilling. But this makes me smile every time I look at it. "Hmm, insufficient mayhem - better add a tiger".

Richard Tracy was also quite big in Australia. This series ran for over 100 issues, and there were other titles.

Butterfly to moths

I see where you're coming from with that opinion, but sometimes the sheer audacity of the multiple layers of mayhem appeals in its own right.

Hmm, no sighting on the boards of Marwood since 'The Carnival is over" - was that a subtle exit? Hope not...

I'm not sure - I've sent a couple of PMs but have heard nowt. Hopefully all is well.

A couple more Australian 'Classic Comics', which later became Classics Illustrated. And yet another different shape - these are longer and narrower than the previous couple. Though undated and unnumbered, these are #15 and #20 respectively. The monthly series started in 1947, so these would be 1948 and/or 1949. With these it's at least easy to select interior pages. The archery contest from Ivanhoe and the 'all for one and one for all' from (the VERY unevenly drawn) Three Musketeers.

A "models and hobbies" shop that sold second hand comics... man, I think my heart stopped for a second there.

New Discovery: Unique Canadian Golden Age Comic?
AJD replied to eccomic's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
Great stuff - a Canadian reprint of an American comic for distribution in the UK appearing under two different publisher's imprints is interesting enough to start with but this find adds another curiosity. I haven't yet dived into the Australian reprints of US books for the New Zealand market, but I suspect there will be similar oddities to be found there.
