What is the status of the Golden Age market?

Seven Seas 4 or 6 Which Do You Prefer?
RareHighGrade replied to ThothAmon's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
You are correct that many, if not most, GGA collectors focus on certain "things" that are prominently displayed in PL 17 and 23. -
AC1 rocket copy in the news again
RareHighGrade replied to Gotham Kid's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
This is a good point. Taking into account sales tax and other potential additional fees, the cost of purchasing it from Heritage a year ago was likely over $3.2 million. ComicConnect charges a 10% commission, so the original buyer would have needed to clear at least $3.52 million to break even. -
Although the cursive "Eldon" reflected on your Jumbo is the most common, CGC has also credited the block letter version as being part of the same pedigree collection:

Fox Comics Appreciation Thread!
RareHighGrade replied to Point Five's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
Yes, this was my number one target in the Berk auction, and I was grateful that it may have had a low profile in the sea of incredible Church Foxes. -

I think that almost all of the long-time GA Board members, including Lou Fine, are good folks who don't intend their comments to be taken personally, even though some of them may be perceived to be personal. We all have different collecting tastes and views about the hobby. I believe that when those views are expressed, they typically are directed at the issue rather than at any particular people. I think it's good to have differing views aired on our forum even when they aren't shared by all of us.

I wish I could say that, and you happen to have many of the reasons I can't. -

Post your Promise Collection wins!
RareHighGrade replied to GreatCaesarsGhost's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
As one who has been vocal about the over-grading of the Promise books, I will say this. Although most issues were over-graded, the books I ended up seeing in person had deep/rich colors and lots of gloss. In my opinion, Promise books generally don't match up to high grade Church books, but they are nicer than those in many other respected GA pedigrees, including Billy Wright, Crippen, Cosmic Aeroplane, Crowley, Windy City, Rockford, Nova Scotia and Lost Valley. Bottom line: It's a very impressive collection, but one that was over-graded, which unfortunately taints its reputation. -
1939 NEWSSTAND PIC TIME MACHINE JOURNEY INTO THE PAST
RareHighGrade replied to ajaxfarrell's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
This one intrigues me. Was Captain America so popular by only the second issue of the title that children were already buying and dressing up in his costume, complete with shield? -
They say they are planning to sell the collection. How is it going to be marketed, through Heritage?

I can't count all the times someone has opined that a book is the Larson copy simply because it had an "L" written on the cover. An "L" is not a Larson feature. Rather the words "Lamont" and/or "Larson" are written out. In other cases, there is specific coding that is the giveaway.
