Here's one from Motor City

So you're the one who yanked it out of my trembling hands.

 

i thought there might be a boardie or two watching that auction. First time I haven't been sniped on book I really wanted in a long time... Sorry about that.

We met at a T.O. con once. I believe you bought a Blue Beetle #54 at the time.

great sig line

So you're the one who yanked it out of my trembling hands.

A couple of new books from this weekend's MN show:

 

 

That looks like Wally Wood to me. Is it?

u betcha, (use to own a copy)

My copy from the Crippen collection.

The coverless TR11 went for $5.99. Then a coverless copy with a photocopied cover sells for over $70.00.

 

What have we learned here today boys and girls?

 

Put xerox covers on our coverless books and sell them on ebay?

Exactly. Class dismissed.

I'd been looking for a copy of this book for a long time. After I got this one I saw a coverless copy go for 75.00.

 

So I was happy with this one.

Is that the 3.0 that sold on Comicconnect?

Hello,

 

Thought I would put some images of other Shadows that are in my collection, for collectors who might enjoy seeing them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I never get tired at looking at this man's stuff.

Val Lewton's original Cat People.

Finally got this one... been on my wantlist for years, just never found a decent looking one... The Origin of Rip Kirby, by Alex Raymond (and when I say "by", I mean cover to cover, no ads... even the back cover is part of the story ) and it was CHEAP!!!

 

Feature Book 51

I like how even when firing a gun at someone and protecting the girl, that damn pipe never leaves his mouth.

String of Pre Code books from c2e2. THe best thing about them, is the Dealers were really letting things go cheap. Almost all of these came from 1 booth where everything was half off on Sunday. Wall books, box stock, everything at the booth!

 

Easily my favorite of the bunch I picked up. Pure classic, and nearly impossible to find. I have never seen a copy in person before!

 

Nice copy. Mine has a piece out top right corner, otherwise not bad. Read the story. Overstreet calls it "classic story" which they never do. It's a hoot.

I want those too

They're nice- but I couldn't get 'em both. I knew it wouldn't last- so I'm glad a fellow boardie snapped it up.

I thought it seemed like Saunders- but not quite. Thanks for clearing that up.

Yes, and he has some of the other issues from that run in high grade as well.

I saw your copy in Toronto. It's nice. I picked this up from Ted instead.

 

 

Both are great covers with solid sci-fi stories inside!

The story about the scientist who builds the evil robot bulldozer has one of my favorite bits of dialogue. The girl looks to the hero after watching the scientist die at the hands of the bulldozer: "He loved the bulldozer more than life."

Something we can all learn from.

From Ted @ Superworld?

As for Overstreet, when it comes to St. John's romance, and especially Cinderella Love, I don't even bother to open it up.

 

That's for sure!

 

Yeah, there was quite a bidding war there. Is this a key in terms of its content, or just an especially rare / low-distribution issue?

Just a tuff book with a nice Baker cover. No Baker contents ( none of the CL's had any). CL's have been really hot for a while now, and if you only need one...

So, who got into the bidding war on Cinderella Love #27? This is a $10-to-$20 book according to Overstreet. The auction ended March 30, 2010, and two bidders drove up the price from around $50 to a final bid of $275. And not even for that nice a copy! It HAD to be somebody here. LINK

OK, I was the 2nd underbidder. I was sitting pretty for a couple of days, then one of the other bidders came back to outbid me. Then I outbid him, and said to hell with it. The next morning another underbidder came back to outbid, then he was outbid by the guy I outbid.

Does that make sense? Glad I kept my money, I don't like popped staples especially on top (comic has more of a chance of sliding away from the cover in a mylar).

Got a nice copy of this book from Terry of Terry's Comics at Emerald City last weekend.

 

Nice.

This issue is the toughest of the run me thinks. Only one in cencus last I looked.

PRICE REDUCTION - $20.00 OFF EACH COMIC!

Thnx.

I once had the Spokane copy of Web in cgc 6.0. Sold it for $700.00. It's a great book and uncommon.

Web of Evil #5 - Classic Jack Cole electrocution cover. Did the story as well. Spine completely split and detached. Complete.

As a bonus you will learn how to hypnotize (women).
