  1. I love books that look fantastic but have insignificant and unobtrusive defects that make them more affordable.
  2. I think Dennis is still around. I saw him post something on eBay a couple of years back. Shut his shop down a while ago and moved out of state, but appeared to be back. He always had such amazing books, not the least of which were the Auroras.
  3. I think Dwight hit the nail on the head. Probably crossover from comic guys on the Planets, right when the comic series is crazy hot.
  4. I've never seen a NH with grease pencil. Always pencil.
  5. I agree. They also seem to get great prices for books with "room for improvement". But for GA they're 3rd.
  6. As a doctor I advise that nobody listen to this nonsense.
  7. Mostly everything. CC equals HA on quality GA. More obscure things seem to get overlooked a bit, but the gap is closing.
  8. I considered him, Gerry Ross, Doug Schmell, and it wasn't even close. Beerbohm ripped off Jerry Bails' widow after he died. Him, Gerber, and Schmell are the only one I know who pulled that garbage on old ladies. The others are just con men.
  9. In my opinion he's the single worst person in comics. If anyone has anything nice to say about him, the floor is open.
  10. I read an article recently by a long time pulp collector who said that this was the title that he advised everyone start with for the reasons you outlined above.
  11. This book has a fascinating history. Bob Beerbohm first saw it at a convention when another collector managed to buy all the San Francisco timely prior to him seeing them. He found out that that collector was paying 25% of retail which made Bob recognize that he could pay even less than that at times. This set him out on a career path where he dedicated himself every day striving to rip people off in greater and greater ways. Ultimately culminating in a career where he takes great pride and being able to rip off children, widows, and any other downtrodden folk.
  12. This title is chock full of amazing Finlay covers and they're dirt cheap. They're common and low demand. The publisher sought out the best authors, so if you want to read them, not too shabby.

  14. Early Finlay, I agree with you. However by the mid 40s he was masterful.
  15. The "GIVEN" is probably bleed through, just like on the back cover. But that chunk out...
