  1. Since craft is not appreciated, can someone please find me a nice Kaluta Shadow page?
  2. Hughes was not the original finder. Dennis at Castaway was the one who brought them to market, Hughes cherry picked from Dennis. I bought a number of books from Dennis and Tim Collins that never we're seen by Hughes.
  3. The buyer had an opportunity to examine the book prior to purchase. It was satisfactory then. If they wanted a guarantee they should have asked for it. I'm not defending sellers selling restored books. I'm pointing out the stupidity of a buyer dropping $5500 on something they are unqualified to assess. That's just dumb.
  4. That explains why any I was interested in we're gone.
  5. Thanks for the input Ron. A number of people have tried to find a "Tom Reilly" to match Bob Beerbohm's story with no luck. Did you have any interaction with the original sellers to confirm the name? The stamp leaves some ambiguity as to the actual name.
  6. I've always had to show my ID when I redirect a FedEx package. Not sure what problem this solves.
  7. I think we all would like to hear his input on the San Francisco collection. So many "knowns" from what we have been told don't add up.
  8. Great to have you here Ron. Thank you for contributing this information. I've asked similar questions in the original art forum and nobody wanted to reveal anything. The history of fandom and collecting is something we should all be familiar with. I had never heard of a Nedor find. Do you recall the time frame for these? BTW, congratulations on the liver transplant. No small feat! I'm a gastroenterologist, so I'm familiar with what you had to/have to overcome.
  9. I did a little digging and all I can find are cumulative distribution numbers for DC as a publisher.
  10. Gary Carter told me roughly the same way back when. He said that the editor at DC at the time (I think, one of the big wigs at least) considered More Fun his pet title, so they printed the bare minimum each month to break even. The number he quoted me was 10,000 issues. I would imagine there's at least some data out there on distribution or printing numbers that might be able to verify or disprove that. @scrooge?
  11. And to double tweak, it's not a moire pattern.
  12. They really were searching for an identity early on. Part of what makes the early GA stuff so appealing to me.
  13. Judging from your spelling, I think you've had enough.
