    Feb 1953

    Diligence and networking. That's about it. Well, patience also. Keep in mind that taking a decade to find something rare isn't unusual. Good luck!

    January 1953 was a good month. All 3 of these are particularly difficult to find in my experience.

    Modern variant madness is nothing new. Vintage material tends to follow logic more.

    This price is unbelievable. There have been a lot of crazy prices I've seen over the years, but this may be the most crazy I've ever seen.

    Sometimes there was glue, rice paper, etc., and someone will remove the cover to "unrestore" a book, which is where you'll see something like this. I agree with you, the outside of this staple looks fine, the inside looks a little off.

    Does the bend of the tines look similar to the other staple? In general, tines of GA books were bent in a bit more of a crescent-shaped curve rather than straight like these, but there are no absolutes by a long shot. So you need to look at both staples to see if they are bent similarly.

    You'd think a company that provides a guaranty on a comic would recognize that. I can't believe how many obvious RCs are out there without notation.

    His 1940s work is much more in line with this. By the 50s he developed a more expressionistic style that often looks like Krigstein. It's funny that his name has come up here as he was the first one that came to mind when I saw this thread. I just hadn't got around to taking pictures.

    AF 15 tends to vary quite a bit depending on appearance, marvel chipping, etc. This is a great looking 5.5 which means the drop is even more than it appears at first blush.

    The pudgy guy with glasses looks particularly Ditkoish!

    Reinman's art in this era of books was way above this level. If you look through his Atlas oeuvre you'll find nothing but gems.

    Pics?

    Thanks for sharing those Scott, I wasn't aware of them. I tend to think less of his early art, but these show that he had all the skills and talent ready to go at that time! His cross-hatching in particular is great in these.

    I'm gonna get crucified for this, but the most common element I see in all of them -- and it's not at all his typical style, but would fit very early on -- is Joe Kubert. The problem is, every panel and moreso every face in every panel, looks like a different artist.

    Looks nothing like the rest of the run. It would fit in more with Target or another sci-fi title. I loves it.

    And the OA for comparison's sake.

    Best copy of Battlefield 6 I've been able to find. Recently an 8.5 hit the census which must be something to see. This copy is pretty great looking for the grade.

    That Blazing Combat reproduction is incredible. I've never seen anything from that story. I've wondered if Heath kept it like he did "Easy's First Tiger". Ultimately he let that one go, but I think it was through Steve Wyatt. So I'm holding out hope that he may have the OA from the Blazing Combat story.

    Yes, but the $14,750 "bid" on clink isn't a bid. It's a reserve.
  23. buttock
    I think that's a reserve, not an actual bid.

    Or the whiteout alpha flight cover

    Some dealer is committing this to memory so they can sell an ink drop on a twice up page. "The less content the better!"
