I have enough of these now to make a group shot worthwhile. I blame Chuck Rozanski for this. One of his emails years ago mentioned EC comics as being the best ever - I'd never seen one and thought I should check them out. I like them all, but have settled on War and Scifi for now. This is the result (so far).

 

 

Rub it in guys... Rub it in.

Some recent snags,

been really enjoying this run.

Posted a bunch of stuff in Gold/Silver/Bronze that also includes copper

Perhaps I should have posted it in the mixed

Lots of McFarlane spidey and other stuff. I'll also be posting a lot of great pictures

Like this

oh wait wrong one, I meant this one

How many marriage proposals have you been pmed since posting this ?

Nice book

Yes the CGC is responsible for the Watchmen #1 price being 3k initially. The CGC is aware that the first copies will sell for outrageous prices. We all know this. The CGC could put other measures in place to prevent the prices from getting out of hand, and to prevent from people losing money. I know that is a strange idea to entertain, but it would prevent a lot people from getting seriously hurt. You don't mind watching others get hurt sir? Oh it's their fault right that they trust a CGC product to maintain it's value.

 

Perhaps a ceiling price would control things on certain hotter books. I don't know. They are responsible for people losing a lot of money. I do not see how you could possibly blame an unknowing buyer, unfamiliar with the game, for getting caught up in the CGC hype. Hasn't everyone gotten caught up in the hype at one time or another? That's what hype is!! Something that comes along and swoops you off your feet. Are you immune to hype?

 

They are good AND bad for the hobby. They preserve books in a certain way, maybe not the best way not using mylar.., but prices are artificially inflated and we all know that. You pay for the plastic and the service. That is acceptable. What is not acceptable is people losing thousands of dollars when they invest their FAITH and TRUST in a CGC product.

 

So many funny quotes in this The one in bold may be my fav. Swept off your feet by hype. Hilarious. Regulating the prices is just insane

Thanks guys. I've been looking for something for my gun safe. One of my friends recently discovered rust on one of his rifles after a short period of time. Just a small amount of moisture can really ruin things.

Best Superman story ever !

Flawless Transaction ! Thanks a bunch !

Must have been.

Can someone explain to me how Rawhide Kid # 50 has 25 9.8's and 34 9.6's ?

Who was hoarding all these ? and what did they do with the issues before and after ?

Every time I see that cover it makes me think of Deebo from Friday - I think its cause he looks cross eyed

Any new info ?

Wheres the group shot I demanded ?

 

F U.

That's awesome.

And there its ONE AND ONLY ONE copy of Batman # 1 signed

If you are the owner (And the one in the pic it’s not a reprint)

CONGRATULATIONS

 

 

May I ask who sign it....?

I am guessing

Jerry Robinson

Since you have an original art from him....[/font]

The Batman # 1 is a reprint not that theres anything wrong with that. I for one would love to own a reprint signed by Jerry.

Just made a mega-trade with the folks at Worldwide. They got 17 boxes of slabs and I got a box and a half. I let go of duplicates I didn't need and got a bunch of really great stuff. Here's some of it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Holy Gator, our collections are so similar it's eerie

 

Oh wait, I just woke up

 

Those are some sweet looking GA classics

if you have comics in your collection, then they are similar ...only the titles and page counts change (thumbs u

I just wish there were more reprints available for the more obscure golden age. Always wonder what is inside some of the more obscure ones.

Wow... how do you (general question open to anyone) find such pristine raw copies?

 

** Sort of a rhetorical question I guess...

 

He got them all from a single private collection from a guy who was at the Vancouver Comic Con a while back.

Nice haul.
