G.A.tor

I just want to hold them

Hell Yeah! (thumbs u it is junk...cmack, send it to me and I might just take it off your hands for a song!

crikey

I am not GATor, but... Job numbers were just an accounting thing. Jobs were assigned by an editor to the writer, the penciller, the letterer, and the inker, and they just needed a way to track them through the various steps -- both for accounting purposes and for job flow. Some job numbers in fact had the editor's initials -- see SL for Stan Lee or even AG for Archie Goodwin in the later black-and-white magazines -- but don't always assume that Stan or Archie or whomever actually did anything with it other than maybe assign the story. The job numbers are slightly interesting where you can see stories that may have been finished a couple of years earlier but never printed at the time (for whatever reason). So in an issue of Marvel Tales, you may have C-341, C-361, and C-081. The job numbers are often listed in various indexing sites (www.comics.org, for example), but they're by no means complete. Sorry I missed question.

I've owned about a dozen lost valleys including Tec 3 and none had rusty staples

Me too, but do you think GAtor realized he'd sold them?

The average copy is about 40k a point imo

Well alright!

Vancouvers. Folks don't pay enough attention to this ped. Every copy I've ever owned has been a white paged 9.6/9.8 Lost valleys had a great variety and selection of titles, esp 1930s issues. Don't hear folks talk about that ped as much. What about Palo Altos? Very nice 1950s ped. One more Rick- as for quality, are the Central Valleys underrated? Thx again (thumbs u Not underrated at all. In fact they are applauded for their high level of preservation. There are just so few "key" type books that the ped is not more applauded. But they sold for huge premiums so definitely not underrated imo

Plod= purple label of death Yes, cgc and/or parent company sponsor site and control content

28,30,34,32

my guess is there will be no scan any time soon

No 9.2 has changed hands. Though I wouldn't mind being the receiving hand

Most of the main peds were sold off long before cgc But some of those are unaccounted for as well! I think he is referring to the fact/rumor/conjecture that there are some SF key issues whose whereabouts aren't known. Let's get Beerbohm back; I'm sure he can enlighten us!

I'm afraid I'm not familiar with a collection of SF books that were stolen... would need to see the quote or statement (shrug

For my own education I had Matt "unrestore" a moderate 7.0 Daring Mystery 2. It had a fair amount of spine work done to it. After the removal it was a blue label 1.5 with no spine to speak of. I had it re-restored. that's about what I would guess would happen... I didn't mean to imply you couldnt unrestore a book, I meant I'm not sure it would make sense to get a mod/ext into a blue label, and really have anything left worth even what it was restored... outside of chemical cleaning, all resto is removable, I presume, just not sure it would make sense.... slight, I've seen done a LOT....but even in bedrock's case, it didnt make sense to unrestore a mod to blue

I would say the Allentown is #2 easily....then Likely the Reily/SF, then Larson... Thanks, not too familiar with Allentown, put I know I have a back issue of CBM that will break its story and inventory down for me somewhere in the house. the allentown collection boasts , very likely, the nicest Tec 27 in existance , the nicest Capt america 1 in existance....all very high grade!

I would say the Allentown is #2 easily....then Likely the Reily/SF, then Larson...' Windy City, Kansas City are also nice Peds...

unfortunately I have NYCC the week after, so couldn't justify the con... I bet bedrock will be there
