  1. Sorry but I don't believe she ever did complete it. Certainly not back then, anyway. Every obscure book I enquired about turned out to be unknown to her. I meticulously researched to ensure none were missing. Anyway, it never was and never has been a contest. I had a goal when I was ten that I completed forty years later. and I for one applaud you on that feat... I once thought about going after the same goal as you, but quickly realized I didn't have the patience...how you managed to maintain it for 40 years is impressive (thumbs u Go on and do it Rick! You could knock it out in 40 weeks I doubt that
  2. the swipe is great, that action 8 is

  4. I must have missed the 13's on ebay...personally, the yellow 13 I like more than the 16, but that is just me... here are my copies:
  5. I just had Matt reattach the cover with rice paper and do a little cleaning... book is the same, just slight "resto" done that didn't structually affect the book (thumbs u
  6. great job peter... but, may I mention something, you always "double" post...
  7. wow, those Adv pulps comparisons are outstanding!
  8. That was at a time when financial pressures were getting to me and I was merely thinking aloud and considering it. I made a couple of very tentative and indefinite enquiries briefly. Mainly because I went heavily into debt to complete the collection a few years ago. But in the cold light of day, I realised the idea was ridiculous after forty years, and I fought off the temptation.
  9. from hughes? Hughes had the Church copy. dern, that one looks just as nice, GREAT pick up!
  10. I loved it when I owned it for a year or so (thumbs u
  11. I found 13 to be the toughest book of the run for me...only seen 2 issues for sale in the past few years...I should have bought them both
  12. I agree..cap 13 and 16 are among the toughest issues to obtain....great book!
  13. Very nice! Lovely copy whatever the grade. agreed, that is a great book! Always been tempted to go for a destroyer cover run. I did that once and it was a blast. I've considered going for them again. Take the plunge George I encourage all of you fine folks to go after the run Can't afford it now - just bought an AMAN #26
