G.A.tor

hello all... I saw the book in Chicago....I believe the brittle pages cgc noted were the reason for the return (we would have to ask primetime, but that is what harley told me), and it got a "lower" number grade due to that...harley sold it for an attractive price (or in chicago was asking a very fair price) and if I had not already had a copy, I might have bought! It is unrestored, and after all, that is a rarity in its own right! rick

when you are ready, shoot me a PM....might have an opp for you gator

Hi Bill! TGeek... you do realize that bill and I and parker get bedrock all to ourselves this weekend, don't you?...what to do...ah...what to do gator

well done Fish! now go buy you a #1 gator

nice gator

just when I think I am out...BAM!, I get sucked back in... gator

I am not too active in either now. I pick up GA with some runs I am looking to finish off (like Super Mystery and Four Favorites-- one in each) or a 'neat' cover or the periodic need to feed my Larson addiction. I pick up GA OA on occassion. To me it is great stuff and relatively inexpensive compared to SA art. I am at the point that if someone said "Hey Jon, you cannot buy anything else, I would be just fine". Presently, I am perfectly content sharing info on the books and sharing the books. Jon and we certainly appreciate it....gator

2 What more can a person say but that is just friggin unreal! Do you still have all these treasures? Dennis I believe he does because if he ever put the "for sale" sign up there would be a frenzy like nothing we have seen in years. (all of it!)

just remember who I offered the book first, too gator

That is a great looking Tec#1. Great purchase That's a great looking copy. Any restoration? Thanks George and Whet! Extensive resto but none of its on the cover (except for a small tear seal), almost all on the spine! Congrats;on a true beauty!!!! If I had a book like that I wouldn't be able to sleep for days just admiring the cover. As far as restoration is concerned I agree that having restoration on a book like this is prudent and worthwhile. Geez, why doesn't anyone sell off some nice high grade Submariners..... Or, maybe they do, and I just don't know the secret handshake to the Big Boys Club.... JTM...if I collected subby, you would be right behind ciorac in the offer dept, but, alas, I don't gator

we still have not gotten over my wife's moms death...chin up... gator

I would love a genuine wrist watch! gator

Did you buy that also?? the man is a maniac buying machine gator

I think I commented in another thread that of all the early GA (especially pre timely centaur esqe) artists, I think Gust is among my early fav's! gator

that is one of the reasons I love restored books...it just looks "so" nice....wish mine looked that good gator

love those centaurs!

Thanks, Richard must be that heat wave in TX! gator

you mean ronaldo?

nope, extensively restored.... I have to tell you all, on the keys, I really prefer to buy restored copies... just more bang for my buck! gator

one of the best copies I have seen gator

I was very fortunate that Centaurman assisted me with initially getting this beaut, so when I had the chance to pick up a second Tec 1, I wanted to return the favor to a fellow boardie, and now SW can carry on the legacy.... a GREAT, great book to have gator

thanks...I love all the xmas themed covers...just got my CC 13 back from cgc, and the sensation 38 is great, but this one is special too! gator

SENSATION for me! (especially 2-10, and 90-100) also Funny Pages V2 # 12 (December 1938) Green Lantern # 18 (Christmas Cover - Winter 1945 ) gator

that was always one of my favorite covers!

love those Tecs! gator
