  1. I met Alex Schomburg's son in San Diego this year, what a nice man! He sure enjoyed showing and talking about the talent of his father. Timely
  2. Nice Mile High Exciting you got there, nearmint Timely
  3. Love those Nedors, wish I could afford to collect them too! Timely
  4. A true NM Detective #140 would be sweet, but come on, that copy looks VF! Maybe structurally NM, but to the eye it looks iffy. Timely
  5. The reason I sold them is because I was out of money and out of sources. I bought the remaining MH's that Pat Kochanek and Gary Carter owned. Gerber long sold off his books and John Verzyl was also out. Geppi was not selling his DC's. There are about 1300 DC superhero GA books. I was trying to get them all, but I soon realized that 10 lifetimes would not be enough time to get them and complete the Mile High DC set. I did have own over 200 of them, but with no more money and no more books to buy, I decided to sell. When you collect MH books, there is only one copy. So If you own Action 1-100 but need # 60 to complete the set, you are stuck, especially if the # 60 is lost, or the owner "Will never" sell it. I always loved Timelys, the art was always more exciting to me than DC. Now I am trying to complete the 429 Timely set. I still prefer pedigree copies, however now I am not stuck into getting the one and only MH copy. Timely
  6. The reason I have nice books is because growing up from age 14-30 I spent all my free income on high quality GA books. I had low overhead and was able to buy nice books, not to mention I was in the right place at the right time for many purchases. It pays to befriend one of the top dealers in the country! Timely
  7. My friend John Verzyl owns about 85% of them, lucky sob. Before I started collecting Timelys I sold him 2 of the 3 MH's that I owned, I will never get those 2 back. Timely
  8. Not exactly. I xerox the front cover and punch holes in the xerox for my three-ring binder. It's a nice way to view your own collection! The attachments are scans of those xeroxes, my books are in the bank! Timely
  9. So who is "Whiter" Archies Mr. Justice or DC's Spectre? Better get dome SPF 75 for these guys, they could get a moonburn! Timely
  10. And finally to round off this subject we have another Hitler, Tojo Mussilini cover with Young Allies #9. Schomburg pulled out all the stops here! CGC 8.0 copy. Timely
  11. Next is USA #5, Incredible Hitler, Tojo Hussilini cover as they threaten Churchhill. CGC 9.2 Chicago copy. Timely
  12. Next on my list are some Hitler covers, First off is the USA #2 9.4 Chicago copy. WOW!!!! That is Hitler behind the wheel of the dreaded "Drill of Doom" Machine. Lousy drunk driver! Timely
  13. I've wanted this book since I first saw it in Gerber 13 years ago. Submariner #9, CGC 9.4 copy! The yellows on this book is amazing, but the scan messed it up! Timely
  14. Next on my list of favorites is Sub-mariner #13, classic snake-nazi cover. This is a CGC 8.5 copy. Timely
  15. Ok, here is my last pic of the night. This is a truely rare book. Not only that, it IS the MILE HIGH COPY, Marvel Mystery Comics #89. Not too many people ever get to see a Timely Mile High. Timely

  19. Today I am attaching pics to this tread of my favorite run, Marvel Mystery Comics. Might as well start of with the first issue MARVEL COMICS #1. CGC 9.0 copy, enjoy! Timely
