There is one on the census, a 3.5 https://www.cgccomics.com/census/grades_standard.asp?title=Sun+Girl&publisher=Superior+Comics&issue=1&year=1948&issuedate=9%2F48

...and a few other pics from that amazing night!

Myself, Larson & Mark.

RIP!

I was at that dinner too (I know there’s a picture floating around of Larson, Mark and I). It was great to meet him, talk to him and hear a few stories. What was just as great was meeting all the current collectors & owners who could appreciate the Larsen collection. RIP Mr. Larson. You will live on through your family and your childhood reading material!

It seems like just yesterday I took this pic of Herb Trimpe (white shirt) at a con.

Nice page! Wish I had something you wanted!

With this decade coming to a close, 2011-2020 has had many losses. I made a list of all the comic book creators who left us this past decade. I'm sure I left off many. Feel free to add to the list. 2011: Gene Colan, Joe Simon 2012: Ernie Chan, Sheldon "Shelly" Moldoff, Al Rio, John Severin 2013: Dan Adkins, Nick Cardy, Carmine Infantino 2014: Al Feldstein 2015: Murphy Anderson, Herb Trimpe 2016: Jack Davis, Steve Dillon 2017: Rich Buckler, Sam Glanzman, Dave Hunt, Dan Spiegle, Len Wein, Bernie Wrightson 2018: Norm Breyfogle, Steve Ditko, Harlan Ellison, Gary Friedrich, Russ Heath, Stan Lee, Marie Severin, Mort Walker 2019: Ernie Colan 2020: Al Bellman, Richard Corben, Mort Drucker, Denny O'Neil, Joe Sinnott

Winner Winner!

Sorry!

Trimming isn’t restoration, it’s desecration. Staple replacement isn’t restoration, it’s conservation.

I was apart of that fiasco as well. I bought the Flash Comics #56 MH from said Texas dealer. I took the book directly to Gary Carter & John Verzyl that San Diego where they both agreed it was the actual, true MH copy! Next year at San Diego Pat Kochanek also looked at it and agreed mine was the real MH copy.

No, you are not altering the comic book's chemical composition by pressing. Pressing removed bends. When you open up a comic, you bend it. When you close the comic book, you bend it. Does bending a comic constitute restoration or conservation? Of course not! Pressing bends the book back to it's natural state using heat & moisture...much like living in Florida!

Yes, but you are adding nothing to the comic that isn’t already found naturally, heat and moisture, you are just doing it in a controlled environment!

You don’t clean a comic book to conserve it, you clean it to make it look better... aka Restoration! Likewise... You don’t color touch a comic book to conserve it, you add color to it to make it look better... aka Restoration!

When you chemically clean a comic book you are fundamentally changing the physical composition of the paper on a microscopic level. The sizing that is put on the paper from being manufactured is stripped away. Pressing with heat and moisture do none of that.

You don’t clean a comic book to conserve it, you clean it to make it look better... aka Restoration!

The All American 16 was only graded once.

Marvel Fanfare #14 p20 by Rick Leonardi

The owner was probably offered a million dollars to sell it out right vs auction, in which the under bidder would have been way lower. Win win!

So the consignor decides if Fishler makes 10% or 10% + 15%? I don’t think so!

$888.88

At $1000 per character it’s just over $50k.

I regret not buying the DD 163 cover! It’s better and was cheaper!
