Timely

My local 7-11 (where I got some of my first comics btw) had room for only 4 arcade games, so they were switched out every 6-8 months. I remember playing Pole Position, Pac Man, Dig Dug, Joust, Centipede, Galaga and a few others I can't recall right now. Later on they put in Ms. Pac Man, Dragonslair, Journey (a game based on the music band) & Tron. I had to travel quite a bit further on my bike to play Gauntlet

Sweet!

If you cut them it will come back trimmed if they see it. You can carefully tear them open by hand.

An early Timely, Centaur and Lev Gleason artist that NEVER gets talked about is Steve Dahlman. He did the Electro stories in Marvel Mystery Comics.

Siamese.

It sounds like in the podcast this week you are coming around to my idea (with help from Glen)!

If a piece is moved from for sale to sold, there is a vacant spot. It would be cool if a new piece could be added so the seller is back up to 18 pieces. Kind of like when a dealer sells a wall piece at a con, he replaces it with another. This will have the added benefit of buyers coming back again and again to see what's new. For that matter, perhaps have a "newly added" search function once the show starts that will list any pieces added after the event begins!

I've got art by Budd Root, Edgar Church, a Shelly Moldoff cover and a nude Catwoman pin-up.

Pressing was moved from Florida to Dallas this month. That should have a big impact moving forward!

Oh my!

Very enjoyable! Looking forward to more. I don't have FB so I'll have to settle for seeing it on youtube a day later!

I actually thought it sold cheap! It's a great cover imo and other Infantino Batman covers have sold for way more in the past!

Marvelous!

Malvin is right. No collector will buy this and a dealer will offer 30-40% to buy it all. I'd sell these through comiclink.

Me too!

At age 12, My mom bought my 1st comics in 1984, a 3-pack of GI Joe #21-23. I then convinced my mom to get me a few subscriptions, GI Joe being one of them. I went to my 1st comic store and bought all the back issues I could afford. #1 & #2 were way too expensive for me at the time, so #3 was the earliest issue I could get with my $2.00 a week allowance! lol. I saved up for 5 weeks to get that $10 back issue! In 1987 when I was just 15, I started collecting SA keys & Spider-Man, trying to get every Spider-Man appearance in a comic. I was about 95% complete when I sold the collection & started buying exclusively GA, mainly pedigrees & DC's from the Edgar Church/Mile High collection. I sold most of that from 2000-2002 & started buying Timelys. I had about 230 Timely's at my height of collecting, all were unrestored 8.0-9.8 copies. Along the way I also collected GA keys, Action #1, All Star #1, 3 & 8, Cap #1 (9.2), Marvel Comics #1, Young Allies #1... etc. I also went after buying all the San Francisco Pedigree Copies I could find, having about 100 of those a few years back. I still have my Hitler cover collection & other books, Timelys, etc... but I've really been enjoying the OA I've purchased over the past 15 years. I was lucky enough to get the cover to JLA #227, which was one of the 1st comics I ever bought off the spinner rack at my local 7-11. I'm still trying to get a few of the other OA covers to books I bought as a kid. About a year and a half ago I decided to go after Spider-Man art, as Spider-Man was my first love when I was 15 years old. I didn't want to collect the comics again, been there done that, so I decided to buy art. My favorite time period is the Ditko era. The art is so innocent, simple (yet dynamic) & refreshing to me. So that's my 36 years of collecting comics in a nutshell!

It also appeared in Spider-Man #1 Platinum Edition from 1990.

Got a customer for this one?

Duh! I even owned a Destroyer Duck OA cover!

Yes but Kirby drew it all (with the exception of ducks!) and that is what we are comparing here.

I think Barks limited work (meaning ducks only) also limits his appeal. He's the king of ducks... but nothing else!
