It's awesome, isn't it?

I bought a Flash 167 there that ended up in a 9.4 slab. But lest you think me a genius, I also bought all 8-10 of his Flash #1s from 1987 at $7 a piece

Yes. Comics Unlimited! He had a Showcase 22 that was the first one I ever saw (around 1984) I think it was $200 and it might as well have been $1,000,000. But man did I think that book was cool.

I still have books with stickers from Blue Moon Comics on W. 10th Street. That guy had another store before and he had more $1.00 Bronze than you could shake a stick at in the early-mid 90's

Yep! I couldn't remember if it was always RangeLine or if it was something before that.

Yeah, but do you guys remember Andy Ash's westside place over by the Ensley's par-3 golf course on 56th street? Are you legit old school westside comic collectors, or just poseurs?

Yeah, summer of 86 as I remember it. Maybe '87

Stuart is such a great guy. He and I had our Comic Carnival nostalgia party several years ago. I had tried to apply for a job at CC, and they said they weren't hiring. Then about 3 weeks later, this little kid (Stuart) starts working there. I secretly despised him for years. Many years later, we bonded over his amazing art and the John R. Dykes "pedigree." Sorry I didn't see you (again)

I have one. I think it was one of yours, Chris.

Oh Snap!!!!

Fixed it.

Yeah I fly out tomorrow around noon. I'm sorry I will miss you, George.

I am in Rosemont. I highly doubt I will be back to the show.

Andy - I would have hugged you greggy style in the middle of the street, but it didn't register in my brain that it was you until you were gone!! . You need to wear that army helmet!

That is really cool. There have been discussions on the topic for years and years, and this is the first thing that indicates, to me, that there is at least a possibility of having a searchable database at some point.

That's another discussion entirely!

SS books get pressed ALL the time. I'm sure it would be a problem for the cadre of amateurs and "learn as you go" dry mount warriors, but it is no problem for people who know what they are doing.

There is no database that tracks the number of books by individual signature.

And to top it all off, they are not Bronze.

I just realized the signatures are the same day - 9 years apart.

Affleck is an A-lister. A-listers (to me) have a different set of rules. Because you don't know if you are ever going to get one again. Plus different people have different ideas of who their "must have" celeb is. Mine is Sean Connery on a Dr. No book. I would probably spend more on that than it is "worth." At some point - with very rare sigs - it is simply a matter of what amount will pry them out of another collectors collection.

That is great.

Rich Henn and some other smart people had the foresight to get him to sign some books. Here is mine: http://www.myslabbedcomics.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=15431&GSub=631

- that's good stuff.
