Matteo is good people. Great shipping! (thumbs u

Just picked this up today its low grade but still a complete copy

\

 

Very nice!

Nice pick up.

Went yard saling with the girlfriend this morning and most were duds. But the last one we stopped at i scored pretty big. Here's what i found...

 

Only one comic related item, too bad about the condition though.

 

A fawcett detective mag from 1948

 

And about 25 books from 1897to 1950. Here's the best out of the bunch. I was pretty excited to see the wreck of the circus because to my understanding, it's a tough one to find.

 

And this is the thing that gave me that rush of finding something cool at a yard sale. And 50 cents, there was no way this wasn't coming home with me.

 

It has the original label inside of it too, here's a couple close up pics...

The label says...

W. A. Gaines & Co. Distillers Frankfort, Kentucky

On and after September 1st, 1892, all Old Crow Whiskey bottled by us will be sold under this label. We guarantee the whisky contained in this bottle to be genuine old Crow when sold under our unbroken seal.

F.W. Hunt &Co. Boston, Mass

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And on the bottom of the bottle it has imprints stating the last sentence above.

Any bottle junkies here? Would you happen to know anything about this bottle? Age, Worth? I havn't dwelled to much into bottle but my g/f's grandpa is a bottle collector so i bought it for his birthday.

Nice pick up on the bottle. I would guess that the bottle dates from about the time of the label. Late 1800's. It appears to be a molded glass bottle (there appears to be a seam lime where it was molded) instead of blown glass and the fact that it has the lettering on the bottom of the bottle. Definitely a nice piece for display in you grandad's collection. Sorry I have no estimate on value.

Very Cool!

Got these at a garage sale yesterday. $1 each or 6 for $5. Didn't realize I had issue #1 until I got home. Love those photo covers!

Great Find. Those photo covers are a indeed worth your investment.

Here's the box. What did I find in it?

 

 

ASM #1? A double cover comic? 50 copies of X-Force #1?

 

I bought all of the Marvel and DCs from this box. About 72 books total. Here are some highlights.

 

 

Holy Stromboli Batman! Great find!

I was in his kitchen drooling on them a day and a half ago.

Dang the JLA 1 paid for the whole lot and more. 3.5 for sure after press, shot at 4.0.

 

$4 a book... that estate sale paid off.

 

 

Very Very Cool!

 

Had some Lois Lanes in the 20s that were nice mid grade, and a bunch of nicer mid grade Adam Strange too.

Here's the latest local Monday Flea Market Pick ups:

Great pick up!

Welcome to the Club!

I hate seeing War comics slip off the first page.

 

I know I forgot to post these few books I got from Shep late

last year.

 

Love this one and it has a great Heath story and art.

 

 

 

I shouldn't post this until all the payments are made and it's such a relief

to finally replace my old Beautiful copy I sold like a dummy. I was even

ready to over pay Metropolis for a CGC 8.0 copy one day if they still had

it.

 

 

 

I have always loved that OFF cover. (thumbs u

Nice Pick ups!

Sweet Atlas book Richard and are you starting to go after those now

too? Didn't you hear Dan say those books aren't very popular

right here on these boards about a week ago?

 

 

That is a Beauty!!

 

 

 

Nice grab at the thrift store and what are the odds of finding those two

key books. Nice work and great books.

 

 

I was at the Post Office today to mail Andy is last 150.00 of well hidden

cash so it's untraceable to that rotten buggar I live with and the

Postie tells me there's a package for me and sure enough it's from our

good friend Andy. What an awesome lot of 29 books.

 

I've got some scanning to do and here's a small sample.

 

 

I should have waited for his SS CGC 7.0 but I still love this one.

 

 

Thanks again Andy!!

 

I really shouldn't say my Husband is a rotten buggar and he's pretty cool

about most of my purchases... or the ones he knows about.

Love that OAAW Grey tone!

slowly getting the big 5 done

Cool Books!

Thanks Guys. I PM'd Shep about the GI Combat 44 since I was pretty sure it was a key. These were the only 2 books the guy had amidst a lot of 90's toys and other drek. I saw the 44 and new there was something about it, but could not remember. I am glad I pulled the trigger.

These boards have certainly opened my eyes over the last 2 years I have been here. I might have passed on these before.

Picked these two up at the local Flea Market. Paid $30.00 for the pair. I think I did Okay.

What do you all think?

Welcome to the Club!

Glad to have you here.

I hope it is a good show.

Merry Christmas to my fellow Showcase club members!

Welcome to the club and Welcome to the Boards! This is a great place for your first post.

You may want to drop into comics general and post a little about yourself.

Obviously there are double cover collectors, but out of 15k+ comics I own, mostly picked up as back issues, I have only one. So there u go.

Same with me. I don't have 15,000 books, but of the several thousand I do own only one is a double cover.

Great book called Armageddon by Max Hastings. It is about the assault on Germany in late 1944-45. Very well researched and written. A good read for WWII buffs.

Great pics Andy! I like the color. The Grey tone is amazing.

I now am officially a member of this club! I picked this up from boardie Kirk Kenobi and received it yesterday. YAY! It's a slabbed 3.0 cream to offwhite

 

 

Very Cool! Welcome to the Club!!

Hey guys, My 1000th post!! Can't think of a better place to announce it. Great to be a member of the club!

Kudos on #1000! Only fitting you use it in a thread about the book featuring the birth of your Avatar's namesake hero. (thumbs u
