You were there when the deal went down I know. I didn't want to steal you thunder. When Pons unleashes the thunder I don't want to be anywhere near it. it'll be fartuitous if you avoid it. Fartunately I cant yet speak from experience, only hearsay.

Looking forward to more posts from circumstances. Meanwhile this came in today. I've been looking for a copy of this book for well over 20 years. It's probably my favourite Centaur cover. Thanks so much Ryan!

I got the raw copies to keep the #15 company.

These are still in the mail but Jeff's post suggests the timing is right to post 'em. These have always stood out for me because of the surreal covers, which also remind me of Symbolist paintings.

You're right - my secret fantasy is to be tied to the arms of a giant clock while being laughed at by a RFAVFF! That can be arranged.... Was I really accused of perversion by a grown man who collects children's comics of men in tights and funny animals?

His terror convinces. The object of his terror does not.

Gator posting a comic book? I see it, but I don't believe it!

You're a SF maniac, West (and before you zing me, yes I own the Larson copy). Another great Centaur! ....here is a Larson copy ......jb fantastic cover!

I've never even seen some of them.

Very reminiscent of the conservative French art critics response to the Fauvists, whom they called "wild beasts".

Great book, Jeff - compared to the elusive Jumbo 31, how tough are the surrounding issues? I don't know that there are more copies of 30 and 32 out there than there are of 31. Folks just don't seem to be as ardent in collecting them. I've only seen 2 copies of 30 and one copy of 32 available. The other issues in that range just seemed to have popped up at one point or another and the competition isn't usually very fierce. They may be very rare, too, I just happened to find the one available copy without having to search. I guess the truth is, the only issues that have been difficult to find are the ones that are promoted as rare so everyone squirrels away their copy. I've certainly heard about more copies of 31 being around than a lot of other issues, it's just that no one really cares about anything but 31. The SA census is sufficiently built out to correct conventional wisdom of the scarcity of a number of different SA issues. Some issues are more scarce than expected and others, less. We have learned a little bit about scarcity of GA but not as much as SA because I think the census is still far less complete due to intransigent collectors too stubborn to slab. Thank goodness you're not like that - oh - wait -

Funny ... that would be the best book in my collection Your collection is great in other ways. his collection is just plain great. he poor-mouths so we'll come on and tell him so, and we always comply. we're pitifully predictable. You're right - I fall for it every time!

One of the very best

The way television did for romance comics

Send me a pm!

Clearly by underestimating the grade I have offered you the book under false pretenses and the only ethical course of action is to take it back. If it helps with the sting, I thought it was a 6.0 when I sent it off to Matt Nelson. I hate you.

sorry you let the hello pal 1 slip by now, aren't you? very nice book, sir. I was holding out for the 50% off sale on the Mile High copy at Metro. No, that wont be until the next century. I love it when Metro offer a $50 discount on a $5000 book. It's such an incentive.

Yeah, we are mined out. Why is it that the best copies are always in the hands of buy-and-hold type collectors. Guys, it's time to share the wealth! Hah - I say Hah! Listen who's talkin'

I like this one a lot, whether is was once a 5 or an 8. It is a very cool book. (thumbs u But it was so much cooler when it was still mine.

Have to get me one of those!

That is spectacular-icious! Thanks Steve!
