mysterio

Just noticed the horse on the back "pitching for a big Baby Ruth." Nice. The thought of that chicken going after the nuts is pretty bad too.

Laugh #67 G -- asking $16 + shipping Another fine example of "beat but complete" is first up. Obvious wear/tears/creases. Spine split up to bottom staple, which is detached. Cover is attached by a whisker at top staple, just don't look at it too hard. Centerfold is attached at both. Some interior tears, but no tape, missing paper, or writing. All in all not bad for the technical grade. EDIT: apparently I wasn't sufficiently observant when I scanned the book. That lower right corner of the front cover is there, it must have just been folded under during the scan.

I'd say there is about a 90% chance it would be deemed color touch. Even though minor, it did do a good job of hiding the abrasion up there at the corner, considering I didn't see it when I'd gone over the book several times. Only the blown up scan revealed it to me years later.

Ah yes, the uncommon purple-brown form of color-blindness.

Three whole books posted today has left me a little winded. I've got to finish writing an exam, which will take up the rest of my limited brain power for this evening. I'll get back to listing tomorrow with Laugh & Pep, which should (hopefully ) go quite a bit faster.

Last Giant... Archie's Pals N Gals #22 VG/VG+ -- asking $13 + shipping 100% complete, great color & gloss. Minor curl at spine, 1" separation at top spine w front cover, but the rest of the spine is solid and paper is fine. Very solid copy.

Archie's Pals N Gals #21 VG/F -- asking $18 + shipping 100% complete, nice spine, only a light curl at spine, no cover separations.

Three more Giants, then back to regular sized Laugh & Pep to wrap up the thread. Archie's Pals N Gals #20 VG- -- asking $15 + shipping Great color and gloss, 100% complete with no interior blemishes. Spine curl is stronger in this issue than previous ones, front cover is separated from the spine 1" up top and 2" at the bottom. Spine paper is in great shape.

Yeah, it has gotten bad because I need to go through the giants page by page with Grand Comics Database, which slows me down. I can't just sit down and fire off a couple of listings inbetween all the other quarantine BS I am working on. The B&V run stopped at #100, sorry!

Archie's Pals N Gals #19 VG -- asking $35 + shipping Marilyn Monroe cameo and a great cover. 100% complete, nice pages. Slight stacking curl at spine. 1/2" seperation at top spine w front cover, spine paper is solid.

No, Heroes is east coast, which may make a difference here. I'm betting Texas will be on or near the leading edge of reopening. We'll have to see what happens in the next month. I just thought it was relevant news to those of us interested in FE Dallas.

Heroes Con has canceled, and they were scheduled for the same weekend as this rescheduled FE Dallas...

Slow going in here this week, but hopefully I can pick up the pace over the next couple of days. Archie's Pals N Gals #18 VG -- asking $27 + shipping SOLD Sci-Fi cover. 100% complete, no interior problems. Touch of stacking curl at spine, 1" seperation of front cover at top spine, 1/2" at bottom, but solid along the rest of the spine. Minor paper loss at bottom spine but otherwise paper on spine is good. Wrinkling in Veronica's hair on right side.

I did, and no real issues. Took more paper than I might have liked, but no purple remained.

I think it'll depend on how much Texas (and Dallas specifically) relaxes restrictions by then. I imagine the SDCC decision was made at least partially due to the fact that the convention center is being used for relief work. I haven't heard anything similar for the Kay Bailey. If it does happen there will be a lot of masks and a lot of hand sanitizer, and hopefully a lot of comic shoppers.

Took care of the issue, it will be off to CGC in our next sub (7-10 days). Will report back.

Thread updated. Very slow with things this week, trying to stay off the computer when I can. Archie's Pals N Gals #11 VG/VG+ -- asking $27 + shipping Very solid copy, 100% complete with nice pages. Bit of a spine curl, bit of a split at lower spine. Spine paper is very nearly complete and is colorful.
