  1. My ISP only allowed 10 MB of image storage per account, so I had my comic covers spread over several different e-mail accounts. I finally rearranged everything into a Photobucket account and have it all nice organized and ready for many many more scans. The downside is that I most likely killed every cover scan I have ever done on this board in the last few years doing it. I am going to repost a few favorites now, some of you have seen them already. Photobucket (I sprang for the premium service) really is a nice service, and with premium it's only like 25 bucks a year.
  2. All your books are common and they suck Your right, maybe we should focus on the rare bronze age era
  3. If your Action2kid I must be like Action1000kid
  4. Not to bad mouth Action1kid, but I really do see you more as an Action2kid. S Steve's on roll...I never thought he had a sense of humor
  5. I have been fortunate enough to see this book in person, it is real pretty!
  6. Batman had some weird stuff going on in the late 50's - early 60's era. It's a good think Carmine Infantino came around and got that "new look" started in '63.
  7. Very nice! What do you grade them as? The 56 is beautiful, ow/w pages and some nice gloss on cover, I think it is vf/nm material. The 63 is just as nice, except there are a couple spots on the back cover that would crucify in CGC terms...but nonetheless it has beautiful presentation of a horribly difficult book to find with nice eye appeal. I bought it for about the "fine" price...sell me books like this all day long Completists have a somewhat diiferent perspective on their collecting goals. In my case I want copies that have nice eye appeal, but I don't get too worried about the "technical grade"...grading does come into play though because that is how prices are arrived at. I tend to stay away from these kind of books in 9.2 or better because they price at multiples...so I look for 7.0-9.0 raw copies priced around guide. I settled for some lower graded copies in completing my Jimmy Olsen collection, but I am being pickier with the remaining books I am looking for. You dont have to have a slabbed 9.4 to appreciate a nice looking comic. In fact, when I browse through my collection reminiscing...I like to pull the books out and smell and look through them. You just cannot do that with slabbed books.
