  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.
  8. Let's make it a trifecta of Superboy's: Not easy issues to find this nice
  9. Like that A LOT!!!! Wow...it's not a Marvel!
  10. Ian! Nice to see you posting again! This particular book stands out when you see a nice copy due to the many bright colors on the cover. Just the different mix of colors in the Superboy logo really look cool on a nice copy. Yours is sweet...but I I knid of expect to see a sweet book when you post!
  11. Someone has to keep the cobwebs dusted here while you all hang out in GA forum
  12. One of my great regrets in comic buying was back in 1990 when I was buying books from what is now referred to as the Monterey collection was that I passed up the entire 124 issue run of Weird War in unread (Monterey books are the same quality as Oakland and Don Rosa) condition. He wanted $125 for the whole set. I forget what I did buy instead. When you see a whole run of books in that condition.....
