Nice collection! Have at least one of each signer?

Yep, I fubar'd that, thanks for the recovery. :thumbsup:

What site is it that lets you know about the estate sales? Estatesales.net I think.

Did you get these back from Megacon yet?

I swear as soon as the 10 or so of us get done people will be going "where did everybody go?"

Ok, so the countdown begins. My books were received by CGC today

I just want one Dave OA page. Just one.

I want one!

Welcome to the boards! WTTB

I recently signed up for a website that lets me know when there are estate sales going on in my area and I always look through the pictures to see if there is anything I want. Well about two weeks ago I happened to see the corner of what looked like a Classic Illustrated. This was the first time I had seen a comic in any estate sales in my area for some reason so I thought sure I'll go. So I track them down in the basement and it is literally a stack of Classic Illustrated comics that are in various states going all the way back to # 3. The # 3 is a reprint because it was a 15 cent issue but I picked it up anyway and I picked up about three more, the best looking ones in the stack. Nothing better than Good condition with brown pages but at $1 a book I couldn't pass having them. Plus I think the #73 was only printed once and was the nicest of them all and might even be worth slabbing just for preservation.

So let's do the math and see how long it takes. I sent the books priority mail on Monday. They SHOULD arrive Wednesday. Lets say they get them Thursday. Are they off on Friday? If so we even give them the benefit of the doubt all the way to Monday the 25th. So the last 6 days of April, May has 31 days, and I leave for Heroes on the 2nd of June so I would need the books back by the 1st. So 6+31+1 = 38 days and the modern is suppose to take 20 days. Even two weeks late I should still get the books by the 1st

Mine was as blank as the day is long. It was the second book in, so very little suspense. Today that is a very blank book.

So any luck when everybody cracked those boxes on finding any sketches?

No, but end of May was going to be one week late. If it's two weeks late they might get back after I get back from Heroes and that would mean I won't have anything to trade with anyone and I would be sad

Thanks! Hopefully by the end of May I will let everyone know how they came back. :thumbsup:

Cross some fingers boys and girls I just sent in a Vanguard Illustrated # 2, a Crossfire # 12, an Alien Worlds # 4, a DNAgents # 24, and a Jonny Quest #5 to get graded along with a bunch of other stuff. I'm really hoping these come out nice to kick off my Dave Stevens slabs :thumbsup:

I might let you do the leg work for me, you seem to have a grasp of the do's and the do not's when it comes to Dave.

I actually like that one better but I guess mine has red hair :: I won't be complaining about a quick sketch from Campbell anytime soon....

It was all I could do not to do a happy dance right there. ::

and here is the Gen 13 #1 Blank by Campbell with the Fairchild quick sketch:

You know, this is going to sound stupid but I don't have a single one of the Betty Page books. I've got a bunch of other stuff but just have not come across the copies of those I wanted at the right price yet. Nice pick up!

It just shrank about 280 books today! If I sold books like I have been doing today I would open a shop :: So that means 8 long boxes and one CGC box nearing 2/3 full that was just started in December.

Sean, I bet it looks like this: I completely forgot that mine looked like that too. Here is the Danger Girl

When I was looking at Alter Ego thinking about ordering that other cover of theirs they have of Dave's I think I stumbled across this one. Great one though!
