I just purchased a box containing various issues from an overseas auction so I might be able to ID it for you once I get them in-hand. As to value - not sure what a centerfold by iteself would bring but a lot of 14 issues sold this summer at Compal for $772 including the buyers premium.

Anybody pick up anything from the Tom Mackie auction a few days ago. Good deals were to be had though I haven't seen an official prices realized list yet.

Gator,

What do you predict this will go for:

Anyway, I like this whole idea of clubs for owners of comics with decapitated heads. I can't wait to see the "Roly Poly 14" club.

Speaking of which - I just recently picked this up from eccomic. Much appreciated.

What should one expect to pay for a Aquaman vs Great White Shark in nice condition

Gator,

How will Whiz #2 (#1) hold up against the other mega-keys over time? Will Fawcetts in general ever gain momentum? Or just the Raboy books?

Dear Gator,

Will Hello Pal #1 skyrocket in value once the movie comes out?

Couldn't agree more with all the comments here!! Genuinely nice and very pleasant to deal with. Big KUDOS to Sharon

Scrooge that is one heck of a reference library

Big KUDOS to Scrooge for a real smooth transaction. Enjoy those pre-code coverless reads.

+1. KUDOS to Snake Eyes for a great transaction

Big KUDOS back to Telerites (Jeff) for a great transaction. Thanks.

Scott

+ 1 Would love to see those Tecs and Actions reprinted cover to cover

Are you sure?? I don't believe the pre-Bats Tecs have been reprinted except IIRC 'Tec 1 in a Millenium edition one shot and even then I am not 100% of that.

The entire Tec 1 was definately reprinted in the Millenium edition

Maybe Rick was thinking of the pre-Robin Batman tec stories. Those are in the DC Archives of course

Just posted some coverless pre-code horror in the marketplace section. ECs, Mister Mysteries, Eerie, etc are all represented. Great stories you always wanted to read at decent prices.

Kudos also to nochips for a good deal.

 

And kudos to the following folks for nice transactions:

 

--Bio-Rupp

--Foolkiller

--october

--ft88

--archiefan

 

Also would like to extend a big thanks to drbanner for setting me up with the sweetest BA book I now own--a fetching ASM #129.

 

And to Pitboss who sent a slab to me in a Priority Mail box that, in transit, got absolutely punctured. I was a bit worried as this was a sweet Bats #227 SS...but the Pitboss packed the slab INSIDE of the box in such a way to where it remained unscathed. :hail:

Kudos right back atcha. Great transaction. Thanks Scott.

Thanks Sharon. A BIG KUDOS to you too. Great transaction!!!

If my memory is correct, a boardie found one recently for another boardie.

Yes that was me finding the .5 that Ben (swapto) now has. And I found Ian's for him. One more from the source that Ian's came from was auctioned soon after he got his years ago. So I am aware of 4 that became available since Ian publicized his quest plus yours. When did you get your copy?

Oh I don't doubt it for one minute! I'm sure there are many incredibly tough oddball books. Just not the typical book you would see in a group shot with Action 1-10 !

 

That photo, taken in 2005 when I completed the collection, pictures both the most valuable DCs and the rarest and scarcest DCs.

 

Of course a Happy Tooth dentist promotional comic looks odd on the same photo as Action 1, but if you have enough money to spare, you can fairly easily buy an Action 1 or a Detective 27, if you were as rich as Simon Cowell and didn't care what you spent, someone would sell you one tomorrow.

 

But you try and find a Happy Tooth, A Superman/Bradman, or a Twisted Metal for ANY price.

 

Or a Buzzy 70.

 

 

 

Hey Ian I just located another Buzzy 70 recently. That is only the third copy I'm aware of since I spotted the one you have

did you buy it from me at mega con

No Rick...I got it off of the Bay within the past month...so that brings the count to four that I'm aware of (thumbs u
