I thought Barry was more of a golden age seller? His stock mainly came from buying out a used book store in Sacramento, as well as Holmes Books in downtown Oakland.

He was a Golden Age collector. But, he was into Silver Age at that time also. He and Bill Dubay, Rudi Franke put out a fanzine also .Yancy street.

Best of luck in your search.  I'm trying to fill in #101-115 in 9.0 as well, and I don't think I've ever seen a #113 in grade.  I did pick this one up in the last ComicLink auction:

I am not a date stamp fan at all, but I liked the faintness and placement of this one enough to go after it.

One of the more scarce books of Strange Tales esp. in grade. Congrats!!

There was speculating going on in the early 1960's.  I recall Bob Beerbohm talking about purchasing multiples of Hawkman #1 , Daredevil #1, etc. back then. There  was a big time collector named Barry Bauman I think bought a lot of books thru a distributor. Mitch Mendy would know, he knew Barry. Maybe you can get Mitch to chime in. Hey Mitch, are you out there?

Thanks guys. This one rarely shows up in anywhere near presentable shape, so I'm glad to have it.

Jayman, it wasn't cheap, but I don't know if it's because of Ditko or not. Pre-code has been going crazy lately, and this is a pretty desirable cover.

Congrats! Great book. Have one myself in a 5.0. Slieght color touch on spine. Ditko at his best.

That's what I'm talking about! Love the colors! 

My favorite cover of the silver age -Showcase #34 1st Atom. I have 2 copies one slabbed , one to read. Not scanned though. Does anyone have a high grade one to post?

+1 

+1

Green Lantern # 5 seems to be scarce. WW2 cover. It does turn up but not often. Did anyone ever see the Church copy? Was there a Church copy?

Beautiful books. I have very fond memories of those 2 books.  Bought them off the newsstand back in 1966.

The top left is one of my favs. There's something about hippos...

That's Rapheal Astirita. underated artist from the Golden Age. 

Wow! How prophetic.

Hi, I have certain comics on my want list which I have saved in my favorites, for ebay. Newly listed 1st. I check them almost every day.

Brave and the Bold 85 ( New style Green Arrow by Mr. Adams) seems to be very tough to find in anything above 7.5.

A few years now and I don't recall seeing an 8.0 or better. 1969 comic. 154 Universal graded isnt very many but still this one is a challenge. I'm just trying to find an 8.5 or 9.0.

Wonder why so few come around.

Market Scarce! 

Thank You kind sir.

Your on a roll Larry.Love The Thing #12. Have one myself. Classic Ditko.

Congrats on a great book. I'm seeing some incredible books being posted today in the forums.

Here's one you don't see often.  Scarce.

You have great taste Jack.

I will always remember his run on Sgt. Fury. Rip Gary.

She will surely be missed. Rip Marie. She could do it all. Pencil, ink. and color. Loved her work in Not Brand Echh! Her version of the Hulk was great also. Subby, Kull, She also designed the Merry Marvel Marching Society Kits back in the 1960's etc. I could go on.
