  1. From these comic book ads? I've always wondered how easy this stuff was for a kid to sell. How did it go for you? Did you make much money and/or earn cool prizes selling them? Were the cards easier to sell than the seeds? Where did you live at the time? I think it was back in about 1973 that I tried selling these “Lifetime Social Security Plates” … from what I can remember they were pretty cool and made of aluminum. The plates had an eagle and flag on the front along with the person’s name and social security number. I sold quite a few but mostly to friends and family although I went door to door throughout the neighborhoods and sold others as well. I don’t think these would go over very well in today’s world of identity theft, people wouldn’t be so accepting to give out their name and social but back then it wasn’t such a big deal.
  2. Awesome toys hepcat ! I love those Aurora models and had most of them when I was a kid, the only thing I have left is the beatup box top of the Dracula model The Mattel Thingmaker is epic ! I also had one of those along with the “Incredible Edibles” & “Creeple Peeple” in fact I just bought an original “Creeple Peeple” in mint condition. I love the vintage toys you post ! (thumbs u
  3. Bought a couple of nice CGC books from Chris in his "August" sales thread. As always a great guy to deal with, bomb proof & expedient shipping ! Highly recommend this phenomenal boardie (thumbs u

  6. Nice collection ... I remember the days of SNES
  7. Phil bought a CGC graded Cap #105 from me in my last sales thread. Great buyer ! (thumbs u Fast payment and smooth transaction, it was a pleasure ... thanks again !
  8. I commissioned Karl for a Captain America #1 art piece which I just received today, I was very pleased with the finished piece and Karl was a really nice guy to deal with. Great price along with excellent shipping and packing ! I’m really looking forward to future deals … thanks a ton ! (thumbs u
  9. Andrew was a great guy to deal with ... nice books, safe & secure shipping ! (thumbs u
  10. I just bought a few CGC books from Collin in his last sales thread … great seller, nice books, excellent packing and shipping. Highly recommend … thanks ! (thumbs u
  11. When it comes to a comic Czar such as Brock with Columbia Comics … I guess it would be easier just to copy and paste the word EXCEPTIONAL in every one of his feedback threads (thumbs u Although I’m really only a collector who may sale only an occasional book or so … Brock helped me by purchasing two books in my first CGC sales thread … Lightning fast payment and great communication. Columbia Comics is a first class operation in every aspect … THANKS !
  12. I just commisioned Karl for Captain America #1 Nuff said ! (thumbs u Yea Gino thats a really awesome piece you have there !
  13. Wow artboy your work is amazing !!! (thumbs u
  14. I’ve submitted a few moderns before but this was my first Silver/Bronze submission that I just got back from CGC yesterday. Nothing really high grade but some pretty cool books. These Iphone pics are not very good as I took them at an angle to reduce light reflection. I was really happy with this Captain America #119 … purchased raw from Bedrock at the Wizard Con in NOLA for a great price! I’m working on issues #100 to #200 and this is a sweet “white page” addition. Nice copy of Iron Fist #1 purchased from cdfever for $55 Invaders #5 purchased from a fellow boardie here ! Captain America #110 purchased from a fellow boardie … possibly could have been a 9.0/9.2 Low grade Avengers #5 purchased from a fellow boardie for a good price ! Low grade Batman purchased from Mark (kramerica) for $35 … thanks Mark ! (thumbs u Strange Adventures #119 purchased for $10 from Ray O’gara (gmci2112) who was the boardie here that was tragically murdered in November of last year. This was the only book I ever purchased from Ray but through the process of this one transaction I had great conversation with him about his (and my) adoration for the band “RUSH” … hence the “2112” in his CGC username. What a great person and I’m honored to have this book he sold me. Rest in peace Ray … I know from our chats that you were a genuinely awesome human being.
  15. My second deal with Brian ... I bought a Fantastic Four #11 CGC 4.5 SS Signed by Stan Lee and was extremely happy with the book, packing and shipping. Brian is a class act who I hope to buy more books from (thumbs u
  16. Bought a CAPTAIN AMERICA #109 CGC 9.4 White Pages from James ... The entire transaction was flawless ... awesome seller/member in every aspect of quality, shipping and packing. I really look forward to more deals with this guy (thumbs u Thanks a ton man !
  17. Definitely the ultimate man cave ... awesome ! (thumbs u
  18. Although I have a 4 bedroom house, aside from the master bedroom and guest bedroom my toddler son has taken up the other two rooms as his “playrooms” so I have decided to turn my office into my “comic room” until I can commandeer one of these rooms back to transform into a true comic room. I’m planning on using primarily Silver Age books with an occasional early copper or modern in which these books will typically be low value/grade books that are not really part of my “official” collection. The books will predominantly range in value from $50 to $100 and since they are low value books I’m not really concerned with damage from the sunlight although windows are tinted and blinds block the majority of the light. This is only the beginning pictures as I plan on adding comic racks with books, action figures and tons of additional framed books. I have a tremendous amount of wall space and plan on filling it with the beautiful and lively colors of awesome comics! I have over 20 more frames right now and gathering books to put in them. The majority of the books already up and heading my way are from the boardie’s here at CGC forums ... thanks a ton guys (thumbs u
  19. Awesome deal with Dave who sold me Daredevil #1-4 (CGC 2, 3, 4, 5.5) Excellent communication, prices, packaging and shipping. Books seemed to arrive before I made payment ! Definitely a first class member/seller (thumbs u
  20. Wow this guy is awesome ! Great books, bomb-proof packing and fast shipping ... Fantastic seller/member (thumbs u
  21. I just received ASM #2 (CGC 5.0) & ASM #66 (CGC 8.5) from Brock … This is my second deal with Brock and I’m very happy with his prices and exceptional service. It’s not every day that I buy a $900 book but I’m confident that I’ll purchase others with significantly higher value and will do so knowing that I have peace of mind with an honest and legitimate seller. Thanks ! (thumbs u
  22. I submitted 30 Moderns (Grimm Fairy Tale variants/exclusives) on August 10th and got them back last week on January 2nd ... overall I was happy with grades and service.
  23. Wow nice ! (thumbs u How much did it cost ?
