    Griff's Comic journal

    By Griff,

    My trips and pitfalls as I change over from Silver age to Golden Age Collecting
    So I decided for my 2014 goal to switch my primary focus over from silver age Marvels to Golden Age Schomburgs. I think my pocket book is going to hate this. While I do not have the deep pockets of some out there I will do my best to live within my meager means ! maybe I can make some trades to help out

    What to by with the intention of trading or reselling
    So ive kept my eye on a few obscure places to try and find some quality books that I can move to fund my transition to golden age Schomburg's. Here is my first target for that ! A group of low grade none CGC'ed traders. Blue bolt # 108 with the always popular L.B. Cole Sci-Fi cover, Earth Man on Venus a 1 shot from Avalon that shouldn't be hard to move and Witchcraft #5 A classic cover ! wish me luck on the bidding

    Grrr Ebay tales of whoa :(

    By Griff,

    more tales or rip offs on ebay
    So occasionally I lose common sense and try and purchase comics off ebay. sure enough I got burned at least once if not twice this week.
    1st I bought a copy of X-Men 47 for 12bucks. payed for the book thinking all would be fine "its only 12 bucks after all"
    Just received a message from the seller stating
    "iam very sry but I posted this book twice and sent it out my mistake iam very sry and I need to cancel this sale .ill try to make it rite for you I got lots more books iam putting up soon ill give you one like a sub mariner or something good iam using my wife name and iam new at posting I messed up a couple not jus this one like I said very sry hope you understand"
    seriously! I mean honesty would dictate you have cancelled the aucton when you realized you duplicated it. and what the heck ami going to do with junk books I don't collect. /sigh I bought the 47 because it was cheap and I need it for my readers "still missing 44 readers... wait 45 now since this mess"
     
    Seconf one I bought a CGC'ed book from a guy ive done business with before. since ive met him in person and bought books from him before isent him cash for the book. that was dec 20th.... still getting the run around about when the book is going to ship
    I gotta remember to not be so trusting and not to use Ebay anymore. just not worth the heart ache

    My oddball adventures of collecting GA Don Wislow Books
    So After much thought and searching I decided to narrow down my focus to a single Golden Age type of book. I took the time to read different books from nearly every Genre. Jungle, War, Hero, Funnies ect. I knew i wanted something i could find relatively cheaply and something that i might even be able to pick upa pedigree run for "long term"
    That in mind I decided to Collect Don Winslow of the Navy books ! Why you ask? well I enjoyed the stories I have read so far. It has a flair of War era books, Hero Books and some great covers to boot
    I started off the year by picking up a nice crowley for 50 bucks !
