  1. Overdue kudos to ft88 for some early X-Men, Rocketeer for a nice CGC Lois Lane, marveljunkie for some GA horror, comicseekers for some Treasure Chest and Millies, and Dano for a sweet CGC Jungle 34 and a bonus raw 34 to boot!
  2. Beautiful book, Ryan! I have a reader/beater copy of #3, but that is one sharp copy you have there. And hey, that guy in red looks strangely familiar to me... Love Science Comics
  3. we need a CGC board vigilante squad in every state and country.
  4. Sorry, but anyone who would send that kind of money to Germany, without seeing the book first other than in scans should consider having his financial transactions supervised. you'd figure that if some dude had $10K to spend on a book he'd fly out to germany to kick his bleeding arse. my thoughts exactly
  5. Just won this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...N%3AIT&rd=1 Unfortunately, I've deviated from my GGA focus and now also consider WWII propaganda books
  6. Perhaps this has been addressed before, but is it simply just of question of board (side of contact) pH, or rather the capacity of the board to interact with the comics and alter pH, or buffer changes in comic paper pH that might occur naturally? Is the goal simply to have support that won't generate an acid insult? I'm sure you don't want a highly basic board, as I assume paper has some preferred pH range. It seems to me you want a board that maintains a non-damaging pH over time when stored with a comic, and ideally it has some buffering capacity to mitigate enviromentally- (or book-) induced changes in pH.
  7. Nice eye for cover art. That WW12 is high on my want list. There was a CGC 8.0 (or 8.5?) on ebay some time back that went too cheap.
  8. 46 Been collecting since 22 BUT I only started collecting GA a couple of years ago. I think largely because I gravitate towards things I don't know well, I like how GA books date themselves, there is more a sense of history, and this is the pre-code era.
