Gentlemen... I do not have a horse in this race. I enjoy the TV show immensely yet I have not picked up a single copy of the comic. So here we go... Remember Mystery Tales #40, the comic that appeared on LOST? Everyone said that it would eventually cool down and copies would be available after the show ended. I am still waiting and would like my copy. While I realize that WD is in far more abundance, I believe that there will always be a strong demand for this book. The demand coupled with the mystique will hold most of the value even after the dust settles.

Thanks Magnus I second that... nice haul.

I read that on Neal Adams: Renaissance Man Part I though the coding on that site is distracting. But it was interesting to read what happened years later. ================ OFFENBERGER: It must have been hard to do that. ADAMS: Twenty years later Joe Simon sought me out to get advice on how he might handle his character's rights. I sat and talked to him for a half hour in the DC coffee room, gave him names and such. He never realized or remembered I was the kid he talked to all those years ago. Its quite difficult to imagine Neal Adams not being important at one time in the comics world. Im gonna get Neal to sign this book Hopefully you catch him on a good day. I have seen him in person twice. At the Carbo show 2012 he was as nice a guy as anyone you would ever meet. This year I overheard a few people at the beginning of the show say he was acting like an . I saw a couple of things myself that made me roll my eyes and walk away. Maybe he was having an off day and everyone is entitled to those once in awhile. I will what's up again next year.

I have three AF15's. I do NOT have an original Spider-man cover. That is an amazing pickup.

Congratulations! I have a feeling it'll be the first of many. Most people get hooked after the first one. Thank you I want a nice Cap Cover and then perhaps I am good... It is like Original Art... I am okay with one and done. I still plan on upgrading the Spider-man collection and then there are a couple of Marvel keys and Golden Age Supermans I want. Otherwise... I am going to get myself into trouble.

Brock / Columbia Comics has a 4.0 available in the FS section for $900...

2013 has been a year so far where I have acquired some of my bucket list GA issues. Batman 9 and 11 are finally in my possession. However... I always wanted one and I can always say... this was my first Timely.

It will go poof and not locked. I wager a few boardies will go poof for a month in the process. I second this... Poof No Lock

Really?! Didn't know that..:

Anything of major interest or of significant importance occur in this thread since last night? It says 198 new posts and I don't have it in me. I must add though that if this thread is locked does Arch get -5?

There is a great variation of that story that a close friend of mine tells. When he was first on the job he was stationed to do a traffic detail by the 59th street bridge. The story that arch told is age old and my buddy had been itching to use it. Upon a guy going through the light to make the bridge my friend directed him to pull over. The guy was belligerent and my friend even to this day is not a PO that gives a ticket unless he has to. The guy was originally going to get a warning but became increasingly belligerent not wanting to "hear the lecture" as my friend tells it. "You Piece of S, why don't you stop the others that are doing the same thing?" "Sir, have you ever going fishing? When you go fishing do you catch ALL the fish?" Heh

That is an expensive way to buy bubble wrap!! but I imagine it is more rewarding. Nice books. I went to Staples the other day and was appalled at the price of bubble wrap.

I thought I was a member... Issue would definitely benefit from a press. However, I do not want to crack and press and resubmit on this because I am afraid that if the book appears to go too hight it might get a green label since the Stan Lee signature is undocumented at this point. It has been in my registry for awhile where a blown up pic can be seen there.

I needed some bubble wrap for stuff I plan on selling. So I won some things from Sparkle City. I have been in the hunt for a 9.4 copy of ASM 100 without the white stripe on the side for awhile. I am also a big fan of the WWII Disney books which are still relatively cheap in comparison to their superhero counterparts.

I am a big fan of Marcos Martin's Marvel work from his Spider-man covers. I saw this up on eBay and that it was signed by Allen Bellman, Timely Artist that also drew some of Cap's adventures. At the price that it was offered on the BIN I felt that it was cheaper than going to a show, getting a 9.8 signed and then sending it off to CGC. Also, I had no plans on picking up anymore art but for now, this is mine. I like pages that tell some type of story. This piece by Carmine Infantino was no different. I did not see any Flash pages that caught my eye and wanted to snag something before the prices went up.

What's not to like? Well, how about the entire premise of the book? I just had to google this because I had never heard of it before. I cannot help but wonder if some of the stories that Ennis rights are rejected scripts and premises that Marvel or DC refused to allow him to do.

Golden Age Time Magazines When scouring the internet for old comics, occasionally you find something cool that falls into the paper publication category but isn't a funny book. I have acquired a few of these from the time period and I must say, they are pretty cheap and easily affordable. They are time capsules that offer a glimpse into what life was like about 70 years ago, view the world that now refer to as the Greatest Generation. This is one of the few issues I own and one of the "cooler" issues to have. I picked this up in 2010 after realizing that It was Time's earliest publication reporting on the invasion of Normandy. Inside are articles that would seem out of place by today's standards. There is the standard reporting, war propaganda, features on officers and other areas of interests of the time. The advertisements are quite distinct for the time. I do not think I would ever get this CGC'd as it is more beneficial, ads and all to page through. The books are relatively cheap to obtain even in 6.0-8.0 condition. If the opportunity arises for you to obtain some of the older copies, I urge you to do so and give it a read. I found them pretty interesting and thought I would share. http://newsfeed.time.com/2011/06/06/d-day-through-the-archives-times-earliest-coverage-of-the-normandy-invasion/ Images to follow...

Because I am ridiculous sometimes... Actually... For some that have had the unfortunate experience of reading some of my late night posts when I whine, you know that I am seemingly up all the time doing schoolwork since I had the bright idea to go back to college in order to advance my degree further while already working a full time job. I work, I come home, I stay up all night doing paperwork for work and fulfill my assignments for school. I accidentally bumped into this somehow on eBay and realized that this pretty much sums up my life since January 2012. I finished my last session of my last class this afternoon. All I have left is a few seminars and then I have to finish my internship in order to be completely done. I know I already reward myself with a lot... (those that see my other posts know that to be true as well) but this piece spoke to me and basically sums up the weariness I have felt many of a time throughout the last 15 months. I have always been a fan of Romita Jr and if I was going to get a piece of comic book OA it was going to be a page from Amazing Spider-man. I do not know what the page is "worth" since OA is always a finicky market. However, this page is worth a lot more than what I paid, at least to me. My first page of comic book OA (I have some animation) I cannot wait to receive it.

very cool! Very impressive - nice pickup

I am envious. I have a 9.6 and one day plan on upgrading. I would even consider a 9.9 if such a thing is possible as CGC has yet to grade one out at that level.

Currently locked up at work until I find a suitable place that it will not get molested on my desk: Masterpiece Red Alert I doubt that the American retailers would bring this variant to sale in the states so I ordered the Japanese issue. I had the original and it was one of my favorite toys as a kid. http://tfsource.com/products/view/product_id/4480

Last purchase for awhile... Going to concentrate on selling off some other stuff... Form the Heritage Auctions..

This is great.
