The Black Hand ®

The work Frazetta did on those covers was amazing. I never collected those but I always loved them.

I haven't read the grader notes but that Supes 9 looks like it could be a 9.4.....if it were a Promise.

Speaking of splash... what's this from?

Looks like he's in St. Petersburg...

Let's drop in and surprise him!

I don't remember meeting him, but evidently I did and gave him a "want list" in 1966.  Here's the card he sent to tell me what he had...I didn't buy the comics from him because I didn't have that much money back then. 

I used to hang out at his house and leaf through his comics. Tons of GA. It's great that you kept that card.

Is that the guy who lost his collection (of many San Francisco books) to a fire in the Oakland hills?

No, I think that was Teddy Dang. Barry got rid of all his books and died in an accident.

Any West Coasters remember Barry Bauman from Oakland and his Bat Cave in the 60's?

This is madness!

And they are now... no longer mine. 

I know how that feels.

Yeah, whomever graded that Gangsters can't win... well, I guess I don't even need to say it, but if I subbed that book, I'd be ecstatic with a 7.0

I now realize that I've owned a lot more 9.2s than I thought I did.

Is the "S" stamp included in that auction lot? 

Oh...I thought that was an 8 which are the number of letters in Rockford.
