I think prices are relatively stable, except for a handful of icon and heavily in demand, genuinely scarce books that rarely turn up in any kind of decent shape. Even Strange Tales 1, a book I considered to be very tough to find even in VGF has turned up on ebay in the FN range three times in the last couple of months (admittedly after a year long absence). Prices weren't too far from guide, although guide is high on that book...... On the other hand there's the Gaines File Copies - the horror / crime titles (especially books such as Crime 22, Shock 6, Crypt 17, Vault 12 etc.) go for crazy amounts if the book is 9.2 and above - certainly more than the Sc-fi or War books. That market has never cooled off.

I'd be interested in any HG Byrne stuff. Pence copies accepted. 'Ere you go - if the entry doesn't say "cents" or "ND" (non-distributed) then it's pence......

shucks. I wish you had books I needed. Email me a wants list. You never know......... Dear Andy, Here is my want list. 1. Astonishing Tales #25 Thanks, Rick And here's the punchline.....I haven't got one. I do have most of the other Deathlok issues in stock in super HG, but they're pence copies. They are very cheap, tho'.

shucks.

BTW, Scott and Tom (lmk when the item arrives) - thanks for the unsolicited testimonials. I'm tempted to say shucks.

Agreed. I've bought two or three times from Andy, and have been very pleased. His selection is definitely impressive. Definitely worth a look from more folks. No Tales of Suspense from #39 to #74. Are you SURE??

Excellent poll. FWIW, I voted for EC, Comic Media and Gilmore. Ajax-Farrell would've been 4th.

Who ..? I much preferred your old avatar.

Tremendous books.

For the record....... Nobody can slip anything by you. Thanks for showing us......uh......the internet.

For the record.......

Yeah i make my comic collecting money from mugging dozens of old women a day. I feel sorry for them but my need for comics brings it on. It's not the first time my friends have come home to find me curled up in the corner clutching an X-Men 11 sobbing frantically. I'm not bothered by anything in that paragraph except the bit where you state that you were "sobbing frantically". That I'm afraid is tautology - you cannot sob frantically - sobbing is a quiet, reflective act. You can't be frantic at the same time. Apart from that, perfect!!!

It certainly is, Brad. It's also the reason why I'll be scrolling left and right on every thread you participate in until the Mods sort out a break or two in the name. Nuffin' personal, and I don't mean to bust your balls. So you won't mind if I troll you for a couple of weeks? Damn you!!!! I knew I shouldn't've complained!!!!!

Typical Brad, screwing things up for the rest of us! It's Hook's revenge!!!!!

Brad, congratulations on your custom Forum title. It is richly deserved - in fact I can't think of anyone who deserves it more. Just one favor, though. Could you please ask the Mods to put a couple of gaps in your rather long title as it seems to be screwing up the formatting a wee bit. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to Chrisco and greggy for a couple of smooth transactions. Enjoy the books!!!!

Either two Oakland copies, or a bad assignation of one copy by CGC. More likely the former. Interesting, too, that the 9.4 copy has far superior cover registration, and so from the scans looks to be a superior copy to the 9.6. I meant Oakland. Probably two copies.

There were two Pac Coast Witching Hour 14s??

I happen to think that's a great cover. Yeah, but your English. His English what? My Little Pony. HIJACKING IN PROGRESS - All thats left to make it official is Graemlins from Gre... Nah, he's right....back to the business at hand - more recently acquired pedigrees.

I happen to think that's a great cover. Yeah, but your English. Seriously though, completely ridiculous cover. How does Galactus turn his head with those "horns" hitting him in the shoulders? The Galactus "skirt" never looked funnier than in that cover. It's artistic license!! It's pop art, dammit!! It's not supposed to be realistic......perspective be damned!

I happen to think that's a great cover.

Kudos back atcha, doc!!

It's uncanny that I knew what you were going to post before you posted it. There are people living in Outer Mongolia who knew greggy was going to post that.
