The most sound advice is to try to sell them in batches, IMO. As said, the fees are too high to make any decent profits out of cheap books, and this goes also for other eBay sites (not just the USA original one). On eBay.it I also avoid to sell items costing less than 10 Euro.

Understandable – this interface is not intuitive at all.

You don’t happen to have a Mystery Men Comics #8, Sha?

Just to make sure you see this…

Hi cmcfan, I just wished to send you a hug for the death of your grandmother and I will pray for your family. And… so many awesome books. I would really love to find a very low grade Captain America #46 later on…

I love the few I bought from you, and very good grading as usual.

Loving these!

It’s mostly for the importance of the topic, related to my research. I would really love to find one! I have relevant similar material from France, and even a collected series of cartoons from the journal of the SS. Any holocaust-related cover is very relevant, as there was little awareness about concentration camps et al. before the end of 1943, also in Germany.

Ooh, I would SO love to have a Captain America #46… even one without the back cover would do!

Biro placed the entire run of his "Corporal Collins" character in real time based on the war news he probably got from Europe: stories are easy (and sometimes so-so) but it’s fascinating regardless. In "Topix" there is a life of St. Benedict which starts with the bombing of Mount Cassino and that was shortly afterwards the fact. I also have a comics journal from right after the war that has scenes imagining the gas chambers. I asked because I am very interested in these representations, would love to hear more from those who know about that cover: it seemed an american landscape to me as well…

Nice use of the new tags function, @Chadwick!

@rcouto What this cover would represent, exactly: a camp in Japan? I’m very interested in this theme depicted in comics for an ongoing research that I have, especially where historical events outside the specific war fights are taking place.

@HarveySwick you can see whether the PMs have been read (either by you or the other part) by going to your Inbox (envelope icon/Go to inbox) and then using the "Filter by" popup menu. You have the following options:

I agree as well. It probably depends on the chosen visual layout, but maybe they could do something about it?

Dang! I keep missing affordable copies of Captain Marvel Adventures #21…

It’s not so difficult, if you want I will tell you the secret via PM… :: As per the links not working: you just have to go to My Stuff > My Preferences and then change the setting "Total topics to to show per page" to 25, which is the default setting (you may have inadvertently changed that).

These Flash Gordon pins would appeal a lot to a friend of mine which is an expert on syndicated strips of the 1930s… This is an old blog he used to keep a few years ago: http://annitrenta.blogspot.it/ He is a comics critic and fiction writer and together with other two acquaintances of mine he wrote a book on the history of italian comics publishing during the two decades of fascist government.

Robot Man, this material is simply wonderful – keep showing it!

Did you really just call out Gary? That is awesome. I think Gary's name alone complies with board rules. Jim "Call out"? He just pointed out what was missing…

Loving this thread…

Since I showed them in Robot Man sales thread, I might as well show them here: two super-rare italian editions from 1945 that went "for a song" and that I should have really bid on (if not, to give them to Centaur collectors which might have been interested? ) I have never had them in hand, but I seem to get the first merges two issues of "Amazing Mystery Funnies" (the Fantom of the Fair stories) and the second is the italian edition of Speed #1. They were "one shots", came out as supplements of a journal publishing various comics. Very likely unauthorized and with "traced" artwork, still they are very cool and document the very limited printing of the GA material in Italy at the time.

I was thinking that this week as I was reading my mid forties WDCS recent buys. Still it is part of the vintage charm! That early issue shown by westerberg, however, looks printed pretty well. When Fantagraphic started the full chronologic reprint of the Mickey Mouse strips, for some sources they went to the early italian editions (the b&w ones, that is, but color was also printed very well). Printing quality of american GA books is a bit variable in quality (maybe according to the periods as well?): in my small collecting I seem to get the Lev Gleason titles were well printed… the WDC&S so so, but of course the newsprint paper, albeit poor, had great rendition in terms of colors. Also because colorists were very good!

Welcome to the FF big fan thread! And wonderful book… I love #53!

threadkillerbrian? Given the pedigree's name, he deserves the title of "Herod the Great"?
