aokartman replied to Define999's topic in Comics General
Having fun today honing my grading skills on two runs of Super Spider-Man #230-310, side-by-side. Best, David -
I am working up a description for this nice Mickey Mouse daily from 1963 by Floyd Gottfredson that has been buried in my attic for twenty years. Best, David from Bill Blackbeard in The Comic-Book Book (1973): "Easily ranking with the half-dozen finest new comic-strip artists to emerge from the 1930s" and "..until Max Willis, a Hollywood writer and book dealer, penetrating the veil of secrecy at last some six years ago, sought out and identified the extraordinary Floyd Gottfredson." Frame opening pics added. Attached lightly with two pieces of framer's adhesive cloth hinge on reverse of mat. LINK TO GOTTFREDSON AT MY CAF

Ted Williams came close, earning $90,000 in 1950 and 1951, but his salary declined thereafter. (from the internet) Which puts this right around 1950. I don't have any other insight on this piece, but I think that is my writing "Swann's" on the reverse which was a personal note while I was trying to figure it out before reselling it on ebay, IIRC. A few years ago. Don't remember where I got it, sadly, probably ebay wrong category pick-up. If anyone has access to ebay archives, I would have likely listed it as an unknown artist tryout strip under original comic strip art category, an authentic period piece. likely unpublished. Best wishes, David

A piece of comics history GLORY #6 with the original four-part printing guide to page 7. Send me a direct message to discuss. Asking $49.95 to start. Best wishes, David ....dialog follows: "You can probably guess how it started. The circus troupe I work with wrapped up its tour this week and I got back into town on Tuesday. Of course, the first thing I did was go out clubbing... ...And, wonder of wonders, I met a girl. Her name was Leila and she belonged to a sorority here on campus. After the customary wine and dancing, she invited me to a party at the sorority house. Me being me, how was I to say no? We made the most of our evening together, and then I dozed off in this lovely creature's arms... ...Only to find, when I awoke, the she had become exactly that: a creature. She and all her friends were dead... ...Without a hint of how or why!"

USPS appears to have lost my Registered package
aokartman replied to Venomous72's topic in Comics General
Hi, Sorry to hear about your lost book. I worked at the USPS for nearly 25 years. Registered Mail does, indeed, have a paper trail of signatures and is technically secure at all times during the handling of your package. This means that when something goes missing, they can narrow down the possibilities more quickly. If your customer concerns linger on, I'd encourage you to contact the Postal Inspection Service directly. It is their job to get to the bottom of this type of occurrence. At the distribution center where I worked, there was a case of theft by the actual Registered Mail clerk, who was fired. But, they caught him, and I guess there is a good chance the losses were made as whole as practical. It sounds like your book may be lost, but you will likely be compensated with all the saved documentation. And maybe another criminal will be offered rehabilitation due to your efforts. Good luck, David -
A couple bidders duked it out past $8000 for a good cause and a classic period cover. David

Here's an unpublished DINO cover which is pretty cool from the attic. This title ran 20 issues, some signed Frank Roberge, so I call this #21. Has Comics Code stamp for July 15, 1976 on the reverse. Original paste-ups. David
