So many covers to love...I know I've put up too many, but believe me, I had to stop myself from putting more (good thing the OP didn't put a limit on it). Looking at this group I guess I have a thing for yellow, orange and red.

It could be trimmed on all fours sides...if... you open the cover to the centerfold and lay it centerfold down. Then it could be trimmed at the top, the bottom, left and the right side.

What was your LAST GA purchase in this lousy year?
davidtere replied to Robot Man's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
This will probably be the last one...but you never know, there's still a couple of weeks left of the year to go. Kind of an unexpected purchase from a storage locker picker. It was there with a stack of drek. A beater but I hadn't ever seen a copy in person before (and it was fairly cheap...so yay!) -
A Little Love for Master Doodler Roy Krenkel

I have a lot of love for master artist Roy Krenkel. I love his Ace Burroughs books and have been a fan ever since. -
Should smell effect a grade?
davidtere replied to shadroch's topic in Comic Book Grading and Restoration Issues
I bought a collection that had heavy mothball smell and I placed each comic between pages of regular newspaper. The newspaper absorbed the smell. I switched the newspaper out every couple of days. It took about a week but the newspaper did the trick. I did the same thing with a collection of OA that I had purchased. I guessed that the artist was a heavy smoker as all of the pages smelled like cigarette smoke. I had success with this, although it took a couple of weeks to work -

LB Cole Cover. Only the art remains original...the logo etc, I recreated (sort of) and just put them on the art (unattached) so I could see what it looked like before the logos etc. were stripped off. Doesn't hurt that it features great Baseball players as well...since I am a Dodgers fans (although my roots don't go back all the way to the Brooklyn era)

Those are outstanding, and I admit that I have never seen any of those before. Thanks for posting them.

Do You Still Have the First Comic Book OA Piece You Ever Got?
davidtere replied to BuraddoRun's topic in Original Comic Art
I wasn't collecting OA back in the mid / late 80's but a dealer had this on their table asking 35 bucks. I loved Everett's run on Subby (both the GA issues and also Bronze Age Marvel issues 50 - 61 which I purchased off the stands) so I had to shell out that $$ when I saw it. -
Happy Birthday to Jack 'King' Kirby - The man who Jim Steranko dedicated his 'History of Comics by saying: Dedicated to Jack Kirby without whom there may not have been any comics to write a history about (below is my contribution of a 100% Kirby)

There are lots of 'one page stories' in humor titles like Archie and Harvey comics if you like that kind of thing (I do). Since I collect a lot of those titles, I mostly just pick up one pagers or complete stories, as opposed to a random page (unless that page is special because who the artist is and what they were depicting) Here is a recent 'one page story' pick up that has one of my favorite Harvey characters. Didn't hurt that it's by Warren Kremer.

Club Kirby (Inquire Within For Membership)
davidtere replied to Jasonmorris1000000's topic in Comics General
While I don't have a copy of the first Kirby comic that I ever got (which was Marvel Tales # 1) I do have the first Kirby sketch that I ever acquired. Does this qualify me for membership? -

Are superhero Funko Pops the Beanie Babies of our generation?
davidtere replied to kav's topic in Comics General
I have a few of them...but then again I don't consider them any different than any other toy action figure that feature a certain character (I admit to having my fair share of toy figures mostly super hero). Most of mine are the figure with the vehicle (Batman sitting in Batmobile, Wonder Woman in her Invisible Jet, Ghost Rider on Motorcycle). I guess I like the vehicle more than I like the figure. I didn't buy them because they were a 'pop' or because of their (perceived) value. All of them I bought at a local swap meet, so I paid less than retail from 'pop' collectors that were getting rid of their collection, except for the invisible jet that my daughter gifted me for Christmas a few years ago. As far as being collectible...pffft!
