  1. And other goings-on: https://www.instagram.com/sportscardinvestor/p/C5lDCIlsN3b/
  2. I was just kibitzing with him on Facebook as well. Katy just made the announcement there earlier today. He was very ill for the past several months. Rest in Peace my friend.
  3. I have had both versions, and been aware of this for decades. In my mind, it is one press run of 900,000 copies that was released in three traunches, due to insane demand (with ad corrected based on where in the run they were). At the stage of the game when we became aware that all 900,000 were not printed at the exact same time, Superman #1 was already Superman #1, and owning a copy (any copy) was rarified air. There were much more created of the first traunch (nobody cared), less of the second (nobody cared), the least of the third (nobody cared). There are sufficiently few of any surviving. At best they're variants - collect all three! I believe I've read that Superman #2 had two traunches as well, 850,000 then 150,000, though that might have been speculation at that time.
  4. It's a Detective book so they're being mysterious?
  5. I've gotta think Supe 5 is a much more valuable book.
  6. Mail call! As you all know, I'm a superhero guy, so this is slightly out of my wheelhouse. But, something about this little run from Street & Smith has me picking them up whenever I come across them. I probably have 5 or 6 of them now. This one has a nice bright yellow World War II cover. Pioneer Picture Stories #8, September, 1943. Only one copy in the CGC census. Glad I get to bump my thread back to the top!

  8. Always a no no for me. But my collecting days were over before people started collecting single pages.
  9. I meant why didn't I look in the pre robin tec thread for any convo about the start of the PBA auction!
