  1. What are/were you trying to figure out?
  2. What Rick said. Standard big-late-30s Golden Age size.
  3. 13.5 x 10 is a Famous First Edition with the outer cardboard cover removed.
  4. My most prized collectible would be one of my golden age comics. I love some of my other, non-comic, items, but nothing rivals my top books. Some things are irreplaceable. I have some souvenirs given to me by Neil Peart, for example, and I have many Rush-related things that are more important to me now that they're done.
  5. I always considerd WF '39 the first appearance of Sandman.
  6. Welcome, bienvenido, bienvenue, wilkommen to the club!
  7. I love All Star #1! But dude, it can stay in the sun until the cows come home and it's never going to reach the same stratosphere as All American #16.
  8. I was talking about the AA 16. Funny it was out the same time as that 'Tec. I can understand when a lesser book has a full page ad for a huge book. But notating a huge book has a full page ad for a much lesser book is just weird to me.
  9. I'm bidding extra because it has a "full page ad for All Star Comics #1"!!!
  10. K. Was 14,605 low, high, about right, shocking, not surprising at all?
  11. Anything noteworthy to discuss about this recent auction on ebay? 49 bids, $14,605, coverless, complete. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Marvel-Comics-1-1939-Original-Human-Torch-Sub-Mariner-Namor-Mask-Raider-/192953358279?_trksid=p2047675.m43663.l10137&nordt=true&rt=nc&orig_cvip=true
  12. Has to be a mistake, right? That one isn't even a 2.0? 1.0, 1.5 maybe?
  13. I pointed out on Facebook the other day that the (visible) splash page references Spidey's previous first appearance in AF 15, so claiming this is his first appearance and pre-dates that somehow...
  14. An almost 14 year thread bump for one of my recent acquisitions! (thanks for the find @MustEatBrains). 4 universal 1 restored on the census. WWII goodness.
  15. Thanks. I bumped an old Exciting and Thrilling thread, but not that old!
  16. Picked up a new book. Thrilling #24. Four universal, one restored, five total on the census. Obscure? Rare? Both? Neither?
