  1. Ok, now you're really playing the cuteness card! And that's about the nicest 2.0 you are ever going to see. Thanks Paisano
  2. As little G assesses the assigned grade of our latest ACE he states, "Boy they hit this beauty hard for staining!! I'll take it Pops!!" At least thats what I imagined he was trying to say!!
  3. Very cool book Jamie! Never seen a double cover Timely before. I thought I posted my praise on this book...if not I suppose doing it TWICE would be perfectly suitable!!
  4. I have a 7.0 of that one. Yeah, I "settled" for that when it became obvious the ship for 34 had sailed. Funny thing though, the no. 16 is actually the hypodermic needle cover. No. 34 the baddie is actually spraying gas, no needle involved. The baddie on 16 is actually drawing blood, so the Shield is too late on this one. On no. 34 he's just in time to save the day ( I think). Goes to show, it's not not the message it's the messenger. The baddie on no. 34 is just waaay more scarier. So hence a more notorious "syringe" cover. I actually like this cover as well and think the Vulture (If memory serves) is a super neat baddie in his own right!! Almost a villainous Dark Knight in appearance. So many great Pep covers. I think (and I could be wrong) one of the reasons the 34 is pricier is not just the cover as it doesn't out swing this one by much at all but the interiors. The splash on the Hangman is All Time and let's not forget Americas favorite teenager and the mirth of a nation also has a story so it kind of crosses paths of both collectors. Wartime and Archietime. Either way I want em both!!!! Well said Gino best to have em both! And yes, the villain on Pep 16 is the Vulture, who had three other kick a** covers in the run he graced. Tied with the Rattler, and both of them bested by The Skull, who I think takes the crown as MLJ top baddie cover boy. good stuff C!! agreed
  5. Wow!!! When you're ready RM!!! When you're ready!! Whoa, whoa Gino. Classic cover, scarce book AND some spine pieces missing? That's my turf! I've been focused exclusively on Zips these days, but damn... you guys are swaying me back. Great stuff here. Honestly I figured all the COOL kids already had one which would mean you weren't in the market I think we are fishing from the same pond brother

  7. Im relatively spooked by the black widow that seems to be crawling on that individuals FF5
  8. Wow some awesome Peps being posted here!!! I am totally regretting not bidding higher on a low grade 20 that was auctioned not to long ago. It went for much more than $35 though Awesome book guys!!!
  9. Super Neat books Rick the FP 41 trio goes without saying and that new holder looks pretty spiffy. I actually enjoy those covers on the Comic Pages never seen em before
  10. My oh my what a wonderful haul!!! Was tracking both those tough classics Nice work J
  11. What was final hammer price? Baker chalked up that one with all sorts of suspense!! Congrats
  12. Great colors! Wonderful example of an extremely difficult book. Awesome!!!
  13. Neat article here don't knowing it's been posted before in this thread... http://scoop.previewsworld.com/Home/4/1/73/1016?articleID=80729
  14. What does the US Jones "Membership Badge" look like? Is it that circular piece of artwork in my photo above? Yes, but instead of a full figure pose of him, it was a head shot only. Robot is THE MAN!!! did someone say US Jones!!! I want a Membership badge!!
  15. Love this book...the colors really pop and bring the focal image alive. Great copy. Whenever I see this book I can't help but think of the pit walls in the cult classic Army of Darkness. "he wants spikes!!?!! Give him spikes!!!"
  16. Outstanding pick up. I am super stoked for you. Thanks Jeff!! Just trying to slowly keep up with you guys!! dig the Startling and Prize pickups brother!!
  17. Great Haul Micheal Whoa!!! and thanks for helping me add this one to the collection!! A couple interior shots you don't get to see often as well...These Timely's really did have some fantastic interior artwork and splashes...Enjoy...
  18. I like it, however, reminds me of an attorneys office, is it... From a different angle: That is absolutely beautiful!!
  19. Michael is a fantastic boardie who I couldn't be more pleased with in our transaction!!! Communication was spectacular. Oh almost forgot I picked up a high dollar Marvel Mystery 46 at a very fair price and the shipping and packaging were second to none. He is super duper generous and helped me acquire another book I was looking for as well Michael is knowledgeable and loves comics and this hobby is certainly a better one with people like him in it. Thanks again bro I will be back to buy more stuff as soon as possible!!! See you out there buddy, Gino
  20. NICE!!!! don't forget for the future the more you post the happier the rest of us are!! Another gem!!!
