  1. Only 4 for this JOE SIMON Harvey classic although I will be sending one in so bump it to 5 sooner than later!!
  2. I believe this is EVERYONE’S favorite Pelican it’s just that no one else has one haha!! Great book!!
  3. I am only making ONE exception so please don’t be upset but I literally can’t choose between these two and it’s my favorite GA publisher as far as covers are concerned...you could toss in US Jones 2 and V-Comics 2 as well but I won’t post pics in order to follow rules closer as I am digging this thread idea!!
  4. Normally when I upgrade a book the undercopy goes to market. Copy on the right is a Raymond Miller so wanted an unrestored copy and got it. Book will be CGCd. Both are stayin’ with me this time I just love this book. 2 #22s!!🤟😊
  5. Low Grade but a Tough MLJ with a Sweet cover imo. It shares some similarities with my all time favorite covers Aces very own Our Flag 5....
  6. Agreed with Rick main flaw was detached centerfold. Great looking copy heck I thought Rick may have added it to his pile of neat stuff honestly!!:)
  7. Great survey!! I am 35 been on these boards for several years. Just joined IG and have loved the experience. I don’t really have any issues buying or selling personally probably because I mainly only deal with the super rare stuff that I consider myself to be cool and classic not necessarily what anyone else considers classic although there are a handful of us and you know who you are that all find the same little niche to be super cool so we all battle each other for the rare showings of these books but that’s part of the fun. I also do collect keys somewhat but only if I think they are cool books. For example I have a quite a few Silver Age books that are considered keys (just as an example I will use my Tales to Astonish 35) but I also have many of the other issues and just bought a 45 the other day at a store. Not bc it is a key but because I thought it was cool. When you buy just what you like you can never go wrong when it comes to our hobby. It’s also another reason I like the Golden Age not as many books changing hands repeatedly and getting CPRd over and over. The manipulation is still there I am sure of that but not nearly as much where the flipper flips to another flipper and and everyone is adding another 10% etc and everyone is quoting GPA highs on their unslabbed raw books that could benefit from a press haha!! btw Shortboxed knows what the cool books really are 😉
  8. Any one of you Fox Fantatics pick up the Flame 6 the other night on ebay? Went for deservedly almost 1K!! Great looking copy for sure
  9. Thanks for thinking it could have been me you sure know what books I like RM!!! I WAS able to land another TOP-NOTCH MLJ the previous night though and while low grade it’s one I’ve been trying to get my hands on for awhile and at a reasonable price. Will post when she arrives!!
