    Rats. Waited ever-so-patiently. Excited for the next listing.

    Still waiting for one book pictured in the preview...

    Here are my X-Mas comics. Love the massive size of these...hate that CGC doesn’t have a holder that fits. These might have been posted already, but lots of dead images/links in this oldie-but-goodie thread. Not easy to find these suckers in decent shape, by the way. Pricing sticker is on the bag, not the book, for issue #2, for those who grimace at the sight.

    Tough book. Nice looking copy. GLWTS!
  7. BarristerBaker
    Tough book, and that copy looks stellar.

    Had connectivity issues on my way home from work and missed a book I wanted by a nanosecond. Still sad.

    It's not easy. Not as bad as tracking down a decent copy of 99 or 95...and not nearly on the level of 96, but certainly not easy.

    Prices on the Flash 86 have changed a bit over the years, eh @tabcom?

    DC Flash ~$20K in May on Heritage. Long a grail of mine, as a Flash collector.
  12. BarristerBaker
    Yes, very challenging book.
  13. BarristerBaker
    Mine isn’t the highest graded, just the best I’ve seen for sale. There’s a 7.0 and a 9.6 in the census. I believe the Verzyl estate owns that latter one. I forget if it’s a ped copy or not. Tough run to assemble in any reasonable shape, that GL.

    I think they’re awesome. I wish the timing on the Wonder Woman and Supes copies were about 6 mos. from now. I’d have tried for those. So cool.
  15. BarristerBaker
    Yeah, I like the “critter books” too. I had to pick up Streak, Krypto, Bullet Dog, etc. some time ago. Yes, those books are all fairly challenging to find in decent shape. Has been that way for at least the last 5 years. I can’t speak with much certainty before that time period.

    I put together a GL run. 6.0+ and no resto. Wasn’t easy. Strongly disagree with you on #30. That’s a rare mainstream book. There are a couple beaters floating around, but good luck getting a VG+ or better copy. I bought mine in ~2014. It’s a 6.0, and it’s the best I’ve seen since (and the best I had seen at least 3 years before). The census only has four copies at or above grade. I agree with you on #38, though -- not all that challenging, relatively speaking. GL #31-33 and #36-37 are rough. Particularly in grade. I think #2 is fairly tough too, though there are ~30 in the census. On the All-American, I can only speak to #89-102. Those are all tough, if you want a decent copy. #89 is challenging in grade. Very tough, in fact. #102 is probably easiest in that set, but certainly not plentiful. I adore that part of the title. Under appreciated.

    @tabcom put together an awesome thread a couple years back, chronicling and contextualizing every issue. Happy to participate if you pull together another Flash Comics-focused thread. It’s a great title, and I learned a bit through my hunt.

    Golden Age Ghost Rider makes his first appearance in Magazine Enterprise’s Tim Holt 11. Auction ends in just a couple hours on Comic Connect. This is a super-nice copy (CGC 7.5), and someone is likely to get a deal. Best of luck on this dandy. https://www.comicconnect.com/bookDetail.php?id=773790
  19. BarristerBaker
    The 92 isn’t all that challenging (relatively speaking), but it is super-awesome. Four great books there!
  20. BarristerBaker
    I agree. Those are the two toughest. I’ve followed those titles pretty closely for 6+ years. Flash Comics isn’t an easy run, particularly if you’re looking for copies in grade or unrestored. There are about 10 more issues I’d list as “tough” but those two take the cake.
  21. BarristerBaker
    I put some bids down on this one too. Like you, I already have one, but it’s such a cool piece. I’d like another. And another.

    Man, that Hyper Mystery was great! Wish it were mine.

    Set request for Superworld Comics - Hugo Gernsback (1940). There were three issues in the series.
  25. BarristerBaker
    Man, I dig a few of those. GLWTS, my friend.
