I’ve been subscribed to Alex’ channel for a few years now, I thought it was cool how he bought an animation cel from a homeless guy who found it in the trash and after he resold it for a surprising amount, tracked down the homeless guy (wasn’t easy) to share the profits. The money he gave got the guy off the streets and he eventually was able to become self employed- I think as a handyman. Shortly after that was the potter’s house (original series titled hoarder house) which became an interesting series of videos. The latest Kastner auction will have some of the last of the potter’s pieces.

p.s. I can't imagine how long it took the cowpoke who put that collection together to find stuff like the Charlton Lash Larue's and the like: not high-demand books necessarily, but tougher to find than ASM 1-10 if we're being honest. 

I bought Lash 71-80 and all the Charlton Rocky Lanes.

There’s better venues to sell comics that specialize in them. Hakes would be a great place to sell your rare toys or political memorabilia. They routinely set records in those fields.

Just got one in the mail today. Actually all 10 of them have the same sticker but this is the only noteworthy one...

Just 7 issues later, but 3 years apart...

Yeah, not exactly the best examples for young girls...

 

Pretty cool, very doubtful that it’s a sketch though, most likely printed.

Canada, huh? Was it one of these?

Was FU’s eBay ID ever revealed for blocking?

No Frankenstrat?

My source was a Kramer ad from a rock mag of the day. The college assignment was to make (I think 6) illustrations from magazine photos using different techniques. This one was colored pencil only. Others from that assignment were markers only, pencil only and mixed media.

Alright I'm embarrassed to say that you all are correct, it's a mark on my scanner. I'm my defense I cannot remove it. I've tried cleaning solution and just my fingernail and it won't budge, in fact I can't even feel it. I say this because I've wipe/dust it regularly while scanning and still the mark remained which is what led me to believe it was a printing mark. So all and all I'm pretty embarrassed. 

NEWBS!

Not Stan Lee. Those are Gerry Conway.

Wow, they sure are! Thank you so much!

Edit to include: funny thing is, Gerry Conway had nothing to do with these issues other than he probably read them as a youngster. 

Agree on all counts, and I remember the epidemic a few years back of all the fakes. I just don’t remember what those fakes looked like and am not familiar with all the variations of his later sloppy sigs. These just look so bad that it begs the question “if you’re going to fake his sig, wouldn’t you at least try?” 
 

Instead of starting a new post, this one looks like a good one to possibly get some opinions on... I recently bought a couple books from a seller who was lazily grading a bunch of books G/VG. One was upper mid-grade that I was very interested in so looked at his other offerings to make shipping worthwhile. These 2 Subbys caught my eye since they also looked better than the assigned G/VG grades and there was the low key un-hyped suggestion they could be signed by Stan. I did a bit of research but couldn’t find examples of later sloppy sigs and these don’t have a prominent “L”... could they be legit or obvious fakes? 

Not a recent one, but it became relevant again recently. From a college illustration class, probably 1984/85.

Voted to support a criminal on the basis of religion. Hmmmmm

Is it true that men are a lot more of collectors than women?  If so this might give additional clue.  

Moms threw out their kids collections... a very very common story. Mine hauled my extensive model kit collection to the curb one day while I was at school.
