Flee you kick @ss!

Is Cal-Bot losing this war... or just reloading?

My scanner isn't big enough for the whole slab, so I take 3 scans: label, comic (with glare at bottom edge), then flip the slab upside down to catch a better view of the bottom edge. Then I composite them in Photoshop.

Love these Dr. Stranges from this era (from my OO collection)...

Yep, they mislabeled it as 1991.

& don't forget the Greggy Gift Grade™

I tried but couldn't get away with it.

They are on the way back- should get here tomorrow or next day. Congrats on 20K!

I just noticed a mistake on the date for my Action #522... I hope the label doesn't come back as 8/91 like they notated on my online grade!

Dazzler #15 9.4 OW/W Hey, it has Spider-Woman on the cover and looked 9.8 to me!

I submitted 18 books recently and they should be here within a day or 2. 17 of the 18 were my OO copies (all except the TMNT #1 Street Edition).

Beauty! (thumbs u

Great sketches!

Thanks to Cheezy for a great transaction!

Wow, nice Planet #1!

Kudos to Pinball on the offer & quick pay for WDCS #44! Thanks again!

Kudos to Capt_Comics for being a wicked buyer! GIVE IT UP!

and a few more ducks from this hunt...

Here's a photo set to show the Mickey Mouse and Dr. Seuss pages with a few of the Playboy-esque cartoons

Yes, to clarify, it was an estate brought to an auction facility in a rural town.The whole auction was open for online bids through an online auction service (not ebay), about 500 lots, all paper goods. Tons of magazines (1840's- present) in lots, a few mostly pitiful lots of comics, with a few surprises (I bought a stack of Disney comics with FC #275 DD, WDCS #44 & a few in the #100's Barks issues)... I actually spotted Feature Book #2 Popeye in Good & FC #172 in VG hidden in a stack of old coloring books but was outbid at $90... paper/cardboard toys, children's books, sports programs, advertising, etc. Tomorrow is day 2 with mostly more paper goods (no comics).

Thanks! Another neat, though bizarre item I got was a 1931 magazine called College Humor that has a full page Mickey Mouse cartoon feature and a full-page extremely elaborate Dr. Seuss illustration sharing the pages with other cartoons of bawdy humor/semi-nudity.

I braved a winter storm today to travel to a rural auction to get this VF+ white page beauty & had to share (8 pages Barks art!): The store stamp is from my hometown of Newton, IA!

Thanks again, Mike! Jim
