Kudos to VT comics on a quick payment for the Hot Rods and Race Cars off ebay...thanks for bidding.

It is lower grade for sure.....pages are awsome though....cover is detached PM me an offer as this is a grading thread....................................................I wasn't intending on selling any of these.....maybe trading.....but that didn't work out. Oops...didn't even post this one in the grading thread...my mistake....call it a F/VF

Female Blacksmith GGA cover with bondate and headlights whatta bunch of perv's that collect GGA comics...

purity of lineage has it's perks.

Some of them were. It's disheartening to see books that I was tracking on Heritage show up on Metro's site for 50% more then they sold for on Heritage. Books that were just a little out of my reach are now way out of my reach bottom line....if you want a MH book....you're going to have to pay throught the nose for it if metropolis gets a hold of it.... I say this without looking at their prices??? Now I'll go look to see if I have to retract that sumo

Are we going to Dallas....oh good good good good..... Are we going to Dallas ....oh good good good good..... Are we going to Dallas....oh good good good good..... Are we going to Dallas ....oh good good good good..... Those are great books....that any GGA collector would be proud to own. Thanks for sharing

What do you suppose is the most recently printed comic that has a blacksmith on the cover? Might this be it? Not sure, but I am sure there are a ton of blacksmith cover collectors out there

the lulu is a lulu.....love the autumn leaves..... here are a few I've recently pulled out.

Comparing the MH 9.0 to others you may own.....what do you see as the major differences? The mystique of MH is ever present and the colors look incredible.

Diamond Run copy is better. I have two diamond run Ghost Rider's now...8 and 9 Golden Age.....no certs. though. what do the certs look like and what's the history on the collection...anyone that knows....pm me....thanks

This one? EsquireComics.com Acquires Rare Action Funnies Industry News, Scoop, Friday, December 09, 2005 Scoop has learned that attorney Mark S. Zaid, owner of EsquireComics.com, has acquired a copy of the historical ashcan comic, Action Funnies. The copy was purchased from a private collector and is one of only three known copies of the Action Funnies ashcan that have ever been available to the public. The other two known copies are both owned by Gary Colabuono, a long-time ashcan collector and expert. "I was ecstatic to obtain the copy of this book which is not only historically significant to the creation of comic books but also holds important legal meaning which to me, as an attorney, is a double prize," said Mark. Ashcans were prototype books produced by publishers to secure the trademark for a particular title and never to be offered for sale. At most a few copies would be produced and, they were not intended to survive the passage of time. The ashcan for Action Funnies, which was the original name for what ultimately became National Periodical's flagship Action Comics, features black and white artwork for what eventually was used as the cover for Action Comics #3. The interior contains ten pages of stories from Detective Comics #10. The public existence and history of this book was first brought to light in 1985 by Comic Buyer's Guide. This particular ashcan copy has a unique history. The cover is marked lightly in pencil with the notation "Detective Comics, Inc" and "872-A", and is stamped "Property of Stephen Browne" and dated "Feb 15 1957" in small blue letters on page one. Mr. Browne, then a college student, was given the book in the 1950s by officials at D.C. in gratitude for a thesis he authored in response to Dr. Fredric Wertham's 1954 book Seduction of the Innocent. The book will be added to Mark's private collection that includes several ashcans including the only known copy of the 1940 ashcan comic Crack Comics #1.

I did put a few dollars into it as it has slight P , tape removed, reinforced tear, cleaned and pressed by Matt Nelson as part of the pressing experiment. I figure that I probably have $100 into it right now....so I'm not going to make a killing on it these days if I sell....although it presents very nicely and doesn't have the major warbling and heavy water stains that it once had. 200% profit off my original $25 purchase won't cut it these days.

Bet you guys didn't get your copy for $25 like I did..... TRADE? not for trade

TRADE?

I'd like that one too.

OK, I'll bite. What are your top 5?... Going to need to do a little thinking on that one.....as I don't want to just spout off some books..... It's been 24 hours... THINK HARDER .. Still Thinking

We'll see

OK, I'll bite. What are your top 5?... Going to need to do a little thinking on that one.....as I don't want to just spout off some books..... I'll post when I get it figured out Problem is I like a lot of different books and it'll be tough to narrow to 5 grails (most wanted).

I want some grails....

7 too many Have any extras you want to sell I've got one I'd sell...

I sent an email to someone back in July about this book and they recently contacted me saying it was now on the block. Now that you mention it I do remember October selling on of these, same copy perhaps? Doesn't really matter....it's a sweet book and worth every penny you paid....in comic dollars.

I thought October sold it on consignment.

dang...nice one.. ..has this been getting around the boards. I love that cover too.

already got one....and it bores me.

I believe the #7 ended up with a local store in Vegas and has since been sold. It was a beautiful 9.2 White with perfect QP from what I could tell. Steve was asking $750 on his website, and the dealer purportedly sold it for around $900. It's multiples of guide.....but I wouldn't have minded having it at the $750 level. The Number 9 was priced at $450 on the website and actually is still shown. If someone has a decent copy of #7 I'd be very interested. Thanks
