Bought the first copy of Cosmic Toast (1996) I have seen in about 10yrs collecting Jim Mahfood (very excited!)

I have this spinner that is large enough to hold slabs. Each individual rack spins in turn, giving it a kinda heliocentric spinning action. I also have just the top rack of a more modern spinner (background in image below). My buddy is going to fabricate a top for my main spinner, now that he has a plasma cutter and some digital capabilities in his home welding studio. I may mimic the classic Richie-Spidey-Archie-Supes tin litho top, but make it more underground comix-themed. It will be a fun project.

I am in! Got this at WW St Louis last year... I am a lucky man in that the wife loves this book as much as me.

Porky's for Atari 2600. 8-bit boob, get it.

This is the same one I have. 5 rows, 5 columns. Same Supes. Mine is also missing the base & the bottom rack, which is also 5 x 5 I believe. Mine does have part of the center pole assembly. Great for desktop display at home or a tabletop display at shows!

Today in Cedarburg/Maxwell Street Days I picked Atari 2600 paddles (2 for $5) and the following games for 2600- Raiders of the Lost Arc, Asteroids, & Centipede. Also... I found Kid Icarus for NES; in the wild, my friends said it couldn't be done! My wife has been looking for that one. She picked up a few PS2 games- Devil May Cry, Star Wars Battlefront 2, & a PS1 game- Dark Summit. The we went to the longstanding Burnham Bowl comic show, but mostly were shut out.

Hit a bunch of antique stores on Sunday and mostly got skunked. But I did pick up a Sega Genesis with a mega 6-button arcade controller that works great with my Atari 2600. Level up!

I picked a High Times vol 1 no 1 1.50cvr for $5 and sold it for $25 in the same day two weekends ago. Lately I have been buying old explosives crates, Hercules & Atlas. Crates with some sort of graphics.

nice Funnybook 9.0! tough book to find in decent shape.

holy sheeeeite muslim! my name is on the CGC label. how strange that!?

My consolation prize (NSFW) for not going out to San Diego? I can't wait. I have bought stuff from this seller before.

thanks to paperheart as well for the quick payment and communications. enjoy those Clock Makers... cheers, Justin

There are often several ways. . . Cover price... higher cover price can indicate later printings. Many underground comix or early alternative comics can be identified by cover price alone. Printing stated in the indicia (E.g. "First printing Oct. 1944" or "Second printing" or "Printing No. 54321"=1st, "5432"=2nd, "543"=3rd, etc.). The indicia is usually in the inside front cover or early in the comic where the printing/publishing information is given... sometimes called the "frontispiece." More subtle differences in printing techniques such as differences in cover stock, or cover colors, interior ads, or more recently... cover art.

Bijou Funnies #4 (2nd print) http://www.ugcomix.info/guide/tells/0269tell.html DOUBLE COVER (Crumb) This book circulated on eBay twice... once at about $90 and once at $60. Bought it offline from the seller after the two unsuccessful attempts for $35, which I felt was a pretty good deal, given that it is the first double cover Underground that I have personally seen...
