Not on FB and not his friend, so...

Hmmm. Looking at it again, the FB page with the email on it is a "Fan/Tribute" page. Looks like he does have his own FB page, but no email...

Thanks. I saw the FB page, but overlooked the email. I might as well try it.

Does anyone have contact info for Jim Starlin or his rep? Let me know. Trying to reach out to him about a piece. Thanks.

Thought I would add this to the mix: Finding a nice copy of this book became a multi-year obsessive convention quest... finally completed in May. Need to find another book to obsess over now!

oh, it is not my book...will be in an upcoming clink auction and there's a 25, wow and wow!! indeed Bah! Common junk ... Very nice BTW...

Congrats :shrug: Nice to see you still hanging around. Any progress on your Lev Gleasons? Nearly 4 years now... Thanks for asking about the Gleasons. I've really been concentrating on the CDNP run over the past couple of years. It is coming together really nicely, though the later issues (in most cases) have proven to be pretty much impossible in my target range of 6.0 and above. The earlier ones are obviously tough as well, but they are out there if you want to pay for them. Issues above #100? Different story... now back to Centaurs.

(the 26 and the 25 both the only certified examples...) now slinking off before getting accused of promoting the auction in the wrong forum

Well that didn't take long! Ha!

I'm curious... Has the artist for the Double Action #1 cover been identified? Is the cover signed? It's hard to see from the small image.

Hey all: A handful of LG Nedors FS Pre-Ebay... Maybe there's something there somebody needs.

Looks like the same book to me (based on the cover wrap and the placement of the top staple in particular), but it doesn't look like it was played with. I don't think that a 9.0 to 9.2 jump is really that unusual or scandalous. Maybe the person who resubbed it thought that the 9.0 was a little harsh?

Careful, we haven't done the exchange yet... I might change my mind.

Hey all- After picking up the Zip #29 I listed in the Forum Selling section, PointFive( ) suggested I might also post a link over here for all the GA posters who seldom visit: Whiz #20, America's Greatest #4, Green Lama #3, and maybe more to come when these sell...

This is a very tough one IMO and originally I was going to go Duck, but after looking at the census numbers, I'm going to All-Star. There are three other 6.5s on the WDC&S #1 as well as a 8.5 and a 9.4 (and a 5.5 and a 5.0 for that matter, which on a good/bad day might look an awful-lot like the 6.5). The All-Star is tied with one other copy at 9.4 for the highest certified, but being a Church, it is going to be "the best copy" in the minds of 99% of the hobby. Note, if the 6.5 WDC&S was the highest certified copy, I would have gone Duck.

For the past two: NYWF vs. Wonderworld #3 NYWF: Why, 1939 Superman... blond, no less! Though, I would rather read the Wonderworld. Resto Batman #1 vs. Resto 'Tec #31 Tec #31: Why, first it's probably a scarcer book than Bat #1 (correct me if I'm wrong here). Second, pre-Robin Bats is the way to go. Third, if this applies, there is more confidence in CGC's resto detection than PGX's. Lastly, the Bats #1 is trimmed...

Kudos to GACollectibles (golden-age-collectibles.com) for a nice deal on copies of Daredevil Comics #45, 46, 48, 50 and a nice upgrade on my CDNP #32! Accurate grading, quick, safe shipping. Great guy to work with. Visit his site if you haven't already

Yeah it sure worked out nicely. Hold that thought, I guess I'm on the "waitlist" now. I guess hitting the BIN is always an adventure. Why did I know that this was going to happen. Seller's renegging on the deal maybe? If you're on a "waitlist" for another CGC 5.5 Human Torch #12, you might be waiting a little while (there's only one in the Census). Who's the seller?

Great score in any grade Surfer! Three more Timely Terry Toons added to my set this week: Having a lot of fun with this run right now.

Right back at you, Jon... Hopefully next time we can involve some trench coats, briefcases, and a parking garage. Nice to not only add a nice book to my collection, but to actually meet the person I'm getting it from... rare these days. Thanks again!

Kudos to ft88 for two strictly graded Boy Comics (75 & 78) to add to my run!

Whoa! That's an impressive "little" shot...

I'm sort of struggling with this question myself right now, though "struggling" is a bit too strong of a word. Currently, I'm leaning towards more of a completeist mentality. I read my collection, so simply from that perspective, more is better. I will occassionally pick up a higher dollar, earlier issue when the right copy comes along, but I figure if my eventual goal is a complete run, acquiring as many issues as possible as they arise makes sense. I am working under the assumption that a few (several? many?) years down the line when I'm left with a few high dollar Gleasons still to acquire, I will have a bit more diposable income than I do right now. Might be wishful thinking, but for the time being it seems like the right answer for me. If I was in it purely from an investment stand-point, I would have a different answer, but I would probably be buying different books as well, so it's kind of irrelevant. I'll say, I do get a good deal of pleasure laying 50 issues of Boy or CDNP side by side and imagining the run without any of the annoying gaps.

In the long run, which are more fun to read: Boy Comics or Crime does not Pay? Good question. CDNP is certainly the more "premium" run and is certainly considered a "more important" book than Boy. Having read a decent segment of both runs, however, I've got to say that for pure reading pleasure, issue to issue, Boy takes the prize for me right now. It's a really inclusive title with stories ranging from traditional superhero tales, to crime, a little teen-humor, morality tales, a bit of everything. CNDP might have originated the Crime genre in comics, but Boy could never be penned up in a single genre at all. It's obvious to me that Biro, Maurer, et al had a lot of fun producing such a flexible book. The continuing characters also make it fun (something that CDNP was generally lacking with a few rare short-lived exceptions). It's also great that they can be had relatively cheaply by comparision to CDNP and Daredevil. I expect it will be the first run I complete of the long-running Lev Gleason titles.
