  1. A good-smart friend of mine got me very intrigued by Police Comics #1 and despite my searching for an affordable copy for years I kept striking out until I didn't. I also noticed over the years that the census on this book never broke 40 copies (currently sits at 39), which indicates its’ relative scarcity. This auctioned-offered 8.5 is per the census the only 8.5 with only 2 single copies graded higher (a 9.4 and a 9.2). Yes the format the current eBay seller chose to sell his great copy (eBay) is IMO not the best choice to maximize exposure and thus bucks. This is an iconic, significant & still somewhat under the radar GA character created by an iconic artist. Here is a link to some wonderful info on Plastic Man (real name Patrick "Eel” O’Brian). I hope this 8.5 copy breaks 20k because it certainly deserves to in this grade. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_Man

Moisture stains, which are slightly visible on back cover kept this in grade IMO.
  4. "Some of you are thinking you won't fight. Others, that you can't fight, they all say that, until they're out there. [He picks up a sword.] Thrust this into another man's chest, and the crowd will applaud and love you for it. In time, you may even begin to love them for that. Ultimately, we're all dead men. Sadly, we cannot choose how, but...we can decide how we meet that end, so that we are remembered...as men.” -- Proximo
  5. Bought a raw silver-age key. FAST shipping, super well packed, book looks nicer then grade given and the follow up communication was stellar. Thank you Kevin! - Roger
  6. I do believe the Master Charles Dickens said it best with my obvious insertion of a repeated 4 words: "It was the best of times (to invest in comics), it was the worst of times (to invest in comics), it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way – in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.” - circa 1859

  16. I have been fortunate to own all the issues 1, 2 and 3 - and just believe issue 3 the hands-on best of this mini-series. The way Namora is depicted on the cover in issue 3 is pure artistry. Issue 1 & 2 while very nice don’t hold a candle to her depiction on issue #3 IMO.
  17. It’s currently NFS. A top 10 favorite book of mine. Thank you 🙏
