  1. Magical things happen! The showing of some top examples of books and the sharing of some of the history behind them was such a treat. Just one phenomenal book after another! Seeing first hand the page quality on certain copies takes the appreciation to the next level.
  2. At least! And that is just what Adamstrange decided to share with us. It was nice to finally meet the legendary Vaultkeeper too! All the books and OA to look at was such a treat. Still processing all I got to see!
  3. It was a great visit! There just wasn’t enough time to go through all the jaw dropping items. The pizza was good too!
  4. This. When I first got serious collecting PCH in the early 2000’s, I would turn my nose at anything below a 7.0. Of course there was more to choose from at way better prices. As time went on and prices rose, my standards started to ease up. 6.5 - 5.0 started to not look so bad if you really wanted a copy. I think the lowest grade I’ve gone to is 4.5 graded. But now even at these grades the prices are crazy high. It’s hard to believe some of the prices for slabbed beaters at around the 1.8 - 2.0 range go for. These books used to sell in groups of 5 - 10 for $50-$75. If anyone thinks prices are cooling, I believe they have been heating up!
  5. Found it! Here’s a better scan and a signed cert by Lon. Totally forgot about this one!
  6. I’m going to dig it out tonight to look. I think I just may have forgotten about it!
  7. Calling all Experts. I couldnt find a scan of my copy of Mysterious Traveler so I searched my computer and found the pic and an email that stated it was a Crippen book. Can anyone verify this?

  8. Designed one of the most iconic costumes in comic history. RIP
  9. Don’t mind me, I just always wanted to use that emoji and I thought that was the perfect opportunity!
  10. Going to see the ASHCANS and NEWSSTAND EDITION next week!
  11. It’s nice that I understand these designations now, congrats!
  12. The ‘ole “hiding behind the water barrel” trick. Gets ‘em every time!
