That's Carl Barks. Nice pics! Why's he holding a bong, and what's in that bag on the chair next to him?

Ahh, that east. My bad.

Did OU back out of their originally scheduled game and get one against UCF or Miami instead? Can't really think of any other teams to the Gators east (unless they are going the SEC scheduling route and playing the Jacksonville Dolphins or something).

I placed my money on the under Poor choice.

steelers Just make sure you put your money on the Over

Recruiting? How are you feeling about the the class the Gators pulled in compared to the other SEC heavyweights and FSU?

you win one time in 7 years ...but I really expect no less from an FSU fan...been a rough decade for you all (thumbs u Very true - it's hard to push a legend out the door, but it should have been done a few years ago. He didn't hire the right assistants, slacked off on recruiting, and let the rest of the state catch and then surpass them. Jimbo has very quickly put a stop to many of those problems and is already a recruiting monster. Your own fansites see this also, though I can see why you don't want to. GatorBait * * = if they hire Mullen, I reserve the right to delete all the above and pretend I never said it.

If UF coaches are going to start quitting every time they lose to FSU, you are gonna have to install a revolving door now that Jimbo is at the helm and Bobby is finally gone.

Dear Gator, Is Urban going to stay retired this time?

Dear Gator, Can you talk to Dan and convince him to come back and be my OC again? Your Pal, Urban

I don't fraternize with FSUians, but I wouldn't be opposed to an innocent text here and there Is this why you don't ask me over more often?

publix This is your first incorrect answer but you are forgiven since you don't quite live far enough south. the correct answer is Farm Stores, so do yourself a favor and visit one next time you are close.

With the holidays coming up, what store sells the best Egg Nog?

Are you a little more worried about the FSU game now?

Will you outbid me on the Supe #14 cover? (and will it matter if Fish outbids everyone?)

Man, this thread is really looking awesome the past couple of days.

Wow - can't believe those prices. Guess I just wholesaled one last month then. Schomburg Cap Print

The Arrow.

I'm going to be a contrarian. I think a 1940 #1 in 9.2 is also a thing of beauty and it features the first masked hero in comics. Pass the pipe, I'm smokin' some Crack.

Ok, this isn't that vintage, but it is cool to see Carradine and Hershey reading a Subby and ? Do you think Scorsese picked out the comics for them?

Do you always quote yourself when you ask questions? I think the argument could be made that at the time of discovery, MPFW was THE most expensive comic (the incomplete copy sold for $2000 in 1974, far more than Action #1 or Marvel #1 guided for in good). I believe it immediately ranked so high because 1) Bob bought the very first copy sold 2) It was the first Sub-Mariner (and some suspected, by extension, kind of the first Timely), 3) There were no comparables to shop, if you wanted a MPFW you had the beg the guy who had all the known copies (and he apparently misled people as to how many copies there were), you couldn't find one from another dealer and try to get a better deal. What made it fall? Out of sight, out of mind for one reason. When it's so rare that it hardly ever changes hands it's hard to keep increasing in value. Plus the fact that we might never know the full story behind the book and if it was really distributed or not (as we've seen with NY World's Fair, being printed first doesn't guarantee that it's more desirable than the next best alternative). And while there's no question it is the first Sub-mariner, it's still not Marvel #1. Certainly doesn't mean that it's not a darn good book - it is. Just that after years of reflection the market has decided it ultimately isn't as valuable as Action #1 or Marvel #1.

I believe Gene is still collecting movie posters. Pretty neat to see his Action #1 sitting there in a stack, but I wonder if he really said he thought there were only three copies of Whiz #1 left or if that was a misquote?

Do I have to pick one? Can I pay $20 not to buy either?

See how easy that was?

No, it was definitely a cover pulled from a copy of the comic, and was in about VG shape. Not an uncut cover or a proof.
