go with a small auctioneer in Berkeley that most people have never heard of

PBA is sending lots of GA DC to CGC now, as the consignor was not a slabber. A great GA collection even if keys are conserved or restored.

I recommend sending this in to Cgc marked 'ATTN: Matt Nelson' for pro verification if any funny business on covers plus the 4% of market value/Overstreet fee, of course.

 not on Facebook, can you quote the article/post or give further details about what it says?

Extensive GA DC collection plus b/w ashcans. Acceptable:

This has to be insanely rare!  I wonder how many are known to exist?

With having to pay that kind of money to have a book graded, it's no wonder most collectors don't slab their books until it comes time to sell them. 

This Detective 27 announced on FB to come out for online auction in Nov, 2023:

 I'd rather have the DC Flash ashcan or the Fawcett Flash/Thrill ashcan than "Defend."  

Rare DC Flash ashcan (not mine but wish it were).

... as rare as Action 1 is, these might even be more rare.  I'm going to keep my eye out out for them though.

So Action comics has 64 interior pages.  I've been able to find 26 of the pages in Gazetinha.  P

These came out 6 months after Action 1 hit the stands here in the US.

This basically is a "poor mans" Action Comics #1. 

I gotta find the Superman pages now.

Action Comics 1 cover preview before Brazilian Gazetinha #445 December 1938 which is about when USA Action Comics #7 released. Thanks Brazil Comic King!

nice looker!

Interesting eBay auction running for Hulk 181 slabbed covers for those that have a coverless copy; no reserve and not mine here (no logo).

 Coloring in a crease line and flattening comics with encyclopedias was something to do.  

Plus using Lepage school white glue to affix those loose covers onto their square spines. There have also been misdiagnosed color touch on GA DC covers, as the red and blue inks were thick on those covers and may slightly wash off during a cover conservation treatment.

After he offered me the Hulk 1 privately for 1,000 !

The jealousy on these boards...

Wonder if this is the same scammer from early May 2023 on these Boards as 'JoeBrrr'? PayPal name attached was Joseph Andrew Kim with no address listed on PayPal profile. Fed Ex commercial invoice address from a 'Joseph Cunningham' of Newton Center, MA, USA. He sent me a $1 Wolvie comic via int'l Fed Ex box instead of a slabbed Hulk 181 Cgc blue label "with MVS."

Any More Fun even coverless GA DC coming up.

January 1975 Canadian The Journal fanzine with Action 1 proffered at $3k loonies when 1975 Overstreet listed fine $2,500 US funds. Being sold by a book, comic dealer near Toronto, ON.

Warlock can be tweaked in a future Guardians movie.  I don't think all is lost.  But....

Hope MCU can tweak in Quasar, Darkhawk and Peter Quill vs. Warlock in 'Star Lord' volume 1 future movie. We have spec to sell.

GotG vol. 3 used mostly 1980's music. Was surprised Gunn used a The The song from 1983, as that singer is a bit obscure but great.

@Bosco685 what i really want to talk about is that Marvels trailer - oh my what a mess that is going to be

So did Darkhawk appear anywhere in volume 3 movie or was that hidden in a spoiler review? Folks were buying Darkhawk 1's last week on the spec.

Avoid SDCC, as u don't want to 'waste' 4.5 hours in line to get into a seminar u don't want to view just in order to move up closer to the stage for the next media /movie hype presentation in the same hall that u really wish to attend.

Just fly up to Calgary Expo where u usually can casually walk up to view any media guest stage presentation without a 1 hour line up.

If u prefer to buy vintage comics, drive down to Portland, OR smaller cons, Collector's Summitt (Bellevue), or ECCC, Seattle, WA, if u wish to line up for artist signatures or buy artwork. Fly to Torpedo  con near Hollywood, CA or Cal-comic con near Anaheim, CA, if u prefer to stay in the same Pacific time zone.

Add extra funds pre-loaded into your US $ PayPal account, as u will run out of cash.
