  1. I remember someone telling me that they thought that every copy of FF #1 had chipping on it and was convinced that at some point many copies were trimmed. I guess back before the internet that was the perception.
  2. Me too. Just a few chipping, but it has WHITE pages. believe it or not, I prefer cr/ow pages to no chipping! that is just me and my pet peeve While I prefer not to have chipping, I really doesn't bother me as its production related. I feel it adds character to the book. Ditto. It's a part of Marvel, just like the cheap, brittle inks, the oil heavy interior inks and the funky paper they used. Makes me feel like a kid every time I think about how terrible the production was...if that makes sense.
  3. If "most desired" amongst the collecting community isn't the same as "highest priced", then prices are fixing to change soon. Price will always properly sort based on desire, given enough time. Now, it's got to be a broad-based group of collectors to permanently move price. Just because we experts don't like 'Tec 38 doesn't mean it isn't highly desired amongst a broad group of collectors. Win, it's nice to see you posting. (thumbs u
  4. She had me at This workshop will focus on proper technique and drilling of movements.
  5. If that's your nomination for White Queen it's in the wrong thread.
  6. I think she's aimed that piece of work at me. It's all about me today. Isn't it?
  7. who the heck is that, and where was that pic taken
  8. I'm not going to argue with Batman #1's first place slot, thanks in large part to the significance of the characters it introduced, but in terms of enjoyability, a very good underrated book (cover-to-cover) in my mind is the 1939 NY World's Fair. I have heard others speak fondly of it but I've never held one. What makes it special to you? Every story is actually written with the Fair in mind. Clark & Lois are covering the Fair as reporters when Lois gets kidnapped, Slam Bradley breaks up a gang of crooks on the NY fairgrounds, Zatara's at the Fair, hell, even Bob Kane's Ginger Snap has a humorous adventure at the Fair. The book has a really nice flow to it, it seems like a great slice of life from that time period, plus you get the first ever Sandman story by Gardner Fox and poor Bert Christman. It's a great read, and a reasonably significant book. Yeah, it's cold as ice in the marketplace, but I'm a fan. Win, have those stories ever been reprinted? Sounds like a great read and one of the reasons I enjoy the Fantom of the Fair stories so much.
  9. I have a nice leather one. I just prefer to sit upright when checking out the attractive women thread. Two hands free then

  11. This is a great thread. I'm currently sitting at my work desk, which happens to be a handmade table that my girlfriend Lou imported from England. She inherited it from her grandparents and if I remember correctly it was given to them as a wedding gift many years ago. Sitting on a matching handmade chair with a woven seat bottom made of twine.
  12. Lou and Rhona. They happen to have exactly the same background so they were chatting it up like old friends. Lou and Rhona both have East Indian blood which accounts for the darker complexion with UK roots.
