  1. Is this a classic case of "methinks thou doth protest too much?"
  2. I don't hunt for a lot of books on the Bay, but when I do, pretty much everything I buy is under $20. Here are a few examples of some of the oddball stuff I tend to gravitate towards:
  3. Those bundles were sick!! Will you be posting any more books on this thread?
  4. For sure, and those cubes are made of re-purposed fruit crates, which were abundant in the 40's. It's really a remarkable photo and in many ways.
  5. I thought of that very same photo when you were teasing the topic...
  6. Did you ever get to meet him? He sounds like the sort a shiny, young robot would run into when he wasn't surfing or chasing girls...
  7. Does anyone have a larger version of the photo shown in the Evanier blog from the above link? The link in the blog itself appears invalid. That is a stupefying photo - not just the comics, but also the big little books!!
  8. So his cat is just walking around on the comics??
  9. I take census numbers with a grain of salt - the demand/price/volatility dynamic helps drive what books get slabbed at a greater rate. Right off the top of my head, I can think of four collector friends who have a MGA 1 unslabbed, and those are mostly local guys who have no plans to sell their collections anytime soon. I am probably in the minority, but I wish all comics were worth less - that way, I could buy many of the ones I'm missing. Some of the prices being realized today sadden me in a way.
  10. Long a sleeper. Very parallel in many ways to Avengers 4, though earlier and tougher in grade.
  11. I think you have to include Tales of the Unexpected as well. It followed a similar trajectory as Mystery in Space - sci-fi/fantasy anthology and then features sci-fi hero (Adam Strange/Space Ranger). I can't see how you'll see much more than the steady growth bc mentioned - I mean, with the big explosions in price for PCH and GGA, and then too the oddball superhero stuff like Ace, and never mind the usual grail books, especially in grade... How much money can there be in our hobby??? It does seem to concentrate itself in some of those areas, and so be it: we still need some (relative) bargains somewhere!
  12. I also just picked up a copy of this noteworthy war cover:
