    I'm glad to see this thread on the main page WHERE IT BELONGS. In a late night fit of ambition to keep it there, I offer this humble raw offering from the "beat but complete" box: Bad news: it's a little beat up, for sure. Good news: it's an early JIM and it has an Everett cover.

    I agree. Since asking this question in the wee hours, I've since seen a scan of what I guess is that copy and, man-oh-man, what a book!

    Forgive me is it's otherwise well known, but is the MH Marvel 1 a 9.0 as I seem to recall, and is its current owner more or less a matter of record within the hobby?

    The tragic part is that I have boxes and stacks of things going back a year or more that require my undivided attention, and here I am falling all over myself trying to buy more. What's wrong with me?? And I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one here thusly afflicted. We really need group therapy.

    My nervous fingers hit the "Caps lock" key. I sure did buckle under the pressure. I guess I'm not a high stakes player...

    Who can resist a sneering Bets? Neither of us, it seems.

    Yes... train our impressionable fingers to type "take" and then lure us in!

    Good to know, as I think I've run into this before.

    Good ol' Dot, despite her rather unique and singular obsession, is a straight-shooter, sure enough.

    Indeed! And saved me $45...

    I think under a second on that one. All us grown-ups with little to do on a Saturday night except refresh their computer screen frantically trying to buy old comics.

    Yeah, some surprising results as mentioned: I LOVE Mask 2 (probably more than 1) and I am dumbfounded that Suspense 8 isn't even on the poll!!! Still fun to see how these things shake out, and kudos to Tabcom for constructing the poll.

    Since threads dealing with "classic covers" invariably veer off into people's favored covers, I'm offering up these examples with a grain of salt: Can't leave out that bastion of good taste, Charlton: Romita goodness with a non-superhero bent: Heath magic: Gotta have some love for the cartoons of the 60's (even if you call this 15c bronze): This Cardy Aquaman cover deserves an honorable mention for a great layout: And one of my all-time favorite silver age covers:

    I'm going to take a modicum of credit for this cover being a break-out. Many years ago, I had this one featured on flickr and it was one of a few postings that had the most views by far. That was back when flickr was relevant and a post of anything from a certain mid-century magazine or an old postcard would drive people over to the Bay, much like the Boards do now for certain genres. Dumb things is, I didn't bother to buy a minty copy first. I guess I'm no Hunt brother...

    I think you're onto something . There are books sitting in your current sales thread that would've flown outta here within hours if not minutes mere months ago (at least by my observations). It's a feast-or-famine thing I guess. It also seems a little competition within a sales thread will prompt more buyers to pull the trigger - that whole "frenzy" mentality. Threads where no one breaks the ice somehow seem to engender apathy well out of proportion to the material being offered. Comics, fun to own, but also great chum for a spectator sport, I suppose.

    Wow... now THAT'S playing hardball in the big leagues!

    Count me in, as I too love these Tomahawk appearances in Star Spangled as well as his own lengthy run. I can't see anybody under thirty ever appreciating these (unless they turn him into a wiccan android with healing powers or something), so we'll probably be stuck with them in the old folks' home which is fine by me. p.s. I swung by a local stamp show today because I collect so much other old paper like billheads and the like. Sorry to report that I was the youngest person there by a good twenty years, save for one dealer who was selling off his father's collection.

    That IS a good find!

    I'll take one copy at $5 please
