  1. I agree with Mmehdy's top 4 - and the arguments for the five spot could go on and on. However you allocate the founding of eBay, to one or more individuals, a case could there be made for number 5.
  2. Sweet pick-up, Robot Man. It never ceases to amaze me how under-utilized Supe's powers were on so many of these early covers. There was so much light-hearted fare, when comics were still fun, lllooonnngggg before comics got all dark and serious.
  3. I'll bite (no pun intended). Is this real? Or a photoshopped faux response? It would've taken a very prescient rodent saboteur - and heartless at that - to craft such a legacy...
  4. Hey, I know the feeling, believe me. Once I discovered the ten-centers though, I was hooked. One of my first buys was a True Comics no. 72 for the princely sum of a buck or two in the mid-70's.
  5. I know this trio of number 2's are a little early for this thread, but they don't look so hot compared to MMC 29 in that "other" thread:
  6. I totally agree. Sometimes, understandably, one's eyes may be drawn to the defects, but in this case the bright red and green "blue"print draw you in. A great small-logo Detective.

  8. Talk about contempt for money! But I understand if someone's been looking for it for a while...
  9. p.s. BOOT - that's kickin' it old school with the Barker's Komic! Love it.
  10. Yeah, at ten to twenty bucks a piece, it's tough to find a better per capita pop culture wallop than the pulps. (And trust me, I've tried a LOT! Roadside postcards, vintage board games, B-movie posters, soda bottles... Man, junk rules, doesn't it? )
  11. The sci-fi pulps of the 40's and 50's are by no measure scarce, but that doesn't diminish their appeal. IMHO you can't go wrong picking up something that "pops" when you prop it up near your desk at the prices you mentioned.
  12. Nice lot. A few Popular Library's and the first Novel Library. Sinful Woman is a great cover and I've always liked Roadside Night.
  13. And maybe my least intuitive contribution of baseball memorabilia:
