There's one thing that isn't in short supply these days: self-righteousness.

Yeah, I think that pretty much sums it up, except add to that the couple feet of snow we’ve shoveled the past few weeks. We have an escape plan, but I will miss Gene n Jude’s and a few places like that. Plus, the flea markets are fairly decent, but wherever we wind up, I’m sure I’ll find new haunts for finding junque and what not.

Please don't hold it against me.

Can I be a little of each category 2 and 3? And as to silver age books that are hot, I submit the following: every durn, blanking mainstream silver age Marvel that I'm still missing!! I routinely get outbid on nondescript issues of Hulk or Avengers that I need to fill my later runs - forget about the early books and keys. I was having some success before the lockdowns, but the last year has basically seen a frenzied untethering from reality. I'm bowing out of trying until things settle down, and if they don't, that's okay too, as I have enough neat things to look at and play with. Madness, I tell you....

Probably their new Managed Payments program. They've been talking about it over in the Comics General thread for the past year. I've sold things on eBay since the early days, but only as a casual seller. Those days are behind me now, as it's definitely not worth the hassle. Opinions will vary, of course.

Well stated. I believe there is a madness upon the land, in multiple guises and manifestations: this is as precise and prescient a summary of that economic malady as I could ever aspire or indict.

That Detective 333 is such a cool cover!! Minor key, too: first appearance of the Purple Elephant.

It seems Marvel gets the lion's share of love.

Take Adventure 327, Brave and Bold 43 and 51, and Detective 329 per PM thanks!

Take this and Cap 158 and 159

Take please

Take Hulk annuals 2 and 3 please

Of course I love the tin, but it also looks like you have some great marbles inside! That looks like a large latticino swirl and possibly a mica right on top, along with lots of other swirls and aggies. That would certainly be a treat for marble collectors to rummage through.

I was playing around with some Victorian sheet music and listening to “Dark Side Of The Moon” - over a century apart, but they somehow meshed surprisingly well.

It's more appropriately a matter of conflation and definition rather than two distinct, physically differing phenomenon. We only approximate reality with our models, and the bridge in its obstinance does not conveniently manifest monotonically-increasing amplitudes as opposed to the resonance suggested by a cleverly simplified (and entirely elegant) O.D.E. In an aeroelastic analysis they choose to put their chips on the positive feedback loop section of the felt, whereas the chaps in the camp of mechanical resonance see this self-excitation as being axiomatic to its very definition. I've seen these "battles of the camps" too many times not to be skeptical of the order of the day. Not when there's ego, prestige, NSA-funding, etc. on the line. p.s. I saw a link above which I didn't view. As for any applications of harmonics to health and healing, I have no dog in the fight. EDIT: Regarding the failure of the bridge, it's analytically insincere to reject the long-held theory of resonance without a non-linear solution to the D.E. in which some bulk stiffness (usually denoted by k) varies with time (represented implicitly by w, understood to be the angular frequency) to include the changing stiffness (of the bridge, in this case) as a function of the damage so-far incurred; in other words, k cannot be considered constant (k = k(w,t,...)). Terming the whole phenomenon "flutter" is a bit of a contrivance, in my very humble opinion, but if the models hold up in their burgeoning use, so be it.

I'm sorry for your loss. That the books came back to you seems quite fitting, as I'm sure you will cherish their legacy.

Funny how this stuff shows up in different places. Here's a shot of your pic as a calendar inset. Most of the books date to May or June of 1948.

I agree! And I would've pulled the trigger too. Every book doesn't have to be minty. Some are perfect just the way they are, and yours looks like it was read and enjoyed more than a few times - all part of the history of that particular copy. To illustrate the previous point, here's a piece of well-loved and worn sheet music from the 1880's. Someone lovingly hand-stitched the sheets back together after they split at the spine from years of use and enjoyment. Add to that all the dog ears, rounded corners and foxing and you have quite the tattered artifact. You know, that being said, I wouldn't appreciate this piece half as much if it was mint.

It's really an irresistible artifact! I don't have one, and I've seen very few over the years, even at nosebleed prices. I think it's the sort of book that disappears into collections and stays there long-term. The last one I held was at a postcard show. The dealer wanted $400, and I can't see myself ever paying near that. Honestly, for that kind of money, I want a Marvel Mystery Comics! My price paradigm will be forever stuck in the 1980's I guess.
