Purchased a book from Ed last week. He was easy to deal with, shipped quickly, and packaged the book securely. Pleasure to do business with this awesome member of the board!

Thank you for that update. I hope under the new management, things will improve. If your package was delivered two weeks ago and is still not showing up (not even scanned), that seems problematic. I wouldn't think scanning a package would require a lot of time. Thank you, again.

I sent a package to CGC some time ago. USPS shows that it was delivered to CGC on 08/09 and yet when I type the trackng number into CGC, they say they don't have it (it has not yet been scanned). This seems strange to me. I get that they may be behind in actually "grading" books, however, shouldn't they at least be scanning packages as they arrive (so they can account for what is actually there)? IDK. Is this normal? I do not submit to CGC all that often, so maybe this is normal. Any insights from you guys that are far more experienced at this than I am?

Hi William.

Tomorrow is Free Comic Book Day. Apparently at MH, you can buy a complete set of this year's "free" comics for $100. https://www.milehighcomics.com/cgi-bin/backissue.cgi?action=direct&issue=33733656155 1 I don't even know what to say anymore...

Bad hair (poorly drawn).

I will say that not everything is about making the most money (as I once believed companies were in business to do). If this was the case then why are there so many more “ R “ rated movies than say PG 13, even though PG 13 movies on average take in a lot more money. if I were a movie company, I don’t think I would ever make an R rated movie. It just does not seem to make as much good business sense as other rated movies. Just my thought. Perhaps off topic. If so, I apologize.

My condolences on the loss of your brother. Losing a sibling has to be a very difficult thing.

I am not sure I am allowed to post here as I am NOT a "long time" board member, however, I just had to say what a great set of books you have there. Daredevil is awesome and those are some fine examples. Beautiful! Congrats!

Thank you! I have been trying to resist this. What an awesome cover. Congrats.

I received an email from Chuck yesterday. In part it said..... "The good news is that I am unearthing an abundance of issues that I purchased during my West Coast buying trip that are filling key gaps in our website offerings. To provide but one example, I unearthed a near-complete run of the Star Wars (1977) series yesterday afternoon. We already had individual copies of most of these issues in stock, but those newly-found treasures will help us to fill in many gaps in the spread of grades that we can offer you. That makes a big difference to me, as my goal is not only to have every comic book printed since 1956 in stock, but also to offer you as broad of a range of price options as possible. In that regard, excellent progress was made." I found this interting in many ways. 1) I never really thought of MH as the place to go for books from 1956. I concede that they have a great selection of modern books, however, I had typically found their SA and GA selection, shall we say "lacking". IMO. 2) He states that he wants to "offer you as broad a range of price options as possible". This may be true IF by broad range you simply mean a wide price difference between high and low grades EVEN IF ALL THOSE PRICES ARE INSANELY HIGH at ANY grade. So, I went to the MH web site to see about both the selection and pricing of books from 1956. As many of you know, I am a big fan of Action Comics and so I decided to look at Action Comics from 1956 (issues 212 - 223). To my great surprise, Chuck actually had seven (7) of these twelve (12) books in stock. That is pretty good. IMO. I then went to MCS and found them to have eleven (11) of these twelve (12) books in stock. @mycomicshop. Much better, but still I will give Chuck credit for having a decent selection of 1956 Action Comics. Now to pricing. Issue 212 - MH - Not in Stock - MCS - 1 copy in CGC 3.0 for $140 Issue 213 - MH - 1 copy in G for $1,407 (I almost fell out of my chair when I saw this) - MCS - 1 copy in CGC 4.0 for $150 Issue 214 - MH - 1 copy in VG for $3,072 (OK, now we really are getting ridiculous) - MCS - 3 copies from Poor to VG/FN from $13.50 to $190 Issue 215 - MH - Not in Stock - MCS - 3 copies for immediate sale Issue 216 - MH - Not in Stock - MCS - Not in Stock Issue 217 - MH - Not is Stock - MCS - 2 copies Issue 218 - MH - 1 copy in Fair - $705 - MCS 2 copies Fair - $52 and CGC 3.0 for $125 Issue 219 - MH 1 copy in Fair - $705 - MCS - 3 copies from $44 - $275 (the $275 is for a CGC 6.0) Issue 220 - MH - 1 copy in Good - $1,407 - MCS - 3 copies from $44 - $135 Issue 221 - MH - 1 copy in Good for $1,155 - MCS - 3 copies from $13 - $250 Issue 222 - MH - Not in Stock - MCS - 2 copies from $80 - $225 Issue 223 - MH - 1 copy in Fair fo $578 - MCS - 3 copies in 3.5 for $99.95 - $125 SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS STUFF UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Perhaps Chuck's plan to have every book from 1956 on up is to price them SO HIGH (MILE HIGH) that no one can afford them. That way they will stay in stock.

Any more Actions coming???

I admit, I would like to go and see this place in person. I am assuming he does not charge admission (probably should not give him any ideas) and so it wouldn't cost me anything just to look and enjoy the vast quantity of material he has acquired.

What a great book. If someone has not read this, they are missing out. It is a great read and a great piece of comic history. Thanks to the OP for offering these here on the boards.

Looking through this thread, I didn't see a copy of this book. Please forgive the poor photography.

Welcome to the Boards. Always happy to see another collector join us here. BTW - Awesome books - Congrats.

Thank you, sir. If you and Sharon both give it positive feedback than I am happy to give it a try. It would be great to have something decent to watch. I tried that Katy Keene show when it first came out. After about 10 or 15 minutes, I shut it off. Glad they didn't waste film making more than one season of that. I am a big fan of Stargirl. I watch it with my daughter and it seems to have good, wholesome messages; the kind of things I want my children to be taught.

I cannot agree more that Stargirl has not yet fallen into the pit that most of their other shows are in. In fact, I cannot wait until the next season starts. So far I give it an A+. I only saw pieces of the pilot episode of the Superman and Lois show. If you say it is better than Batwoman (give that an F), Kung Fu (another F), and Flash (give that a C), then maybe I will give it a watch. I do still watch Supergirl, which I find better than Batwoman, Kung Fu, and Flash, but nowhere near the level of Stargirl.

IMO the CW must have a single set of writers who write ALL their shows (or at a minimum all the ones that I have watched).

After the most recent episode, I deleted this show from any further recordings on the DVR.

Price is everything! I would be willing to buy any condition book IF the price were right. If it was an Action 1 it could be brittle, mouse chewed, cat peed, and come from a house full of chain smokers. Just as long as the price matches the condition.

What about Super Chuck (Mile High Comics) super ability to acquire more low value comics than anyone in the world and then price them at levels higher than Superman can jump???

What a great book! Being a "math guy", I wondered what kind of a "return on investment" that would be. Some child's parents probably gave him a dime, back in 1940, and told him he should not waste his money on comic books. The child buys the book and now it has a FMV of $83K. How many other investments return an average of over 18.3% for 81 years? Good luck selling this awesome piece of comic history.
