Congrats, Jeff. Indeed, you are enjoying some of life's most precious treasures...some in mylar, others in baby blankets!

GreatEscape = Stars-and-stripes on eBay

Dino

unrestored OW/W pages....listed in the 'Have a Cigar' thread.....

 

 

Superb looking book and smart buy, Steve. Congrats!

Dino

That's a great looking 5.5

 

I was thinking the same thing. Whats the deal with it only being a 5.5?

I BIN'd it on Comiclink (for half guide! ), so risk is low. I'll get a closer look when it arrives.... but the book presents 7.0 or better.

A little Memorial Day present to myself...to honor those who fight for our liberty!

Love those flag covers...

GE

Pretty jacked about these two books which I think I picked up at a great price.

So, that was you who one the Target #5. Terrific deal ...Jerry put a $250 estimate on it but Guide = $1100!

GE

Here's a book that I've had sellers regret for since around 2002 when I sold my nice raw copy in my initial stages at eBay...thanks to MCMiles I have finally brought another copy home to roost in the ArAich collection....

 

nice book (did cgc omit the PQ?)...I have always liked that copy...it reminds me of another book, but I can't put my finger on it!

Rick...Let me take a guess: Thrilling #59? BTW, Congrats ArAich!

GE

Great books everyone! Here's a new addition to my collection...

...as a bonus, I've added a pic of the S&K splash page!

Speaking of eBay impulse buys and Hitler covers...I just won this from Motor City Comics:

GE

Here's a cool Femme Fatale cover...

"She's got legs...and knows how to use them!"

Why doesn't he just hit him with the club?

 

He's a golfer not a fighter

Besides, Kit doesn't want to damage his sand-wedge or he'll have a tough back nine!

143ksk,

Fantastic Marvel Mystery #11 ...I'll bet it's the CGC 5.5 copy. I owned it (and slabbed it) a while back...

Dino

Congrats Mike!!!

Who says you can't get any ACTION in Albany?

GE

Great purchase, Richard!

Speaking of Hangman, while everyone was focused on the Sept Heritage Auctions, I quietly sneaked over to Mastro Auctions and picked up this classic, uber-cool Hangman #2! Pssst...Highest Graded Copy!

Dino

Most Jaw Dropping book in the lot is that Tarzan.

 

Thanks for noticing! It is the Central Valley copy, and at present the book closest to my heart. Saw it at San Diego last year and was able to work out a very unreasonable price on it. But sometimes you just bite your lip and pay!

BTW...the other really cool book is the Silver Streak #1. It is the Pay Copy. Got it at the first Philly Wizard show from a guy walking around the room selling Golden Age. He was at my table buying a World's Finest #3 and said "I can't believe I am buying something. I actually came here to sell!" One thing led to another......

...Guys, I think that "filler" Marvel Mystery #9 CGC 6.5 is not bad either!

Dino

I have posted this in other threads but

Awesome book, Surfer! I wish all my 6.0 books looked that nice...

Dino

 

Same basic principle with Schomburg covers. Great art is great art.

 

Schomburg rocks. Period.

Jive, I couldn't agree more, bro! Another great Timely Schomburg cover just picked up on Comiclink...

As a sequel to his famous "burnt arm" image from HT#12, Schomburg here presents "burnt hair"

GE

What an action-packed cover! Schommy, if you ever upgrade

GE

Now, we rejoin our regularly scheduled program...Timelys!!!

Kid Komics #2 VF Unrestored (not as nice as MrBedrock's, but I'll take it!)

GE

Nice pick-up rjpb!

#22 (actually #1) is scarce and only 8 in cencus. According to OPG, Crime Does Not Pay is the first crime title....so, is this the first crime comic? Curious...

GE

Congrats on a phenomenoal book! It's a real treat to see a comic as rare and high grade as yours. Thanks for sharing!

GE

Just got this page, Thanks Dino!

 

Awesome Submariner page -

 

Thanks, it has popped up a few times in that last couple of years, but now it is gone for good! I was really happy when I was able to buy it since I missed it in Heritage's auction the 1st go around and got home late from work and missed it in the CLINK auction.

Always glad to help....and Happy Birthday!! Enjoy the wonderful Subby splash page!

Dino

Awesome book, Rick! Glad to see the CEO gets to enjoys a few wonderful "toys" of his own...

GE

New addition and tough book (for me) to find in grade...Top Notch #5. Okay, I'm addicted to GA flag covers!!!

Thanks to Bill Hughes for working out a deal on this gem!

GE

Nice GA collection in great shape....I'm a big fan of the Flash #14 WW2 cover!
