  1. ...sorry, I'm looking for a little gremlin called "DROOL LIKE CRAZY" Killer book, Mr. Bedrock! GE
  2. Now, that is cool! Never had one. Add that to the list! Awesome cover... and love the caption: "The boy with the most comic books in America...he reads 'em, breathes 'em and sleeps 'em!" Seems like a fun thing to do in Hell! C-L-A-S-S-I-C! GE
  3. Fresh from CGC, another wonderful, classic Timely cover: Captain America #18 I love the bright colors...the blade appears to jump out at you! GE
  4. Never owned it, Ben. I posted in on the boards as a favor to give Harley exposure/visibility for the book...which it certainly did! Saw it at NY Con...wonderful book and outstanding pick-up for you. Had I not just purchased the Beerbohm/Filter/Ciorac Tec '31 I might have gone for it! But, when you made the trade with Harley, I jumped on the Action #13... ENJOY! Dino
  5. "...SUCH STUFF AS DREAMS ARE MADE ON" Shakespeare's The Tempest Amazing story and outstanding books, Bangzoom! Thanks for sharing... GE
  6. Okay, I'll finally admit it....I was the undisclosed buyer of the Action #13 from Harley who, of course, acquired the book in Primetime's trade for his Tec #31. This copy has the "printing error" in the title logo, but it's not as distracting as one might think (actually looks like clouds in a blue sky to me! ). The book's sharp colors, tight spine and great overall presentation more than make up for it IMO! My five-year search has ended...I'm just thrilled to have the 3rd highest graded copy (at least, until Bangzoom slabs his...) GE
  7. Gorgeous All-Americans, Bangzoom! Your books look as they just arrived on the newstands in 1939... Thanks for sharing.... keep 'em coming! GE
  8. What a great pick-up, Bill! Great minds think alike... GE
  9. Fantastic Tec 27, Bill! Congrats on your grail! Your patience, keen eye and good fortune have rewarded you very, very well... ENJOY! GE
  10. Rick-- Any danger in spoiling him early ...after Tec #27 and Batman #1, it's mostly downhill from there!!! GE
  11. Speaking of shapely things... Here's my Torchy #4...Canadian edition published two months after U.S. edition...Highest Graded Copy! BTW, top census for U.S. edition only 7.5. GE
  12. Focused on GA Superhero books, I've never owned a New Comics issue until now... #10 What sold me? I think it's pretty cool seeing "1936" on the cover... GE
  13. Incredible collection of books, Billy_Parker! or should I say "Billy _All-Mighty" ...any more Schomburg Timelys and you're gonna have trade that pool table in for a bowling alley!!! GE
  14. Speaking of fantastic covers....this "pair of blue jeans" arrived today.. Congrats Bill!! What an incredible book GE
  15. GE; Now that's a real sharp looking book for a 6.5 F+ and a great pickup. I have been looking for one of these for years now at a reasonable price without any luck. I remember Fishler had the D copy at one time, but was asking for a really outrageous price considering the condition. What are the major flaws on this copy since it definitely looks nicer than a 6.5 from the front cover image? Did you have to pay a significant premium to condition guide for this copy? Congtars again on your pickup. Thanks, Lou_Fine. I've always wanted a copy and looked closely at Metro's D copy (6.5 also) but this copy looked cleaner and brighter....the yellow background really pops in person. I acquired the book in a trade involving my All Select #4 and some cash. Paid well over guide but it's a keeper. Census shows only an 8.0 and the two 6.5s... hard to pass up. GE
  16. Bought this Jumbo Comics #10 at the NY Con....One of my favorite covers, classic Lou Fine and scarce with only 3 in CGC census. GE
  17. Awesome GA group shot, Ben! I knew you had the Action 13 and Bats 1 but the supporting cast is just as impressive! GE
  18. Awesome, coolJ!!! Tough book in almost any grade! Your #16 would go well with the All American #17 CGC 6.0 I just listed on eBay: All American #17 GE I agree, but I'm having a problem entering my bid of 3000.00 I just changed the listing to a STARTING BID of $99!!! No more excuses...GO FOR IT! GE
  19. Awesome, coolJ!!! Tough book in almost any grade! Your #16 would go well with the All American #17 CGC 6.0 I just listed on eBay: All American #17 GE
  20. Surfer, Great book! Is this from ebay seller "popscomicsbooks"? You know, the secret-warehouse-filled-with-GA-keys-in-Las-Vegas seller... If so, this may legitimize this seller whose auctions have always been clouded by skepticism. GE
  21. could you perhaps get a close up of the seven seas ..and the Dizzy Dames please (I've never seen this one before)... GE
  22. Congrats, mattbird! Classic Raboy image...one of the best flag covers IMO! GE
