Robot Man

Take

I probably won’t submit many. Cost and storage space. I don’t intend to sell any. They look very pretty in Mylar so what’s the point? The ones I do will be done if they are high grade or ones I just love the covers for. Trying to get some of the pricier ones done before the prices push them over the top. So many still fall into the “value” tier. Once graded, I suspect they will tip over to the next tier. So trying to beat the rush as prices rise. Also trying to get some of the more unusual and ones I think are overlooked done. I’ll post the other ones I submitted when I get them back.

Smart move, get them while you can. I have always thought them cheap when compared to their comic cousins. These are really starting to take off in my area.

Nice! I’d buy it too. Over the years, I have bought two collections of covers only. I’m mostly a cover guy so the combination of a very affordable price and dwindling storage space, they are perfect for me.

Almost twice as thick as a comic book slab. See Hibou’s photo on the previous page.

Well my first eagle has landed. My first submission to CGC. I dropped this off at WonderCon on 3/29 and got it today. Quicker than I expected. Came back a little better than I expected. I had it at 7.0 so I guess my grading skills aren’t too bad. This slab is THICK! I will have to add on to the comic room if I keep doing this. Now, I wait for my two “value” submissions…

Superman #125

Flea market painting find. Not actual production art but a very nice amateur effort.

Scored these today in a trade with a local guy. Blinding colors! Don’t have time to go through my FH Jungle and Jumbo comics but these covers seem real familiar. Possible swipes? I have a handful of very high grade Jungle pulps. Due to their traditional low values, now might be a good time to have some of them graded.

No biggie, that’s what pressing is for. Seen one Action 1 you seen ‘em all…

The Chicago Toy Show is one of the best shows of its kind in the US. Or at least it used to be. I haven’t been in maybe 8 years. Lots of amazing eye candy. And I have even found old comics there.

Love that Halloween issue!

Is that a bound volume? Some great overlooked digest covers there.

Nice! I would have happily kept it even incomplete. It’s all about the cover and one I am very unlikely to obtain anymore.

Thanks Andy. I got through and was able to see the graders notes but there is no scan. Maybe they haven’t posted it yet? Or maybe I have to pay extra for it? I did check the census page and my copy is not listed yet. I’m a GA collector. One thing I have learned is patience…

I remember buying that Flash off the rack at the drug store. But by that time I was a Marvel Zombie.

Hit a couple of unopened F case boxes yesterday. Got a couple Treasure Hunt Mustangs and this beautiful ‘71 El Camino purple Super! A whole lotta fun for a few bucks.

Without reading all 7 pages, I would just say No, period. A seller has every right no matter what their reasons are, to ask what ever they want. A buyer has every right to say no. Try taking an old comic into a 7-11 and offer to trade it for a carton of milk. Ultimately, that will determine it’s true value…

Here’s mine. I got it a LONG time ago. I bought it because 1.) It was a Giant, 2.) It was a Crime book, 3.) It had a purty dame on the cover and 4.) It was probably cheap. In the days that if it wasn’t a GA Timely, DC, an EC or a Barks book, it had very little interest. In those days, $50-75. bought a large stack of interesting books. Nobody knew who Matt Baker was. Just dumb luck I guess.

Cool! Never have owned the binders or pencil cases.

Yes. My Mr Gasser is a factory sealed bottom box. I hope he’s in there…

Yes, 2 separate albums. I photographed both sides..

Just read that my single high value pulp has been shipped. Grade is about what I expected. Can’t wait to see it… The lower value ones are still in grading. Will post when they arrive. Is it possible to see the CGC scan?

A great Woody cover! I got mine MANY years ago on my honeymoon. Was in San Francisco and just bumped into it in a used book store. Still have it.

Love those especially in black. I wonder what they were supposed to be used for? Mine is only a few inches thick. I assume there are 4 in the set. I’ve had mine like forever and haven’t seen another other than these.
