I had this one for a short time but sold it due to it being incomplete, still in search of a replacement.

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

yeh Bob on the Submissions tracking page, click on the Submission link and then click on the Line Item link and it brings you to the Verify Cert page with the grader's notes and the scans

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…

They're briefcases for the office. Top level execs like to demonstrate that they busy themselves at home with only the most important matters and therefore don't carry thick briefcases. 

There could be more than four and of course in a multiplicity of colours.

In addition to the briefcases SPP also released binders:

It seems  that the Digger, Daddy, Davey and Freddy Flameout binders listed in the above catalogue were available in red, yellow, green and black. Here are some pictures I've managed to find:

  

SPP also released at least two more Weird-Ohs binders not shown in the above catalogue:

So I count at least six different binders. Each was perhaps available in red, yellow, green, black and perhaps even teal. Plus at least one pencil case:

I'm not sure how many different pencil cases there were or in how many different colours. All I know for sure is that any self-respecting Hawk Weird-Ohs enthusiast needs to have them all!

Cool! Never have owned the binders or pencil cases.

Some of the parts are enclosed beneath the cardboard insert.

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

Those LP's are wild cool! I remember seeing one of the "Big Daddy" Roth ones when I was actively accumulating vinyl LP's circa 1970. I have one other "Big Daddy" Roth LP you've not pictured:

I like to relax to the sweet sounds of Rods 'n Ratfinks:

But I don't have the Weird-Ohs or Silly Surfers LP's. I take it that yours are two separate albums. I believe I've seen an LP with the Weird-Ohs on the front of the sleeve and the Silly Surfers on the back.

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?

I haven’t posted anything in a while, but I picked up this beauty recently. Thought I’d share. 
 

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.

Here are a couple more then (not mine):

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.

Caught one in the wild today in a short box under a table in eastern Tennessee.  To make a rare score even sweeter, it's Baker cover to cover

Great score Beau! Reminds me of all the “love books” I left in dollar boxes under the tables in the early ‘70’s. I was grabbing as many PCH books from those boxes instead…

Action # 1 is about as common to CC as Hulk 181.

Amazing what eventually happed to Bob Wood. One of so many strange stories in the history of comics creators…

Adam is probably the best seller on EBay. He gets some astounding results. And not every collector goes the big auction house buying route. The perception is you might have a better chance of getting “lucky” on the Bay.

Picked this up at the flea market yesterday. It is a free monthly magazine with the goings on in the local antique world. Also auction results nationally on a variety of antiques. The cover just screamed out at me. I just had to know. Interesting article but what was of biggest interest to me was the full page article on PCH books. I have never heard of this collector or this auction house. Apparently, this auction happened beginning of Jan.

Frankly, I never like seeing articles like this in the hands of “civilians”. Gives everyone the wrong idea. Sure makes it tougher on us flea market scroungers…

Anybody here ever visit this library? Looks like the Sistine Chapel of comics.

I know “nobody cares about these” but when I run into them in this shape for a couple of bucks, I just can’t leave them…

Not familiar with this mag, but some of the "regional" or "rural" women's/farmer's mags are really well done and full of fiction.  This cover is really playful

Me neither. Just liked the cover and price. How often does one find cool magazines this old? The lady had a bunch of 1930’s movie mags as well. All photo covers of pretty much unknown stars. Thought about them but I just didn’t know what I would do with them.

Cool pick up

This reminds me of just walking into a secondhand store yesterday and picking up not a pulp but this the first Donald Duck in this  run for $10

 

Now that’s quite the pickup! Congrats!

Flea market pickup today. Not really a pulp but mostly fiction stories. The cover and age just made me grab it.

Got that one for Christmas when I was a kid. Was my pride and joy. Rode it to bits along with my Sting Ray Lemon Peeler bike...

Those Collegeville "Big Daddy" Roth costumes are boss cool! There's also a Surfink:

 (Not mine.)

Were you the one to get Ed Roth's autograph on the costume? I never actually met Roth anywhere but I had a couple phone conversations with him circa 2000.

Yeah, I got him to sign at at the Hot Rod Hootenanny at the Moon Records parking lot show. My buddy got an old toilet seat painted with a Rat Fink airbrushed treatment.
