  1. OK, last one of the thread and I'm going to close down, pop a beer and relax for a while... DC Comics 1936 New Adventure Comics Magazine Junior Federal Men Club Pinback! 2nd DC club behind the More Fun club.This is two years before Superman. Being a comic book premium collector, I can't stress how hard these are to find. They just aren't out there.This one has a tiny cello split just to the left of the wing otherwise great shape.The photo suks.My camera just doesn't do good close up photos. I went in a little close so the small print could be read. In hand, it is very sharp. Find a better one (or any one). You can own a great piece of DC history. I will try later to post a more clear photo but this will have to do for now. $225.
  2. SOLD! Black Cat Mystery #39 June 1952 Harvey Pubs What an awsome book. Great "Frankenstein" grabbing a little boy cover. Sick contents, just see the photos. I know why my mom hated books like this and the good Doctor selected for inclusion in Seduction of the Innocent! Very pretty copy. Check out that beautiful black cover. No tears, chips, creases or missing pieces.Glossy as all get out. Nice off white interior pages. But... there is always a but huh? The covers are very neatly split and detached from book. In a mylar you would be drooling... $50 as is...
  3. Racket Squad #12 Aug 1954 Charlton Pubs Wow, what a classic Ditko cover! I'm not a huge Ditko fan as a rule, but this one is in my top 5. You can really feel that explosion. And the contents? Wow,I think I will just let the pictures speak for themselves... Well, it's a little holy... Has two punch holes in spine and even one at the top right why? That being said, that is probably how this copy was so well preserved. Other than the holes, it is bright, clean and tight. Spine is smooth. Staples are very neatly popped but cover is still attached. No tears, creases or missing pieces. Book has a little wave to it. Not creased and I see no sign of water damage, just waved. Back cover has a bit on an indentation spot. Fresh, supple interior pages. $75.
  4. I will PM him when I get all done tonight and if not, it's yours and will let you know. I usually go by the first and he hasn't done it. You're a great guy to give him the chance
  5. Sorry Gang, I have a few more comics to put up but it seems to be raining on the "cloud" and I can't access my photos for some reason. Hang in there

  12. OK, new discounts are in place. Some of these have been cut 3 times to the bone. One even turned into a freebee! Too tired to do an official re-cap. Just take a couple of minutes to scroll through. You mind find something so cool and so cheap, that you just can't live without. Picked up a few new things today at the Flea and a small local Comic Show. Will post them in a few minutes...

Thanks for checking this thread out and back to your regularly scheduled programming...

  19. Anybody but me like 1940's Kelloggs Pep pins? Great set of 86 characters from 1945-1947. Always marked with Pep cereal in the back. But wait... These two are different. One is blank and one has "Made in USA" in the backs. Character is Uncle Walt from Gasoline Alley. I bought a small group of these from a Kelloggs employee many years ago. He said they were prototypes but I can't verify for certain. Showed them to Ted Hake and he had never seen them. If you collect these, you need these rare variations for your set! You get two pins. One of each back variation (same character) for $20.
