Frontline Combat 12

Well,  the  scan looks pretty good,  but  the  spine  is  nearly   completely split, and  there's  some  glue  at  the  lower
staple,  which is probably  the only  thing  holding  everything  together.   Razzafrazin' rotten...well,  the interior
is nice,   tight with  white  pages.   "Looks  good in a mylar"

$15 takes it

 

Wow, just wow. I don't feel worthy to be here. I mean not one but TWO Bat ones? I'd be embarrassed by o show mine.

Great stuff here, all Top 3 worthy. Certainly the toughest year for me as a collector to narrow it down to three, as i had a great one. Was going to pick my Blue Ribbon Comics #9 also, but since my good buddy @gino2paulus2 showed his (and was instrumental in bringing to my attention the copy that eventually became mine  )i'll pick another book. 

1)The Berk auction was the event this year, i'll never forget that week , I finally scored a Larson copy (with a cool Octopus cover to boot)!  2)Also got an issue of the elusive 'Our Flag Comics' run in the CC auction before the Berk auction.  3)and lastly @Robot Man shared a tin Bugs Bunny toy a ways back and i've always wondered what it 'was'. Through much nudging from a friend who knows i love 'junk' i started perusing 'Etsy'. I saw and scored a complete version of this 1940's tin toy (with an original box!!). Bugs nor Porky 'talk' anymore, but this was the number one pick of 2017 for me. 

Always happy to see people appreciate the whole spectrum of comic character collecting. Great grab on the Bugs toy Corey. Gotta be super rare and the box too? Never seen it. Was nice ce to see where my Bugs figure came from. Get it fixed and talking. In the toy world this is a very good thing as opposed to resto in the comic community.

When I saw this I figured I'd be in the minority. I'd go Black Cat too. For all the reasons listed and because it is a good read as well (for those who actually read their comics). Not to mention, it's a great Halloween cover too. Maybe my favorite Black Cat. 

Now if you are talking "investment" the Approved would be a better choice I think. Baker is HOT and this is very undervalued I believe. 

I get what sunburst says. He means it is not a romance cover. I totally disagree though. A lot of the stuff Baker did for St John other than romance is in many cases just as good or in some cases even better than the romance stuff and a lot more readable. Just look at that beautiful leggy babe. Come on...

If I were you, I'd save up my money and buy both!

Phil is a top notch buyer! Paid very quick with great communication. Also followed up when received. Sell to him with full confidence. Thanks for your order!

I love it when there is a big auction coming up and Rick starts digging deep 

Just awsome stuff as always my friend. Just got to find the right book at the right price. 

Hope you are going after something good and you get it!

Is she dead in current comics? Shrug I have no idea and I doubt anyone in the golden age forum will know either. Even if she is it is another terrible idea by Marvel.

Never kill off characters that sell your comic books.

Never kill off characters that are currently active and alive in your movie franchises...it is confusing to those new readers you are trying to acquire.

Perhaps I am just bitter/ annoyed as the top 4 comics I purchased over the last 5 years from Marvel: Hulk, Wolverine, Thor and Black Widow.

Hulk - Dead

Wolverine - Dead

Thor - a woman now

Black Widow -  is she dead?

Great way to make me have a smaller pull list Marvel. Thanks for saving me money.

Wolverine dead? And say it ain't so... Hulk dead? Man, where have I been living? Hard to have a Marvel universe missing characters like that dead. I knew there was another reason not to read moderns...

As much as I love these boards, sadly, they have pushed a lot of stuff well beyond my means. Very hard to find cool "un-discovered" stuff anymore. Good for the hobby but not so good for us collectors on a limited budget. Good thing I started collecting the off the radar stuff long ago. On the bright side, when I finally decide to sell...

Wasn't this the collection that Brian Peets of A-1 Comics found? If so, I probably have a bunch of them I bought direct from him scattered through my horror boxes...

Crown #4 ?

Frontline Combat 5

Flat  and  tight  enough,  but  there's  a  spot  of  glue  lower  spine, looks  to be  an  amateur  repair  to  a  split. .  Durned  Sixties  kids...

Fair  amount  of  general  wear,   bit of light  soiling  BC, offwhite - white pages. 

Take it  for  $30

Is the soiling soiling, or foxing?

My  Love 4 

Here it is, the  great Bettie  Page   cover.  Needs  a  good  professional  press  to  knock  down  those  wavy  bits,
otherwise  a  solid  book. General  wear,   light stains  and  a pencil  name  on  page 3, light  water  lower  LH  BC
Tight  with  white  pages

I'm asking  an aggressive price,   how often  do  you  see a  copy?

$125  takes it

 

I’ll take it via PM thanks Rick!
