  1. Happy Day of Wonder (77th B-day that is) https://www.dccomics.com/blog/2018/10/19/day-of-wonder-celebrate-wonder-woman-this-sunday-october-21
  2. Minty Schomy Motorcycle Grail...!
  3. Sounds like they made a real mess of it? Restoration on, Restoration off, is what's left Leonardo? Story to me makes a good argument for just leaving the darn thing alone to begin with.
  4. Posted before.. and they are in my sig line but here they are freshly back from CGC.
  5. Been in a bit of a buying lull. Grabbed a couple of obscure #1's in decent condition. One with handwritten note inside.
  6. In fairness to CGC, the second attempt looks much better:
  7. I attended the Baltimore Con a few years back and brought books with me, made trade with Superworld. That was first Con for me since I used to attend what I guess were more like swap meets back in the late 70's. In those days, I always came in with and left with books so I just assumed that was what it was all about. Have to admit, between those days and now it's now more cos-play, and in the 70's I recall spending hours going through long boxes after long boxes of GA books. Today for sure GA is much lower percentage of what is going on. Anyway, for me bring books - that's part of the fun. Wife just came in and said, let's go. So guess I'll be milling around Sunday.
  8. Per norms, first or pm gets it. 14 day return for any reason - you pay return shipping in condition as originally shipped. Note, I'd rather sell to a boardie than on feeBay so if I'm out of line, pm me an offer. Payment via PayPal, thanks in advance. Shipping is included in price My Kudos Okajima Jumbo Comics #121 $220 shipped
  9. Don't see enough Treasure Chest posted lol! At first I thought the art was a bit whack on this cover, but with a little research found out "Here Comes Harmon" is about Wolverine Tom Harmon - and a wiki picture actually doesn't look too far off. Turns out the guy lived a gifted life: 1940 Heisman winner, survived two WWII plane downings earning a Purple Heart, married Hollywood hottie Elyse Knox and each of his three children did exceptionally well (one married Ricky Nelson), another is UCLA Bruin football star turned actor Mark Harmon (who himself is married to Pam Dawber).
  10. Super Magician v2n12 (2-24-44) "2K" on the Bay. With no reserve, another opportunity to gauge current market multiple https://www.ebay.com/itm/Super-Magician-V-2-12-1944-FN-5-5-Okajima-Collection-Jack-Binder/352461014253 Also, on our very own boards: Whiz Comics #58 "4-22-44" "4T" "CAMP 1"
  11. I presume the page quality is also embedded in the grade. Else the Down With Crime would be 4.5 apparent or something like that. That makes it really a "double whammy" (punch to gut and kick to groin).
  12. Happened to me. Paid up for long time want list book. Paged through it with no issues prior to submission (certainly turned pages with no "brittle" chipping or loss). Excitedly waited checking for grade online every day... Universal! ...2.5, okay.... whoops, uh... oh no! Got some Newton Rings as bonus.
  13. Season has begun - happy Sunday everyone! Don't know if anyone has noticed, but the True comics seem to come in a taller size, its maybe 1/2 inch longer - had to customize a special backing board. Good thing about the football covers, they tend to come at reasonable prices!
  14. Another marriage success. I've found with extreme patience, it is possible. It is also rewarding to bring together two lost, separate parts. However, I have to say I'm not really finding it "cheap." I'm coming to conclusion after a few of these its better to just outright pay for a complete low grader to start with.
  15. Perhaps I'm victim of the "Fallacy of One." And I'm not a buyer of this book at any price. But for me, presuming there was one auction that priced a book I like 10K over all prior sales, I'm simply not using the one sale to set the new market value.
