  1. One of my favorites. 4.5 sounds right.
  2. Beauties. I’ve got a bunch of very nice 1s that deserve slabbing. I’ll dig em up.
  3. I never met a dentist’s kid who was also a paperboy. Truthfully while I look back wistfully at those days you were lucky. Pulling 170 Sunday Dem Ocrat and Chronicle’s on an old wooden toboggan through 15 or so inches of snow sucked. Empire Comics on Mt. Hope in Rochester got all my paper route money.
  4. Those reds. Thank goodness the eclipse glasses were still handy.
  5. Those of us from the hyborian age would like a 10,000 years and older choice please.

    It’s colloquially known as a Swiss Miss.
  7. My grandfather got my bedroom for the summers so I got to sleep on a cot in the basement surrounded by my comics. Heaven.
  8. That Cindy is mine and she’s a beauty. Blue label for sure if that’s it.
  9. Those copies are purdy. My copy has obviously intentional damage.

    I would chalk it up to a non-paying bidder or two before I’d go to something more nefarious. Mostly because the seller has been around for a long time on eBay with thousands of positive transactions. I believe that the same company is related to Sparkle City which also sells on eBay.
  11. I read tons of comics as an almost infant in the early 70s. So that came first. After my first Overstreet I was hooked because old and new comics were everywhere and with a mostly keen eye I’ve been dollar cost averaging in and out for over 50 years. When they turn into tulips someday cest la vie. They will be cheaper and maybe I’ll start reading them again.
  12. Real comic men all sleep with their books.
  13. Seriously though, in defense of the price, it’s a cool Biro cover of a rarely seen book with a history. I hope I have one but doubt it, as I’d remember the cover.
  14. Can you imagine walking by a newsstand with 25 or so copies of Amazing Fantasy 15 at 10 cents a pop? Those ECs are great Marty.
