Fantastic book JB. Please don't be shy about posting more.

I've posted these before, but what the heck:

I love that Superman #5 cover.

Wow, great books Mark.

Now that is a sweet looking 3.0.

Very nice books Doiby.

Great books 143ksk I especially like the cover on Jackpot #4.

Guys, keep those books coming. I love those early Batman Detective covers.

These are the only 2 GA Detective books I own:

It just goes to show you that 6.5 graded GA books can be a beautiful thing.

I don't think Wonder Woman stands a chance against the Hulk.

Wow, that's incredible.

jkrk, those are some great Timely covers.

So what's the oldest double cover book out there? The only one I own is an Action Comics #74 (6.5 exterior, 8.5 interior).

Nice books that I hadn't seen before.

a consummate rash, actually Or a severe case of hemoroids.

I volunteer Greggy.

Ian's lifelong goal achieving thread is about to get pulled.

She's one of the heirs to Pepsi. She may have had a little more access to money to complete her collection than I did. Is she a huge comic book fan that actually reads her books?

Can someone provide me a link to Christine's story. Since woman aren't generally huge comic collectors (no disrespect intended towards Joanna or other female forumites), I'm a little intrigued as to how and why she decided to attain every D.C. book.

Cool.

If DTA owned the book, then he's crazy for not selling it to Ian for a reasonable price. However, if he was only the consigner, then I fail to see how he's at fault. If the original owner was unhappy with the price DTA set, then he certainly had ample time to find another consigner or call Ian directly and offer the book at a lower price. I just can't see DTA ruining his reputation for a the 10% consigning fee for the difference between what Ian was offering and what the asking price was (probably around $800). For instance, if I consigened a vintage book I owned to Metro and basically told them how much I'm willing to sell it for within a given time (let's say six months). However, if Metro takes matters into their own hands and sets the books value at 2X what I was asking for, and the book sat there for months after multiple bids were made higher than my asking price....... I'd the furious. Therefore, I'd take the book back and find another, more reasonable consigner that can get my book sold at a good price and not worry about making an additional $500 in consigning fees. If DTA did do something like this and cost the original owner a lot of money, then that guy would be on these boards screaming his head off.

Plus, Ian's got many of the giveaway copies.

I thought you'd be in San Diego. With any luck this coming Sunday, one of the main UK newspapers is running a huge piece about the missing Doctor Who episodes. That's my next quest - to get the number missing below three figures. That's terrific Ian. Please provide us with a link to the story when it comes out. Not to sidetrack this thread, but what bothers me about the missing episodes is the multiple copies being made and shipped out to other countries. For instance, the show was playing in 12 different provinces in Canada, while some of the Arab countries had dubbed versions (which wouldn't be a problem if found since the English audios exist). I've also read that some Troughton episodes may exist as bootlegs that are being shown on the black market in Great Britain. Since BBC is unwilling to pay large sums for the return of these episodes (since they're their own property), I just don't see many people coming forward with this information. Even though the first episode of Crusade was found in New Zealand, I still feel that Canada is the way to go. Searching some of those old stations would be a start. Of course, you're the expert in this subject, so I'll just wish you good luck.
