Trying not to repeat all the glorious green that’s already been posted. Six “P”s for St. Patty’s Day

I think you wanted the "Show Your Blue Covers" thread for this book!

I love those Avon Eeries. This one's exceptional. Such a look of resignation. I hope it worked out in the end!

Hey Gino, congrats man! I hope your mailman knows how much joy he brought you this week. Those are all some awesome looking books, and the Adventure and Zip both present way better than those funny numbers in the top left corner! And that photo of you on the piano bench -- priceless! But put on some socks!

Hey Jimjum - with all of those *ahems* I think you need a cough drop! This sale is hard to fathom (for me), except that there were clearly two (or more) bidders racing to the top of the Fortress. That makes it easy to fathom I guess, though I don't see what all the fuss is about this book. It isn't rare; there's 148 universal copies on the census, and human grading precision has an error range of at least +/- 0.5 grade on any given day. That said, I'm not a Superman kind of guy, so maybe I'm missing something very basic, but is Superman's Girlfriend Lois Lane #1 considered to be a classic/iconic/landmark/artist-awesome book that stirs the passions and generates creative time-payment plans? (Apologies to all you Superman friends out there.) That said, there are some books out there that I've paid unfathomable prices for... there's enough comic books in the Garden of Eden to tempt us all!

Love it! You da man!

+1. Better wrap for sure.

Ain't that the truth! They're always mixed up in some hare-brained scheme!

Great story! Thanks for sharing.

Yes, the book transcends mere mortal understanding.

Hey! What are Richy the Amazing Boy and Rang-A-Tang the Wonder Dog doing in a Fiction House magazine??

Yes, the 24 is pretty elusive; fewer on the census than many of the surrounding books in the run. Haha! I shall abide by the house rules, gentlemen. A group shot is imminent as soon as two books arrive from their weird adventures on other worlds.

I'd go with *great* colors. (And how about that guy's 5 o'clock shadow and hair wax -- pretty impressive!)

I like how you've followed this logic to its clear and inescapable conclusion. Best of luck!

I just wanted to echo all the wonderful things that have been said about John Verzyl. He was a larger than life character. I was fortunate to meet and speak with him several times at the Wizard World Chicago shows. His booth exuded fun and madness, and the scene at the Comic Heaven booth was more like a party than a retail event. He was always in tow with Nan, Rose, and little John, all wonderful warm-hearted people, and the laughing, hooting, and horsing around were non-stop. Free snacks abounded. He was also the epitome of a comic book collector. One year John agreed to a trade me his Hit Comics #3 (see my sig line) for two low-ish grade books (Green Lantern and All-Flash), not because he "needed" those books or thought he was getting a great deal out of the trade, but because he just liked the covers and loved comics, and maybe saw how much I wanted to own a Hit Comics cover by Lou Fine. Wouldn't it be great if little John, Nan, Rose, and the rest of John's entourage keep up this one-of-a-kind comic heaven on earth. Based on the beautiful testimonials here, there's no doubt that business would remain strong.

I like the pinks.

Imgur ain't so bad (for now at least). You can download your photos on Photo- -ucket onto your computer and then upload them to Imgur. Easy peasy.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks for the heads-up! Here's a few questions for you, Professor : So it sounds like the HP8300 doesn't come with software/drivers. Is this why VueScan software is needed? Do you happen to know if the HP8300 is compatible with Mac OS? Does it have a USB port for saving to a flashdrive/memory stick? If it broke, would HP fix it? If the HP8300 is a bust for whatever reason, do you have any knowledge of the Plustek A320?

Hi @GACollectibles, Did that Plustek A320 wide format CCD scanner work out well for scanning slabbed comics? Or did you find a different one? A lot of the scanners recently suggested on this thread are no longer available even on eBay... Thanks!

I’m happy to report I landed the #24, which presents well apart from a dust shadow. And so with one other book (still pending), that completes #1-30 for me!!

Great looking copy!!

I like the tattoo on her, hm, clavicle area.

Somebody wanted that book AT ALL COSTS.
