I do adore that book! And Larson's the Man these days.

Mighty fine, Gino! Fox-y I might add. Love the new pick-ups!

Yes please. Or host a seminar at Bedrock City.

Simply fabulous! Love the mummy! And that momma!

Not that I would've cared back in ~1981, but where's the DC books?

For sure. Almost a spitting image of AF15.

I see why this book resonates with you: "the boy with the most comic books in America" -- my guess is you're at least a semi-finalist!

Yes indeed! Wonder if that guy with 6 bajillion copies of Fantastic #3 realizes that he should've actually been collecting #4 for the Samson vs. Robots story.

GORGEOUS!! Kinda reminds me of the "original" Star Wars garbage swamp scene.

Thanks Rick. In your uncanny way, you will probably have #1-73 in about 3 weeks!

I agree completely! And it ain't easy, those Rivets!

In line with the theme of "plan(et)astic" pairs of Berks, courtesy of Mssrs. Flex and Rick, here are my pair: Now just one shy of completing #1-10!

To Mr. and Mrs. Yak Yak's home? The one in the cul-de-syak?

OK Mr. Shot To Hell and Gone, how about a couple spoilers for those of us with nothing better to do than continue posting in this thread! Not all 51, and no buttons, just a few choice "eggs from Sqeggs"! Perhaps he should start a thread with that title...

Well put, Mr. Bedrock. In this Auction of auctions, "market value" was just an innocent bystander, and the Overstreet Guide wasn't even invited to the show.

Kinda my thought as well...

Yes. If that's what you call a scrap, what would be your main course?

That's just ew. You're absolutely correct of course. But still ew.

Many of us boardies have already expressed such heartfelt feelings about Mr. Jon Berk and the wonderful experience he has created for us these last few days. I would just like to add that this has been a truly dizzying and transcendent experience, one which I felt I've bonded over and shared with everyone on this thread. I've had a passion for comics starting at age 8, when I started buying Casper, Hot Stuff, and Richie Rich (not to be confused with at least 2 other Richards) from the comic book spinner rack at the local drugstore. Since then, I have slowly "devolved" in comic time, from Bronze to Silver and at last to Golden Age. One of my fondest recent memories was getting to meet Jon at the CC event in March, whereupon discussion of Jumbo Comics #10, he suddenly and earnestly adopted the posture of the hero on the cover, throwing the spear through the beast. I don't know if he remembers this moment, but I sure do, and won't forget it. Not that I can pretend to know him, really, but that gesture of his, so full of youth, charm, playfulness, and enthusiasm, I think probably sums up Jon quite well, and also captures his passion for the hobby. So let me also tip my hat and say: Thank You Jon! [Obviously many people talk about the 1995 Geppi/Diamond Vault opening, but for boardies who didn't have knowledge of or access to this event, and for boardies who were still in diapers or cramming for their college entrance exams, it is THE BERK AUCTION in my opinion that is the new capstone historical event for this wonderful hobby.]

Yowza!! There's something for everyone on that cover. Me, I'll go with the "Sensational Assistant". Though the monsters are pretty sensational too. Great book!!

Best of luck!

The Cobra!!!

So she wasn't bothered that you didn't get her the Church/Mile High copy?

Thanks @CrocHntr !! I first saw this piece in the Heritage auction archives about 5 years ago, and have always been drawn to it. The page sold for < $1,000 in 2005, I guess to Mr. Jon Berk. Let's just say I'm happy to have provided him with a very healthy return on this particular investment!

Hey lpsunburst -- what a great way to sweep up!!! I was hoping to do that more or less with the Planet rivets, but had to hold back, knowing that S for Science was following P for Planet...
