    "No shark was actually hurt in the rendering of this scene, and any relation to living or deceased comic book sharks is purely coincidental."

    So you're saying he used to be a hale and hearty hobbit before the One Book That Rules Them All corrupted him, and corrupted him completely?

    Ruthless, yes, though also being at the right places at the right times, and amassing most of his collection before the gigantic mushroom bubble of escalating prices came upon us. My guess is that even with pockets as deep as the maw of Mount Doom, such a collection would be near impossible to recreate.

    If you have no plan to sell it, at least anytime soon, I would say (1) no need to remove the restoration, and (2) take it out of the plastic slab and read the first Joker story to appear in Detective Comics!!! Then tuck into a 1-mil Mylar, and then tuck that into a 4-mil Mylar, and the book will look even nicer than inside the slab.

    Too many dust bunnies!

    Great looking book! Here's my universal grade 6.0 -- in some ways yours looks better, which just goes to show you that the grading ain't everything.

    I don't think I could get away bringing that one into the house. It's just a little too, well, a little too raw -- even though it is in a plastic slab.
  8. Zolnerowich
    Technically that means you would own a Wonderworld 8 at a grade of 18.8. That would be worth a pretty penny!

    Here's something interesting for all you pre-Robin Tec fans. I was perusing Comic Book Plus, looking at Jumbo Comics #1. September 1938. Here is page 1 of Peter Pupp, by none other than Bob Kane. Check out panel #7. Remind you of anything? I suppose self-swiping isn't such a fault...

    I thought CC said that you've now reached your lifetime quota of comic book purchases, thus "no soup for you!"

    Just flipped through the catalog. It's a freakin' history of comic books. Could qualify as "Gerber Guide Vol. 5." Though "Berk's Definitive Guide to the Comics" seems more appropriate.

    Let's hope (pray?) that this 36 year old attorney was able to bring his finest comic books with him through the pearly gates; just to be sure, maybe he should throw Pete a bone on the way in, such as a Fantastic 3.

    So I hope you charge by word count, not by minutes!
  14. Zolnerowich
    I have NO idea what that means, but I love it!!
  15. Zolnerowich
    That word play and spoonerism is deep! Do I detect some Cockney slang? e.g., I wish I had the sausage and mash for Fantastic #3.
  16. Zolnerowich
    Huh. Isn't snarky Vinnie that boy-man in Welcome Back Kotter?
  17. Zolnerowich
    That would be quite surprising. My (hopeful) guess is that the chaps in the UK got their catalogs quickly, as these were sent by FedEx. For the rest of us, the catalogs are arriving by 3rd-class mail. At least that's what I'm telling myself, as each day ticks by...
  18. Zolnerowich
    Ay, therein lies the cover rub.
  19. Zolnerowich
    True enough, but CC would just pass these costs onto the sellers and buyers. As buyer I'm a fan of the $0 buyer's premium. Besides, the only information you really need to know is that big bold number in the top left corner!
  20. Zolnerowich
    Well done. Nice book. Great price.
  21. Zolnerowich
    "Bought a few Church Fox books today." Now that's an understatement!!! What amazing books!!! As for me: Bought a few heads of un-pedigreed lettuce today.
  22. Zolnerowich
    Outstanding! Hard to find such strong reds and purples on this book. And I love the neon-pink leggings on the Volta Men!
  23. Zolnerowich
    No doubt about it. They have some spectacular books. Kelholt and sacentaur, if you're out there, what say you?
  24. Zolnerowich
    Interesting idea...though I could see the insults start to fly, beginning with the art director at Fiction House!

    No fair. Flex always wins 1st place in the Insanely Vibrant Planet Covers category.
