I was contemplating making a separate Sea Devils thread however I did a search and found this thread first. Just bought this on eBay yesterday and hope to get it by the end of the week. Very excited I love Russ Heaths style and compositions! Might as well start with the best Anyone interested in me starting a Sea Devils thread?

Picked all this stuff up at the Garden State Comic Fest in Morristown NJ the last 2 days!

Happy-happy , Joy -joy when a Boardie bumps this Thread! Great first one to start with. There are other Halloween covers in the run worth chasing too if that's one of your collecting focus'. 

Thanks! Yes would be nice to get some more Halloween issues but I'm just trying to get some good key issues as well. Just picked these up today!

Got my first LTMM issue today! Very happy with the condition given the age, and I love Halloween it's my favorite holiday haha

Just got this hard book in! Glad to have it!

Nice!  We've got some Four Color collectors on the boards and a thread devoted to them. May be worth checking out. 

Awesome! Do you happen to have the link to that thread? Would be interested to see all the fun stuff in there, thanks!

Mostly a Silver Age collector but got bit by the Gold bug lately and been wanting some more unique rarer items. Picked this up and was delivered today! Dell Four Color #468 (Goofy #1) Next to Mickey he was always my favorite Disney character. Happy to own it! Got a Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies #25 on the way as well!

Picked this up finally after going back and forth forever! Happy to own it now!

This thread intrigued me to read so I figured I'd chime in. I understand both arguements and would absolutely love to display my original comics. However, I just can't I don't feel the benefit is there. Posted below are 13x19 scans in my office at work and I proudly own all 4 of these Amazing Spider-Man issues with AMS #1 just recently acquired last week. I feel perfectly alright having these beauties displayed on the wall knowing that the originals are safe and I can always take them back out to look at anytime I want. As long as I know I own them and the prints remind me of what I own that's all I care about!

 I'm shootin' for it!  but when I say high grade, I mean 7.5-8.0 ha, if I save more than that the ASM 1 here I come  

Still high grade in my book! My psychological standard has always been 7.0 or higher so your good haha. I had to offset the cost of the ASM #1 with a GSX #1 6.5, ASM #101 8.0 and a Batman #232 6.5 otherwise I'd be out of luck. We all gotta do what we gotta do, still worth it to me!

SUWHEET!! I'm between this one and a high grade IH 181, when I can probably afford a high grade an IH 181 and not a ASM 1, you know that you've got a Winner Winner-Chicken Dinner  

CONGRATS!!

Thank you! Yes I never thought I'd be able to ever swing getting this either but I knew I needed to have it once I figure out a way!  

a high grade IH 181 is no slouch either! Great book! Hope you can get one of them!

Punch my ticket to club! Very happy to be in finally

Whats the grade of the AMS #1? Thanks

I experienced this last night with a person from New York Craiglist selling an Amazing Fantasy #15 CGC 3.5 for $3500.00. Naturally it seemed fishy but I had to investigate and see if it was legit. We texted back and forth and I said I would only buy the comic in person. He said he was out of town for his cousins graduation and would I like to set up a shipping method. Red Flag right there. I did some more digging and found that the images from his Craiglist listing were swiped from the last AF #15 CGC 3.5 that sold on ebay for around 14K. So that substantiated everything at that point. Always comes back to if its too good to be true it is lol.

Here is the scam artists listing:

And here is the ebay listing he swiped the pictures from:

The cert #'s are the same on both listings

Still a very underrated book I feel for being the Mr. Freeze prototype, I love this book. My 2nd copy!

Was at Zapp Comics in NJ this past Saturday (where I venture frequently) and they had their Free Comic Book Day 50 % sale! Got all these books for half off and the total only came to around $190.00! best bulk deal I've ever gotten on 20 books totally worth going to Zapp's Annual Sale. 

Just got these in!

Hey everyone! totally slipped my mind to introduce myself here earlier. Have a few post but still considered new! My name is Adam and I collect mostly Silver and Bronze Age Marvel/DC. However like many my tastes vary to whatever character I like or covers/stories I'm into regardless of publisher. I am a designer by trade so I've always had an appreciation/passion for drawing and the arts. I also love history and vintage comics encompasses all that into one . Just happy to be here and to contribute and to see every ones great collections, thanks!

Went to the East Coast Comic Con yesterday and picked up these 6! Wasn't expecting to get a Tec' 359 but 

Been getting into the Dinosaur covers of Star Spangled War Stories, picked up my first few yesterday! I'm going to attempt to get them all which may take a while (lol) nut anyways here are the 5 I picked up:

Just got this today! Very happy mid to upper grade copy!

Hey guys! Was thinking about getting this low issue PEP Comics but am not quite sure what it would grade due to the staining. Other than that the book is pretty nice! What does everyone think? Seller lists as a VF-,Thanks!
