  1. The books: A couple dozen mostly lower grade reruns/re-lists (maybe a couple new offerings) at low prices. I’ve enjoyed them; time to share them. 5 Simple Rules (Please, please read) 1st wins; tie/indeterminate goes to the thread. Payment is Check or Money Order (yeah, yeah I know I'm a dinosaur, troglodyte, luddite, mennonite, hermaphrodite etc. - I just don't have or want e-payments.) Shipping: USPS Priority between $8 (flip n ship mailer in a Legal Flat Rate Envelope) to $15 (Medium Priority Box) for raws. Don't be listy including the little one in my head. Returns: Raws; sure, just notify me within three days of receipt and get in back to me in the same shape on your dime. No returns on slabs. (Kudos thread linked under my avatar.)
  2. Correct, sir! Love, love that book since reading it off the racks new
  3. It is post ‘69! The early characters that did not get their own titles until the ‘68 expansion throw me sometimes, since the characters have been around much longer than their titles. I guess that IM Ann 1 is probably about 1971; will look later. Or keep sitting here and search it now….
  4. Off the top of my head, Cap 100 and Iron Man King-Size Special 1 (I think it’s a reprint, but a cool cover!) I will skim my Avengers run later; hard to believe he’s not all over it. Amazingly, I don’t think he met Spidey until DD 71, which is 1971! So you’re off the hook for ASM.
  5. Agreed Gino; that first story actually lives up to the cover.
  6. Not many people have seen the inside of this beauty, so I want to show page 8 from this ish. This splash by Don Rico could have been a contender for one of the greatest Hitler covers of them all.
  7. THAT is even cooler to know! Another great boardie doing something cool for someone in his life!
  8. Well done indeed, as you sir are a UFS Peanuts #1 coverless incomplete goes to @mikej61 A big thank you to you and all our bidders who competed for this piece of comics history! Thanks everyone for making it a fun thread and congrats to Mike
  9. I’m late to threadkrap, so let me at least have the decency to start the rumor that there will be gold later tonight and it will be off the charts awesome! (I actually have no clue what I’m talking about, but I thought it would be a good rumor to start!)
  10. Rockford in your collection to Rockford that used to be in your collection that is now in mine (thank you BP!) - I know I went outta order, but I couldn't resist
  11. OK, 12 hours to go and the top bid is $175... again, we are talking UFS Peanuts #1 (1953) coverless and incomplete (missing 1st 2 wraps), CF loose but present. A very low-grade copy of a tough and desirable book. For reference, a cgc 1.0 sold in 2018 on Heritage for $780, and a raw copy with bug chew, chips and splits sold in July on eBay for $832.) Lowest price available currently on eBay is a cgc .5 asking $1895 with 12 watchers.
  12. Ok, with just over 24 hours to go, it’s time for an action recap: @iggykoopa rockets his bid from $2 to $140, which prompts @mrwoogieman to drop in and munch a bag of peanuts (yeah, I know it’s a popcorn bag, but I bet there’s peanuts in there!) Which brings us to our current high bid, as @Miamiknight3434 has taken us up to $175! Thank you to all bidders and contributors to this thread; I know Schulz’ creation holds a special place for many of us; I’m glad that this thread can be a celebration as well as an auction. Twenty twenty twenty-four hours to go…
  13. Thank you for sharing your copy Ed, and for a great description of this book! I still remember your journal post about landing this and a Mad #1 on the same trip. I still remember your line: “When the books you bring home are worth more than the car you drove there to pick them up in, it’s a good day.” (That might be a paraphrase but I know it’s close!)
  14. Thank you Don; sorry this book has made an Ahab of you, but like the white whale, it has vexed many a collector. When it came up for me, I kind of had a sinking feeling knowing I had to reel it in. It was a 2-hour detour en route to an annual trip with the guys, and it took a small stack of pretty nifty silver age to get it done.
