  1. Thank you for doing that, Mitch. I suspected they were the same fakes (and scammer) you had cited above.
  2. @artdealer @glendgold Were any of these four pics among those being sold on ebay by the guy from Saugerties? They were texted to my phone this afternoon by my friend from....wait for it....Saugerties, who has been offered these four pieces, with a similar backstory re: Kirby assistant. Mitch, if you get a call from a Chris in Saugerties, I suggested he reach out to you based on this thread and the seller's story that he shared.
  3. Thx BP...not gonna stop thinking about this now until I go dig mine out and check...
  4. Not sure if this is the OP's point exactly, but there are a lot of coverless GA on ebay now that get confusing at a glance because the pic with the repro cover looks good but the text/headline says coverless. Makes quick scanning a bit more difficult, but I am getting used to it. I get that its supposed to be a form of marketing to show that nice picture but I am now just blowing past them. I would rather see the coverless book in the first pic to understand its condition; the quality of the repro cover could be shown in a subsequent pic. But hey, maybe its working for the seller and I'm in the minority.
  5. That's it for the Flash Sales; I'll have lunch while you fine folks ruminate, maybe send PM's etc., then close it after lunch. Thank you to all lookers, lurkers, krappers and takers! Takers, I will get PM's to settle up out to you later, but I am hopeful of doing a Copper/Modern thread before Thanksgiving, so if that might interest you too, just let me know if you want to sit through that first and settle up after both.
  6. Awesome; sorry to be slow but I got hit up to make egg sandwiches!
  7. I'll try a search. I remember somebody did an auction, and eventually someone just grabbed it at the BIN anyway.

  9. Good point, Mike! So, earlier today I went into one of the local liquor stores and the guy offers me to sample Barrell Bourbon (100 bucks a bottle) and says it "blows Blanton's away" in complexity and smoothness. But at 105 proof I found the alcohol competing with an admittedly pleasant flavor. Nice, but hot, and definitely no Blanton's IMO. Yet the sales guy insisted on telling me the opposite was true... Waitaminit...you want a thread recrap! Ok, gimme an hour or so, once the house settles down....
  10. Did you search the boards too, Nick? A copy of that book transacted on here a year or so ago, so at least it gives you another reference point on a tough book. Good luck!
  11. That's everything for this thread. Boards are quiet tonight so I'll leave this open until Monday a.m. I am contemplating a Copper thread; for those who have cross-interest, I will combine shipping if I move ahead. I also have a full high-grade set of V for Vendetta in Copper at a shipped price; takes here could ride along with that. Thanks everyone!
  12. Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, the first Buck Rogers book, a 1933 Kellogg's radio premium. (No envelope) Story/art by Nowlan and Calkins, origin retold. VG, tape on spine. (WAS $125) NOW $100
