Yes, if you don't smoke them, you should take it up for this one! If you do, we should all send you some nice ones! Congrats

Added this today. Neat bonus to find it contains two house ads for First Love #13.

I guess I agree...added this one today! I'm tellin' ya....HOS 92 DT's.....added a third today.

Here's the one I saw DTA call a classic (found in a VT LCS)

Thank you!

Certainly iconic even if no one's labeling it classic! I also think #3 has a strong cover, IIRC.

That's what I was thinking of, thanks!

Cookie reminds me ... What about the Dizzy Dames covers? Any of that run a candidate?

Very cool; congrats

There's also a romance cover that DTA Collectibles markets as classic when they have it on offer. I have a copy; will shoot it later and post.

I don't know of any designations, but as nominations go, how about that one with the three monsters walking out of the graveyard?

That's it, these doggies are headed for the big round-up in the sky..

Not only that, the Zatanna cover brings those prices too! Haven't looked lately, but was shocked when I last did. For those who haven't read the secret origin of the JSA, it is one of my all-time personal collection keepers, possibly the best-written bronze tribute to the golden age! This stack is my childhood; GLWTS!

From hale to "hearty"

Final late-night, pre-dawn, dog-whizz

My goal is the hunt....chasing down the rumors, seeing what they really are, and bringing them home....You know the types out there; they come across comics, they have some knowledge of value, but they don't have the love we do. They find them as a matter of course in what they mainly do....house clean-out guys, storage unit auction hounds, retired tinkerers who hit all the yard and estate sales.... I've got two on my radar for months now, and finally seeing the goods and bringing them home is the goal....one guy (house clean-out) says he has about 20 books from the 40's, and a couple '60s, from years of doing his thing. I've already bought the SA X-Men he had, now I want to see the "old" stuff. He "thinks" there's a Green Hornet #1...he's always busy with his main gig, but sooner or later I'll see. Another is a retired guy who just likes amassing collectibles, now he's selling it all....says he has some "1940s-1950s" comics somewhere, Batman and Blackhawk, he recalls. I gotta see.... And the antique dealer I know who cannot find his Kirby page. (He's as much hoarder as dealer; he's frustrating to watch but I can see why he cannot find it). It's been more than two years. These long-term hunts are the highlights every year, some building for a few years. This past year, it was the original owner SA collection that the owner and I discussed on and off for a year. The year before it was the record dealer who had a stack of comics plunked on him on the way out the door from buying a record collection. It took months between his schedule of record shows, but eventually I got all his Timelys and a few other books from his haul. Lost out on the DC's except for a couple. That year there was also a few months' back and forth with a cult classic video store owner for his TTA27. I look forward to this year's hunts. From where I sit now, it's the house clean-out guy and the Kirby page guy and the retiree, but they may not all pan out, and others will crop up. Some will just be whispers, some will pan out. As Bruce Lee said, "Be like water, my friend."

If he takes you up on it, can I add @batman_fan 's undercopy of Batman 100 to my goals???

Like the majority here, I would not want to do it. If forced, it would be Cap 1. Then I would start again.

Ride on the "slay" to roll in the hay

Woo, doggies! Alright Pardners, it's Pink Floyd time in these parts; as in this is The Final Cut...the whole thread is still intact, 18 books plus a freebie book, now $85 shipped U.S. Now 'til tomorrow morning, then it's off to the antiques shop for these puppies. (Except the Cowboy Action and the Kid Colt; those covers probably go back in the boxes if they don't go here.) Move 'em out! Now $85 shipped U.S., all 19 books! (Forgot to add, yes you can still buy individual books, or make your own small stack or PM too)

Chesler file copy? Noticed that cover stamp; cool

NOW it all makes sense.....well, welcome home! Wertham warned you about comic books and juvenile delinquency
