  1. An amazing day, Rick! (These three and the other four you posted as well) Congrats! May we ask, if it doesn't give anything away, reminded you they were where? On eBay? Some local joint in your area?
  2. Great thread, thank you! I agree with the slightly broader definition that adds the various early innovations (AA1, ST101 etc) along with the 10-12 established major keys and other pre-1965 keys. (Heck, I even consider Showcase 6 an honorary member!)
  3. I suspected as much! I would always rescue a book that's someone else's key too; makes for win-win deals down the road
  4. Definitely a bizarre one,which I like These early 50's DC's can be tough, and it was flat and clean and bright (plus bizarre!) what's not to love
  5. Just picked these up in a trade on Friday; leaning toward read and release program for them, as there's some things being dangled in front of me. Will read, and see if the danglies live up to their hype before deciding...
  6. Looks like you went three for three, Doc! They all look like beauts, congrats!
  7. Sure. On their website, you can request grader's note for free. You will need the number off your slab. You will have it via e-mail within three days.
  8. Good luck! Did you e-mail them for the grader's notes?
  9. Animals on a wall to brawl on the Great Wall of china
  10. Sad day...lotta great Marvel horror out of that pen too, in addition to everything else mentioned, correct?. RIP and thank you.
  11. Postage stamp-swindling girl to another crooked chick
  12. It certainly seems that scarce and rare get overused to the point of us wanting to gloss over them, and often rightfully so. I do think there's also the occasional exception of false commonality created by eBay listings on occasion, though. I'm thinking of Jughead's Folly, a 1957 one-shot, for example. Seems like no one wants it anymore, and there's maybe eight on eBay the last time I looked. But that might be about half of all of them. Of course, this is the exception rather than the rule, but I think some less popular older books may be truly scarce yet available in small handfuls at one time.
