Should I have ice cream tonight?

Not counting errors and variants, just stuff of which there ain't many left, I've got nothing known to be ultra-rare, just some Gerber 7's. Star Spangled 18, Jughead's Folly, Contact 5, the latter of which I suspect may be scarcer than its GSI rating:

Robot to robot

Timely guillotines to Atlas guillotine

Evil to evil

Thank you! Detached centerfold keeps it in that range, but it's otherwise better.

Someone call for Nedor grails?

Now I owe it to the thread to get us more firmly back on center of topic. New Gods 7 continues to heat up, it seems. I also noticed Eternals 1 and 2 seeing more demand, though we are not talking the same price point as New Gods 7.

All good, Divad! Just giving you the backstory. It was odd to me when he suggested it because I did not see it coming. I could see how you get creepy our of it; I've had it so long I have to work to see it with fresh eyes.

shameless plus for my site - Atlas Archives Phil Apologies Phil; I love your site and should have plugged it. It's just that my mind was on resources that had not yet been mentioned. Besides your site, those two fanzine profiles are the only background reading of any substance that I know of.

That's creepy . . . Ya think? The book was just about to come out, and he was very excited. Of course, as a kid, I wanted to ask for The Thing, but he offered the Pope out of excitement for his project. I figured however many sketches he's done, this would end up being less common among his body of work. It's grown on me. Maybe because Joe Sinnott is just about the nicest human being on earth.

Enjoying this thread; thank you!

I from rats' tails to Witches Tales

It was a cool moment in Bronze history. I remember when these hit the racks. Close to a full set myself; need to track down two more issues of one of the War titles and a couple Vicki's (by far the hardest; these are actually Tower Comics' Tippy Teen stories recycled.) Both Comic Book Marketplace and Comic Book Artist dedicated an issue to them. CBM was #77.

Redhead to Red Rube

Mentioned this a few pages back in this thread, so I dug it out to share:

Loving this thread idea! I will read with an eye toward appropriate contributions.

'Zactly!

When I first saw a few genuine non-comics people occasionally use this term, it did not bother me. But it's on so many listings now, from long-time dealers and collectors ... c'mon, you sure as heck thought you could grade when you bought the damn thing, so offer your grade opinion when you sell! Who the heck thinks it's a guarantee and does not look at the pix and description??? Pictures, words, why you think it is in the grade range you think it is, disclosure of defects....these are the reasons I pull the trigger! "Professional grader" implies there's a governing body providing licensure upon passage of a test. I'm not aware of the governing body that administers the CPG (certified professional grader) exam. Yes I realize they probably mean third-party grading when they say this, but it is not the same thing...one exists, one does not.

Which one to who is

Finally, an actual image of Anthro #6 .... sorry it took me a bit to do!

Thanks! I hadn't noticed, then I looked up at the previous one in the thread, one of the two 9.4's, and thought huh? But after scrolling through a few fellow mortal copies I see what you mean with both the browns and greens. You see this variation with the green monster on FF#1 too. Reminds me of the range of variance on my favorite mid-60's Marvel cover color, that deep purplish hue on DD7, IM1, ST135, Shield 1, etc. Dark, glossy copies look like they are still wet off the press
