  1. Really nice books Straw-Man, David, and knightsofold! I don't get to play in the deep end of the pool so I live vicariously through you guys!
  2. I was following that one as well. I actually sold some nice books to fund the purchase. Very annoying. How nice was it? That's a bummer b/c I was watching that book to see what the final strike price was going to be. Absolutely love that cover... Here's the link: Cap-37. Hope that link works... The response that I received from the seller... Had an unexepected family medical emergency and am a bit overwhelmed with that right now to deal with the auction. Will try to relist the book in a few months. my apologies, - vaultkeeper777 I suppose it's possible, but when you're 8 days into a 10 day auction that's been bid up to $3850, there's not much to deal with other than shipping the book out to the winning bidder. yah I noticed it got pulled too. I thought he might have taken an absurd offer offline. Perhaps it will resurface. White pager 9.0 really nice. Jeff/Dave, where either of you going after it? I was. One of my top GA covers of all time. I suspect he did accept an off-eBay offer. I had my low-ball snipe all setup! I really wanted to see what this sold for.
  3. Those are both very cool but that #178 just pops!
  4. Another of the greats! Do you have copies of the missing pages? You know I remember seeing those once, I think, but I do not have copies. Can you, or anyone, post them? Thanks! They are in the CB Library hardcover (I think) and, iirc, in a standalone Gladstone reprint devoted to that issue. Don't have scans--or the books, for that matter!--handy. Splash Panel 1st page Published by Dell DD #26 Splash Panel 1st page Published by Gladstone in CBL Donald Duck Adventures #21 They are right behind my desk on a bookshelf. I knew the missing pages sounded familiar.
  5. Another of the greats! Do you have copies of the missing pages? You know I remember seeing those once, I think, but I do not have copies. Can you, or anyone, post them? Thanks! My copies are buried so I cannot post. We are remodeling and my best books (and copies of this) are buried in the back of a cabinet with boxes stacked in front. Wish I could get to them as I would like to post my copy of 26. Sorry. I would love to see them and your copy of 26 but I know how it is. My comics aren't buried by anything other than other comic boxes and I still have a hard time finding what I'm looking for!
  6. That is really nice! What is it from? This is an illustration Scarpa did specifically for endpapers of the italian edition of his collected works (a limited print run hardcover series which represented all his stories with critical commentary in black & white). The series had ugly covers (their graphic design, I mean, the illustrations were original Scarpa pieces). The books can be seen from this web search: https://www.google.it/search?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:it-IT:official&channel=s&hl=it&q=le+grandi+storie+di+romano+scarpa&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=WQ0yUd_0JoKetAaa1oHYDg&biw=1465&bih=735&sei=XQ0yUbiKK8XhtQbJtIGoCA This one is my favorite cover: done for the (enclosed) 1961 story "Mickey Mouse emperor of Calidornia", one of the finest Scarpa stories ever, and probably his most "american" as he deals with an ancestor of Mickey Mouse from which he apparently inherited the US state of "Calidornia" (the Disney version of California, where Mousetown and Duckburg are – and also Junkville, this was a Scarpa intuition). This is the INDUCKS page for the story: http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=I+TL++274-AP (unfortunately still unpublished in the USA). That "Trick or Treat" is nice for sure. If I find one cheap I’d love to have it. Of course I have somewhere the story in italian, but to me it’s an important key as it’s not only Barks, but the first Hazel witch, and also deals with Halloween that in the last years we have witnessed as a sort of "forced import festivity" here… Thanks again for posting this. It's great to see how healthy the Disney market is in other countries. I wish it was that vibrant here.

  8. This book seems to be really hard to find in high grade. This one is a lowly 7.0 but it was cheap and my horde continues to grow!
  9. That is really nice! What is it from?
  10. That is really cool! Thanks for posting it!
  11. Awesome building block! Congrats on your win!! Thanks! I am green with envy over your Groo set, by the way. I have every Groo ever published, I think.
