  1. Ogling a blonde on a stage to ogling blonde head in a case.
  2. There's been a couple of times were I've quit Spider-Man for a few years and this was one of them. Nope, nuh-uh, not going along with it.
  3. Was W.T. Grants a Five and Dime? There was a Grants Five and Dime in the town I grew up in and it was the only place to find Gold Key. This was in the early to mid-70s. The Circle K carried mainly Marvels with a couple of DC mainstays like Superman. The TG&Y carried Star Trek even after it quit publishing. I could go in there as late as 1978 and find early issues. The College book store carried Marvels and DCs. They also had 1000s of back issues; mainly early Marvel Westerns. I've always wondered what happened to them.
  4. They both look like great copies!
  5. Triple planets to planets are breeding like rabbits!
  6. I had a meeting or I would have tried to outdraw you on that one.
  7. Whoo! New kid for the cool dad! Congratulations!
  8. I wanted to collect 9.0s and up but the prices for early Four Color Barks have largely recovered, from their lows in the early 2000s, in the high grades. I am finding that I am quite happy with 7.0 through 8.0s for the most part.
  9. Not my book and if you Google you can find dozens of others at lower grades.
  10. The offer was truly jaw dropping and I had the book halfway in the box before my wife said, "No!" Fortunately, I had told the perspective buyer that I had to get my wife's permission to sell so he was disappointed but I did not have to renege on a deal. She is special and I feel blessed everyday to have married her.
  11. Fantastic story! Nice to know a second major collection helped launch a comic book empire.
