  1. Called "scratchin" for a reason!
  2. I think this is my copy....
  3. I wonder if @Darwination still has his beautiful edit posted on his profile page. Maybe he can share it again in it's full glory?
  4. Well, hopefully you have all three (). But in the mean-time, I hope you have at least the two with differing contents. In my somewhat limited experience, the Mandrake interior is VERY difficult, but if it's been slabbed we'll never know.
  5. I can't imagine putting art from my PC in a shipping box... You've got too many irons in your fire.
  6. Okay, thick headed..... I meant THIS: Or THAT: I can see what's on the cover!!
  7. I had to say that out loud in a British accent to read that correctly. I suppose you'd have to write it "that's me-dad!" for us Yanks.
  8. I like that guy that pops in for a second top right... with the pizza slice out of his hair.
  9. I wonder why the labels don't note the "Blades Collection" on these. CGC used to have that notation...
  10. I anticipated a frontal assault...
  11. Martha's knees are pretty red. What's going on there?
  12. Not a fan of that label design.
  13. Is that the only instance of the King logo being two-tone? I don't recall ever having seen that.
  14. Split feelings. Some scarce low grade books went for entry level prices (if you want them all, you'll be upset later), and the higher prices achieved on some of the scarce-in-high-grade were amazing. The Pictorial Romance I still need was not in that auction. There was a low grade with some incredible reds that I thought sold too low, but I think I have two copies....
  15. New generation cases are quite tough. AND sealed on nearly every side. I smashed the label corner (farthest corner away from the book) with a hammer in order to get a wedge into the edge and pop the rest. The inside case can be tricky too. Industrial scissors can work or an exacto knife (if you use guides and don't slip).
  16. Is yours different from the GCD index? I wouldn't have guessed that particular issue. I don't think I made notes on mine before slabbing.
  17. Anyone here recognize this artist (the only example with a signature that I have):
  18. Oh... forgot to mention the excellent Barry material on the inside:
  19. Some ridiculously generous Boardie sent me a copy of that one... I love how you can see the print impression of the inside cover. They struck that page HARD. Flash.... A-HA!!!!

    Complete overload. Turning THAT off!
  21. Too small to encapsulate? Anyone got a picture of the slabbed "No 1" from that Action Comics #1?
