I sent them two Golden books in late February and they are listed for a Sunday auction on May 16th. With Comiclink they can recieve a book a day or two before the auction starts and it's in. I think CL pays up a lot quicker too. Either way as long as they pay.

This weekends auction put all the GA books on Sunday.

No not lke that. Look at the men on each cover. Same angle, arms forward heading toward the bad guys. That's all I meant.

Yeah that's a tough one to find. I wonder if anyone here has one of the 5 Blue's or 4 Purples.

Jumbo 11 is similar to MM2.

I see that now. He does look a little effeminate in that pose, rosey cheeks don't help either. But carrying an unconscious woman on one arm while firing what appears to be a Colt M1911 in the other makes him look masculine, so it all evens out. I'll never look at that cover again without thinking about what you said so thanks for that.

It would be a toss up between Elvis's and Stan Lee's Personal Tailor

As well as the real Charles Nicholas. I thought that too about Kirby after I read that first sentence, he did use that name I believe for the comic strip. Probably not but could be. Oh yeah robots, not quite Skull level popularity but somewhere in between Skull and Injury to the Eye level.

Yeah that is something how all but the Church are such low grades. You would think the 1st Blue Beetle cover would have been saved by more people. With the MM 2 & 3 I just was thinking with such a classic cover #3 over time would sell for more, like in the future. I know I want one.

Yeah under 2k for any early 5.0 Fox is a good deal. That was a real nice book. I noticed that too, MM2 selling for more than #3. I don't think thats gonna last but who knows.

Me too. An Action 23 it was. Have fun.

Oh great more competition. No, just kidding. Hi I'm Kevin. So what's next in the world of Golden Age for ya? You picked quite a nice one with that FF's.

Yeah someone had some high grade Challengers they parted with fer sure. They don't get much higher than those. They do have historical importance being I believe the forerunner to Fantastic Four and before Justice League and all. Many consider SC 4 to be the first Silver but an argument could be made for SC 6. Don't know why they would call it slowcase. Issue 4 and 22 were never slow, were they? Issue 30 is awesome. And the rest are 2nd tier characters so what could they expect. And what the heck does microsoft copy mean? From the collection of Bill Gates? If so I could see why they call it microsoft copy instead. Not exactly a well liked chap.

So the Cap 1 did hit 300. I didn't think it would after the comiclink sale. Here are a few that went high. Showcase 6 is kind of a historic book.

Oh you got that one. Good for you. Yeah a Blue in that grade would have cost you 10,000 more so you did alright.

I don't believe one will ever pull ahead of the other. They'll probably always sell for about the same. If 1's are selling a bit higher the past few sales that will even out. I agree with Clark, the 5.0 looked undergraded or at least strong for the grade. The little tears on the top probably brought it down but the rest looked real nice.

Why stop at 99? They went that far, might as well make it an even hundo. Unfortunalely I gave that book a second thought. That thought was I thought cgc had to witness the signature before thy slab it. I can't see all the dates but I see a lot which leads me to wonder how many times that book was cracked and reslabbed. On 3rd thought I don't care.

I hadn't seen that. Good.

Thanks for verifying that. The cgc label says Fine cover but I had my doubts. And yeah it looks nothing like the Simon covers of the following months.

Fine definitely did covers up until April 1940 for Wonderworld (12), Mystery Men (9), and Fantastic (5). Science 3 gets a little iffy to me because the aliens don't look like anything from any other of his covers. The womans face doesn't really look like other women's Fine drew either. I've heard some of the old artists use the term "Slick". If I understand the term correctly Science 3 looks slicker than pretty much every other Fine cover up until then. You can tell by the man that Weird 1 isn't Fine. None of it looks like Fine really other than maybe the lady. I'm not anywhere near an expert on Tuska (Fine either at that) and if they say Weird 1 is Tuska I'll believe it. Just aren't enough Tuska covers from back then to compare it to. The monster guy and the gorilla are just so unusual. The monster guy is a little Simon looking even.

Just sent these two to Heritage

Would you rather it be Green labeled or Conserved labeled? Personally I prefer conserved, especially if the Green has missing anything. It is confusing to me though. I'm looking at a book right now (not to buy), recently graded, that has only staples replaced and married cover that has a Purple label. I just bought but have yet to recieve a book that has only staples replaced and has a Conserved label. Between your book, and a great book by the way, and the other two I can't quite figure out their method.

Ok , but you've seen it already. Wish I had the Larson instead

I took what I thought was fair. The next day a 3.0 showed up on e bay with a married cover and no color touch., So in 9 days I'll find out if I sold to cheap or not. Gonna put the dough toward another early Action, Blue.

I just sold this AC 23. But I just got back from 2 post offices and nobody working today knew how to ship registered so technically I still have it.
