Just in from ebay.

That pic shows how nice the colors are.

But this one shows how much wear the cover has.

That's 3 of the Conan 30-centers down now.

Some books I've had and just now got to scanning...I don't see these mid 70s DCs often...I'm more than likely talking to myself at this point but enjoy anyway. Luis Dominguez goodness....

Not at all.

I may not post on the thread much, but I am always looking at the new eye candy posted here.

Really loving this thread.

One of these days I need to sit down and take some pics of some of the rare / cool / odd stuff in my collection.

Here is my long neglected first website.

http://www.geocities.com/tylisaari/conan.html

With scans of all my Conan book covers at the time.

And here is a model kit that I converted into a conan kit.

Depends on what part of Ohio you are in

Conneaut! Definitely a scary place!

 

Small world... my wife grew up in Kingsville, her grandparents lived in Conneaut!

Wow!

That is shocking.

Considering how small town we are around here.

The only thing horrifying around here is the job market (or lack there of)

Depends on what part of Ohio you are in

There are a few Marvel Teap-up covers also

36, 37, 93,

Daredevil

96, 130, 158,

Here's a BIG question though...I can't think of EVEN ONE MARVEL COVER DURING THE BRONZE AGE WHICH HAS SUPERNATURAL/HORROR ELEMENTS...CAN YOU?

I can think of a few, though I don't have any scans of them.

Defenders 32, 103, and 107

Xmen 149 sort of has that feel too.

I'd love to nab a Pence Edition of THE HUMAN FLY !

Chuck has a couple in VG listed.

http://www.milehighcomics.com/cgi-bin/backissue.cgi?action=list&title=41498790924&snumber=1

Numbers 9 and 19

Still has the codeword sale going too HOLIDAY gets you 30% off.

A lot cheaper than buying on ebay from the UK and paying the exchange rate + the shipping costs

Congrats.

Here are some pics of the stuff I got from Mile High

Some Whitman's

Some Pence

Whitman and Pence

More Pence

Even more Pence

Nothing earthshattering, but I am happy about it

Just got a nice score on ebay last night

http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?from=R40&satitle=330058298210

Some nice foreign books.

Also got a nice package from Mile High/

Bunch of pence and 'fat diamond' books.

I know a lot of you guys here don't like Chuck and his grading, but for mid to low grade stuff, I think he actually undergrades.

And where else can I grab 20 comics (14 of which are variants) + 2 Savage Sword mags and get it shipped to my door for less than $25.

Will try to take some pics tonight and get them posted.

If not, will probably be sometime this weekend.

A much more comprehensive list.

Speaking of foreign comics. Anyone know if the Pence copies had variant prices in the explsion price tags. I notice the price goes from 10 back down to 8 then up to 9 but that could just be from currency variation. This was during the 25 cents to 30 cent increase.

Didn't see a reply to this one.

Were there any variants among the Pence copies?

I have still got about 60-70 different issues of these 35 cent copies and I was hoping on new buyers or more interest. I was figuring some of these folks I didnt recognize were the ones driving up the price. Dont get me wrong, these are neat books and anyone can lok at the CGC census and see that they are obviously very rare. The law of Large numbers will tell you that, or the lack of the large numbers. I still cant figure why the Star Wars 1 is so much more expensive. There are more copies of that book offered than any other variant or so it seems. I am still a novice at this and really shouldnt even try to venture an opinion. I was just lucky to be at the right place/right time to get the variants I have.

 

As said before, the Star Wars books have the "cross-over collectiblity factor" with the movie fanatics that most of the other variants don't. At least, that's the way I see it.

Plus that particular variant has been in listings for years. So it is more well known.

First I ever heard of price variants was when Mile High started listing that SW #1 variant for stupid money. That just kept going higher and higher.

Still too expensive for me to get into the 35 cent game.

But I did score another 30 center!

Conan 64

Nope. The movie was released in the late '80s to very early '90s.

How about

Redneck Zombies (1987) (V)

Or you could try this database

This it?

I asked a few freinds that are movie buffs.

Will let you know when they get back to me.

You can see some spine stress in this pic.

It is the small little creases that branch from the spine.

Those frankenstein covers reminded me of some other stuff I have

The last one isn't really horror in ths strictest sense, but it came with the other 2.

Got them all in a lot on ebay along with a nice Conan #7 Star Wars #1 and a few others for a whopping $15 after shipping costs were added in.

Here is my copy of COD #4

I'll have to scan my copy of COD 4 to add to the fun.

Probably have it up tonight.

#1 - The first rule of Price Variant Club is, you do not talk about Price Variant Club.

#2 - The second rule of Price Variant Club is, you DO NOT talk about Price Variant Club.

#3 - If someone says that's one of the last five I need and pleads, you let him have it.

#4 - Nobody ends auctions early.

#5 - No flaming other members of Price Variant Club because they got the Ringo Kid 28 and you didn't.

#6 - Do not alert members of Price Variant Club for hidden variants. Let them find their own damn variants.

#7 - 35 cent variant collectors are insane.

#8 - If you found a variant through Price Variant Club, you have to find another one.

 

See rule #7. Yikes.

Not all of us.

Then again, I don't have any of those yet, just looking for some right now.
