Here is a rare one. The 1st Everett story on Mile High white pages.

Shame. Not a single Wolverine app. in the bunch. S

Beautiful covers! Great Pages! And I really love the spines! Hooray Ciorac!!!!!!! (You can tell Jungle spines from a mile away!) Those look like Wings spines. Look half-way down. Looks like a Wings 34 to me. What do you think? S

George??!!!?! Is that you? How have ya been? S

You sold it to me. I seemed to have overpaid a little. Can you please send me a refund for the excess over $75. Thanks, George Sorry. We don't sell comics. Must have us confused with somebody else.

That book look very similar to a copy I had sold last month for about $75.00 S

Nice 2nd printing of #29. What are these 2nd prints bringing these days? Of all the Famous First Editions, this one is the toughest. S

Picked up an nice run of unrestored Detectives recently. Unfortunately, no #27. Here is the #40: QUESTION: Why did Robin crawl out to the edge of the flagpole in the first place. What was he thinking? S

I don't think I have come to think of it. S

Picked up this unrestored book the other day: the hand vs. submarine cover. Also purchased a killer #5 which has just disappeared into a lucky collector's centaur collection.

Bag, Board, Grade and do Inventory??? COLLECTION? Isn't this the website for the Model Railroader's Collector's Society for Customized Creations??? Uh Oh... All this time I thought I was chatting with others who shared my passion for hand carving miniature comic books and painting them to order. Boy, am I embarrassed. I am truly embarrassed for you. We're together on that. S

That clinches it. Metropolis is getting rid of all our comic boxes. The books look better in stacks. May present some problems but I think it will be worth it. S

People, People. Go back to your homes. Move along. Nothing to see here. S

Very Impressive. S

Yes. The back cover is there. S

Years ago. I had a double cover #27. Both covers were beat up. No idea where the book is now. S

I will have to check my stash of Detective 35s to figure out which one to sell next. Restored or Unrestored? Stephen

Where did you get such lovely books? S

Looking to purchase high grade AF#15s and Spiderman #1s. If you got em, please PM me. Stephen

BH, not being a comic book dealer and relying on my experience only, I'd say AM22 is scarce. I suspect it's one of those books (like Fantastic 3) that is hoarded and just doesn't appear on the marketplace all that often. I used to own a VG+ and a buddy of mine has a Good (that he got from Metro). Other than Berk and CentaurMan, I don't know of any other collectors who have one (but I'm sure they're out there, come out come out wherever you are!). STEVE Hi ,Steve, I own a Amazing Man # 22 that I bought off of Harley some years ago , got lucky . he said it was scarce also . I also have a AMF Vol. 2 # 5 that I bought off of Ted van Liew . Great , Great books!! So I'm one of those collectors other then you guys that came out, wherever I am. I sold that AMF v2#5 to Ted Van Liew. S

ummm....I know!....did anyone notice that a #33 was missing from metro's inventory, too.... Yeah, it was an unrestored 5.5 Tec 33 which I believe was sold. I wonder how much it sold for. I hear they sold it for $100,000. That's the word on the street. S

ummm...$25K I also wanted to thank S. for taking a few minutes to talk to me about the 36 behind the scenes...I feel much better now! rick Definitely too rich for my blood. Besides I'm looking for an unrestored 4.0-5.0 Tec 36. coincidence, so am I ....but, I am confident one or more will make their way to the marketplace at some point in the future....and to be honest, the Cosmic A. copy that brian and I debated on who should go ahead and get, a few months ago, is pretty darn sweet... rick Yeah, that Cosmic A. books is sweet! Very nice pickup as I have almost picked it up, but I decided to go for a 31. I think we made some good decisions there. Darnit, so you're also looking for a mid-grade copy of tec 36!?! I don't want to go up against you again. Hopefully there would be at least 2 that will come up sometime soon. I thought that you were looking for any grade, even a higher graded unrestored. Besides, I'm also looking for a mid-grade unrestored 37, which I know you have a Tec 37 already.. So I don't have to compete against you Brian The Cosmic Aeroplane Det #36 may be nice, however, I hear that it has so much work done to it that it was actually the Cosmic Aeroplane Det #46 before it was restored.

Gee. I wonder what my unrestored VF copy of #36 is worth? S

that is not what Vin told me (and brian, I believe) via email...or I would have bought that copy moons ago....seems we have a breakdown somewhere? rick The book is not cleaned. Just looked at it a moment ago. The book has a microdot of ct at the bottom of the spine. Would make it into a blue holder with a note about the color touch. The label on the book mentions the tiny amount of color touch. I assume it mentioned it on the website. If Vin told you he thought it was cleaned, he was mistaken. I can tell it was not cleaned rather easily. S
