  1. Nice copy of a book that's pretty scarce in anything above a F/Vf.
  2. ooh, i can actually play in here; need to get the rest of them scanned...
  3. I wouldn't put much value on what anyone around here thinks about you, I don't. As soon as you have something they want at the right price all will be forgiven. butt-kisser I know, its so embarrassing. Nice to see you BTW. backatcha. so tempted to write "GFY" but will resist. but you know the old-timers are thinking it!!1!!
  4. Well, thats really a shame. Im sure if you knew me personally, you'd think otherwise I show 1 example of a great purchase and I am now a hated braggart lowballer. I suppose Ill have to find some way of living that down.... I wouldn't put much value on what anyone around here thinks about you, I don't.

  5. Fosworld's fake art isn't even all that convincing. The Fosworld eBay fake art looks exactly like what it is; a person with limited art ability trying to copy a master craftsman and falling short. The Fosworld eBay fake art auctions all have things in common with one another; unsure, squiggly lines denoting edges and outlines rather than the sure, clean strokes a professional would use; anatomical details which are obvious fakes to the trained eye and which are clearly made by a person copying what they see without knowing why it was drawn that way; wobbly, amateurish lettering which belies the hand of an amateur trying to mimic the style of a seasoned veteran, etc etc etc. I have no concerns explaining the above, as any and all future fake Fosworld eBay art auctions will have the same features untill Fosworld figures out how to draw like someone who is paid to do so. Clearly at this point the market understands the above as the Kirby FF fake Foswarld eBay art auction is currently at a fraction of what a real page would be going for
  6. Ms. Marvel #1 in 9.8 is now apparently a nine hundred dollar book. what in the name of T.M. Maple is goin' on around here
  7. Thanks, Steve! The guy I bought it from had a mini run of about 6 or 7 books from this title. All looked to be really nice, iirc
  8. this is the last book i've actually bought, nearly two years ago. my son is murder on the comic budget.
  9. I still have the book I posted back on page one. Still in the original slab (thumbs u
  10. Go strong or go home! Very nice. That Cap 1 is insane
  11. I've never seen that annual before. Is it a hardcover? This is from the UK, is it not? It looks like the same setup as the Marvel Annuals... Very sweet. Did not know they existed. (thumbs u
  12. Ten cent Charlton being discussed in a hot comics thread. I like it ! shhhhhh I don't have all I need yet! What next...people.going after my Tower and Archie Superhero titles? I eagerly await the U.N.D.E.R.S.E.A. Agent movie
  13. way to hijack the thread, 50s. if i thought you were doing it on purpose, i'd have given you a gold star for trolling. as it stands, it will merely serve as a template for future use
  14. No the guy had a lot of Silver Age Marvel and some DCs. I was #14 in line and one guy in front of me went in and just started grabbing books like crazy, where as I just took my time and picked out books for me and my budget Cool. Thanks for sharing. (thumbs u
  15. Cool find. Did you buy anything else? Since it was for charity, and all? There should have been 2 copies of that there. Did you only buy the one copy? Also is there any value in it? I picked it up and looked through it and didn't think much of it. Last time I was there I picked up a good 20 or so Birds of Prey comics written by Gail Simone 1st appearance of Hellboy, of sorts. A splash of a character named Hellboy by Mignola. So yeah, something of value. Nice pickup there
  16. Those are sharp. Was the OO strictly an X-Men / JLA collector, or did someone else get to the books before you, or what? What's the story there, out of curiousity
  17. yeah, it's one of those "i know i have heard it before, and i'm pretty sure i know how it's used, but i'd probably better look it up just in case" type of words. plus, it fits this book - hell, the entire title - like a glove. a size too small, even. i bet The Captain didn't have to look it up though
  18. The insouciance, Captain! Can you not feel it?
  19. Yah he offered it to me privately via pm but my son had just been born and I didn't want him to become an orphan, given my wife's potential reaction to that purchase. I guess I should have made a thread about the first appearance of Mimic or Whirlwind or the Wrecker or some other supremely important character, given the overwhelming interest I find so far
  20. I got bored collecting Doom Patrol. Jeezly-Pete, I should hope so! I've been bored for almost eight years now, you'd think I'd be dead or something
  21. Clubs are for children. This is an Association of like-minded folk who realise that My Greatest Adventure 80 might just be the single greatest comic book of all time...or at the very least, just as worthy of a thread dedicated to the assembled images of copies procured throughout the years by people of a certain, shall we say high level of taste who can appreciate things which escape the notice of the average collector ***coughcoughmarvelzombiescoughcough*** as some of the other threads around here. Show them, and feel the waves of admiration, the burgeoning jealousy and what in all likelihood is a colossal amount of insouciance from those who have not yet seen the light! This book was a GPA low purchase at the time I bought it, which explains the giddy tone of this post somewhat; So? Who's next?
  22. I want to personally thank the person who bought the My Greatest Adventure 80 7.5w slab in the last comiclink auction. Twin Cities ped, sure, but holy mackerel at the hammer price. That's a nice ROI for the person who bought it in the original HA auction back in '11 You're welcome! I've had trouble finding the book (its been in my WTB thread for months). Its a tough key to find in HG, especially right now, and White pages to boot. On top of that, I had a few little books that sold in the auction that I didn't have much into so even at the price I paid, I was still happy to have it. And there was another person that bid it up to the same amount. But since that was my high bid first, mine stuck. I also picked up a lower graded copy a few months ago that's at CGC that I may use to offset the cost even more. If anyone has any other copies in higher grade, please PM me (or any other books in my WTB thread)! As a person with more than a vested interest in the title, I've noticed MGA 80 prices have been on the rise as of late so it's not as though you are an extreme outlier here (thumbs u
