Especially if it was based on that copy! Fantastic! I was thinking of a Contact 12 or a Captain Flight 11 (which over time still may happen) but since I had a Mask 1 which was also black I wanted to mix it up a bit so I went with a blue shirt. That's what made me thing of the ST 11, as then I'd have a RED one! I've got some time to figure it out. I won't be getting another shipment from my guy for a while. Maybe a Blue Bolt cover would work too....

Hey Vaultkeeper - if you want I can put you in touch with my guy. He also made me a MASK #1 shirt. Hey BB - Not bad... maybe next time I order one up I'll come up with a few options and put up a poll! I accept all input! If anyone's interested in a T just send me a PM and I'll pass along info.

A few updates, I got in that SHOCKING 50 and it's all it was cracked up to be. I didn't see any signs of resto. The pages are darker than I imagined for a book with colors that bright. I think it was likely stacked but un-bagged for a long period of time, and that's why the spine looks the way it does. And in other news, how do you like my new T-shirt? I know I don't own a copy of this one, but I hopefully will someday. Until then, this will have to do. I picked it because I figured the image would look good on a shirt. Maybe I'll do a Startling Terror Tales 11 next!

My lord this is all kinds of awesome!!!

Super fast payment! Hope to sell to again! Thanks a lot! - Jamie

Oh cool - thanks! Creat copy BTW! Here's my copy's back cover scan. I think the colors on mine look a bit better, but my back cover is a bit dirty. I bet it's likely a 7.0 at best, but I'll take it.

A lot of the cover proofs from LB Cole's estate sale are signed on the back. Nearly all of them actually. I scored a few when the sale first happened. From what I recall not many of the actual comics were signed. The cover proofs are great! They are HTF for most books, but if you get a good one the colors are often sharper than what was actually printed. Happy shopping!

Grabbed this one last night, Shocking Mystery Cases # 50. Seller had this as a VF / 8.0:

Great eye appeal on that book! Congrats!

It's been a while since I grabbed any LB Cole books, so I picked up this one last night: No that's not a Cole cover, but he did interiors! Plus that is a killer cover. I also always liked MANHUNT #4 and hope to get one of them someday. I already have a #7. I also grabbed this one off the sales boards: Nice headlights. It was an elusive one for me that I needed to fill in a hole in the BB run.

Yeah, but that's a nice pair to start with Adam! Hey guys - a friend of mine who is on the Alter Ego mailing list sent this to me so I thought I'd post it here. Here's a call for help from Roy Thomas: I know many of you guys have much nicer copies than I do (and scanners) so I thought maybe some of you would be willing to help Roy out. Or, at least pre-order AE #117!

Amazing pics guys! Love the displays!!!

Wow. That TT #13 is sharp! Congrats!

Thanks a lot guys! Just decide to pick up this one:

Thanks a lot! Now if I could just find that Cap'n Flight #9....

Thankfully, I only have the 1 cat. He did remain good long enough for me to take that pic. But he would never do that. After all... his name is Kirby!

I usually keep my posts in the LB Cole thread, but completing a 12-issue run from the 1940's deserves a cigar I think: And while I'm at it, tracking these 2 down took forever so I'll throw this in here as well.

Don't I know it! And here's the whole set! I never thought I could complete a 12-issue run from the 1940's, but here it is: Maybe I'll upgrade the #3 and #10 someday a bit. I'm just happy to own a #12, so that one I'm ok with. I've already upgraded the #8 and still have my undercopy. Of course knowing me I'll still rather aim to complete runs first, and I've started so many. For example I recently finished this 2 issue run, of which I posted the covers individually in this thread over time but this is the first time they got together: BTW - Nice pickups guys! That Suspense #8 is amazing. I just lost out on a #4 over the weekend. I'll get one eventually....

I totally love this cover! I've always love that Atomic logo, and I'm baffeled by WTF that machine is doing! Awesome pickup!

Thanks a lot guys! I was beginning to think I'd never spot another copy of this one. I think it's one of the - if not THE - toughest book in the run to find. I'll be sure to snap a pic of them all when it arrives, assuming I can keep my cat away from them all when I do it.

I usually don't go for GD copies of my LB Cole books, but I made an exception here. With this copy of CONTACT COMICS #5 I now have the complete run. I'll stay on the lookout for a better copy, but until then this will have to do. I looked on Heritage's archives and the best copy they've ever sold is a FN and that was only 1 of 2 copies ever (both ungraded). I'll take a pic of the whole set together once it arrives, but until then here it is:

The only book I got a Boston Supermegafest, True To Life Romances #20 for $30: But I also got a sig from Stan Lee, so I got that goin' for me!

Just pulled the trigger on 2 LB Cole covers that I'd been looking at for a bit. This one, Intimate Secrets Of Romance #2 doesn't come up often and this copy had been on ebay for a while. I don't like the crease, but now I'll own the 2-issue run and I'll keep an eye out for a better copy. In an effort to complete my Top Love run, I had to have this one. Seller says it's only a 2.0, but looks 10x better than that. For $20 and free shipping I'll take a chance. Here's my new Top Love Stories #12:

Mostly, yes. I've finished ASM, DD, and a ton of other shorter Marvel runs. I have every FF, Avengers, and X-men story, like in issue or Essential and all of those go very low. But in general I like having every issue of something, whatever it is. That's why I've got over 20,000 comics up in a room!

I get what I like. I get a bunch of the Spidey ones and the other random ones that I like if I can find them cheap. My LCS sells them pretty cheap so it's not that big of a deal.
