  1. Did anyone get anything from the Estate Sale? I tried like hell to get a painting or a cover re-creation, but constantly got outbid. Seriously, I felt like it was me vs. 1 other person on over a dozen listings. I drove up the price of 1 item from $350 to $700 before I gave up. I did end up with 2 cover proofs. 1 romance and 1 war cover. Captain Aero #23: http://www.comicconnect.com/bookDetail.php?id=373623 Top Love Stories #7: http://www.comicconnect.com/bookDetail.php?id=373284 Some of the cover proofs went through the roof too. Worth looking at the listings.
  2. I'm up to 60-70 Cole covers, and just grabbed this off of the GA sale boards today:
  3. I love those glass display cases , very nice !! Thanks guys! They are detolfs from Ikea. $55 + the light, which is ilke $5. The big corner one was much more though.
  4. Here's a link to an article about my room that was on CBR a little while ago: http://robot6.comicbookresources.com/2010/02/send-us-your-shelf-porn-57/ Complete w/ pics and links!
  5. Just picked up 2 Cole covers, and a Holiday Comics issue too. His funny animal ones aren't my favorite, but they are affordable - plus I didn't have any of those yet. I slowed down a bit after my Startling Terror Tales #10 (same one as above). I think I'm up to about 60-65 Cole books. I needs me some more romance covers!
  6. Just got in 15 Treasury Editions from THE_BEYONDER that are awesome! Everything was packed super safe, was as described, and I couldn't be happier. THANKS MAN!!!!!
  7. Another "gotta have it" classic cover! Send it to CGC by all means. Unless you plan on reading it again and again which is also but if you only got it for the cover then submit it! Thanks! I got it in from a guy who was selling a small GA collection that was his GRANDMOTHERS, not knowing what was he had, and this was in the stack. You don't wanna know what I paid.... let's just say I got a good deal on it. Oh, and I have read it. I had to at least once! The cover's still the best part, of course!
  8. I posted this in the "Spare a Grade?" forum, but I thought I'd share the love. I've actually had this book for a few years, but haven't posted it yet. I never really thought I'd actually own this comic, but I'm ecstatic that I do! I think it's at about a 5.0, give or take. I'll most likely send it off to CGC soon. Whadda think? (thumbs u
  9. Sweet book! I just popped this on ebay. That cover is just too cool, and the $ was right. I'm also paying attention to the FICTION HOUSE thread over on the sale board. I may give this one some company soon.
  10. Faaaaaaaar away... (For all pics and then some go to: http://s250.photobucket.com/albums/gg278/pmpknface/ ) And I just had to share this one too. This is in one of the living rooms: I have a lot more artwork up around the house, and lots more still to hang!
  11. And just to be complete... Top of the stairs (and the Kitty): The other corner of the room (there's 6+long boxes there you still can't see): Close up of the bookcase (and the Marvel digests on the floor): This is what is behind the cubes, well.... most of it anyway:
  12. Here are a few pics of my room. I've got a lot of statue pics, but I'll spare you most of them. Here we start at the 2nd floor before going up to the "comic attic." I've got another one of these bookshelves to put together. And then up to the COMIC BOOK ROOM!!! To the right: Closer: To the left:
  13. I just got in a lot of Inhumans / Black Widow Amazing Adverntures from FASTER FRIENDS and they looked great! Thanks again man! - Jamie
  14. Anyone have a scan of MASK #2? I wanted to show someone what it looks like and my copy is missing a piece of the lower left corner. I'm shocked that there isn't one posted here! On a happy note... This week I've picked up: - Mask 1 - True to LIfe Romances # 17 & #19! I was on a Cole "hold" for a while, but now I'm back baby!!!
  15. That TARGET cover is a classic! Congrats! I got mine in a solid FN from an early Vault auction. It took forever, but I scored the Wit and Wisdom cover about a year ago. It's an odd little book. I mainly have stayed away from the jungle covers because they seem to be 2x as much as some others. I much rather would have the horror and romance covers! I haven't purchased any in a while, as I've been buying a lot of statues, but I keep my eye open. I'd love to complete a SPOOK run, and I'm close to getting all the Startling Terror Tales. I just need the #11, and the Hyde cover (#10?)
  16. Thanks. I'm a HUGE fan of the romance books because - They are cheaper - there are more of them (it seems) - the stories in them are great! The TTL 13 is in good shape, except for some writing in the middle. The #14 is in great shape though! I love that one!
  17. Thanks! I used gmail's free photo-hosting deal. And I think those are maybe 1/3 of my Cole Covers. I'll try to get better pics up soon! Plus, I've gotten a few new ones lately.
  18. I just created this, so I hope it works. Here's a bunch of pics I took a while ago of LB Cole covers I own (and the 1 Wings Comic I own, #90). It's not all of them, just a sample. Lemme know if this works ok: http://picasaweb.google.com/pmpknface/LB_Cole_Covers Enjoy (I hope)! Maybe in the future I'll try to take ones that come out brighter.
  19. Hi! I've been good, and you? I've been chilling on buying new Cole covers, and trying to save a few pennies for SDCC this year! 1st time! Popular Teenagers #15 is a great one. I got my copy for $12 at WW Philly a few years ago. I LOVE the romance covers...
  20. Those pulps rock! Glad to hear you're still on the case CKB! I've now got a home PC, so if/when I get a scanner I'll load up some better pics of my Cole books. I can't seem to get good pics w/ the digital camera.
  21. I really like those HOLIDAY covers guys. One area I still don't have any LB Cole books is the funny animal covers. And that Blue Bolt 104 cover kicks butt!
  22. I just picked up a VG copy of SPOOK #24 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=002&item=120020148424&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1) for cheap and an FN copy of STARTLING TERROR TALES #13 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=002&item=120020148469&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1) for $100 shipped. The STT 13 is really nice! I've wanted that one for a while. I'd "like" to complete the STT run, but I need an 11. Gggggrr.........
