The Little People is a tough book in high grade.  That was probably a good deal.

Maybe...  but tell me TURKEY SCRATCHINGS isn't the gem in that lot!  Love it!  Had one in my yard last week.

I wish I could afford a af15 asm 1 asm 2. Oldest I have is a whipped 3. But the others even low grade are so far from what I could afford.

I just sold a qualified #7 for not too much, and it only had that grade because it was trimmed.  I have a reasonable #16 that needs to make it into a sale thread one of these days too.  Affordable copies are out there!  

Hey @Straw-Man! Not sure if you posted these in this thread (yet) but i came across them in a box of Spideys so I thought I'd share!

Other Cole results from today's finishes...

Horrors did pretty well, but it's pretty high grade.  That Power #4 looks like a good deal.  

$10.2 on the classic spider cover.  Congrats to the STT #12 winner, that's a stellar book!

Taffy #2 stays as a big $ book.  But look at that TTLR #12!  Sweet love by the fireplace that's a big $ result!!!  Just found out about that one in the romance thread.  Man, I really am starting to think what grades on my copies would have been if I pressed 'em....

Cool.  I'm going through my MTU issues now and found one that had a letter from a Mr. Fred Hembeck!    I think it was in the 40-50's, didn't note which issue...  

MTU #100 is a must for Miller fan, as he does interior art. The backup is a Claremont / Byrne story with BP & Storm too. 1st Karma. 

101 has an ad for Miller on Dr. Strange too.

2 more, new b&b here at least! 1st Mockingbird too.

Digging thru my MTU box. Sorry for the crappy pics, bags are old too.

if you're gonna be geeky enuff to have a "every single s.a. spidey app." run, you need this.  i like it.

I got mine waaaaaaaaay back when.  I wasn't sure I'd ever get a shot at an ASM #1 so I figured I'd at least have that.  Mine is a solid 7.5 (not graded yet), and I recommend searching one out too!  

I think this is a decent place to share, "Double Indemnity" is on TCM tonight at 8pm.  Set your DVR's!

We've seen more Mask 2's than 1's the past year or so but I'm sure #1 would be/is doing just as well. Mask 2 and Punch 12, two unstoppable forces they seem to be. And they're doing it because of their overall coolness and without great big headlights like some book we all know.

I saw what the Punch #12 just got, as I don't have the history with that book like the Mask books, but it seemed to do just fine...

$23!!

Yea...  I also got what ended up being my Mask #1 CGC restored 1.8 for couch money.  This was over 20 years ago.

If you were trying to post the result of Wonder Woman #2 you accidentally posted Sensation #1 by mistake.

Sorry, first one I saw.  I tried!  Results are out there!

I missed the live portion. Anyone grab the ending price on the restored 8.0 Action 1 and also the Wonder Woman 2?

And for a cool 3/4 of a mil...

Nice catch, PH, I'm ready to call it a definite swipe/inspiration (not a mere trace or anything).  I like the Thrills and Chills worked into the northern lights back there, too.

I've got a couple of these polar bear/aurora borealis covers

 

 

P.S. Happy to see some Argosy around here, I feel like Argosy/All-Story and similar titles don't get much representation on the boards, maybe because the covers don't tend to be very sensational in nature (there are some in that category, though).

Very nice Charles Vess-like polar bear, wonderfully rendered....  above a hungry flock of gulls trying to pick at the most beautiful dead seal you ever saw.  The artist's sig looks like it was signed by 3 people.  Seriously, cool cover though!

Boy... those headlights are pointed right at ya, huh?
