Great action cover...

One of only 3...

Apparently the only graded copy...

Ok, so I decided to take a few pics tonight. Lemme know what you think...

I was just watching a few auctions end on ebay and I just watched this happen. The seller didn't mention the artist on the WR #12 and neither are in that good of shape, but still this was a bit surprising...

You may be right on that, I think the red and blue covers were that last 2 I got. Oh BTW..... KILLER group shot!

Sweet! CONTACT COMICS is an underrate run IMHO. They may not be as cool as the horror covers but I love the inks on Cole's older covers. Also in this category see: The Living Bible, Bingo Comics, Dime Comics, etc....

Nice lookin' Suspense #9! Took me a while to locate one of those.

No problem! I think I got the graded issue from a CC auction and picked up the rest from various places, but they are all in really nice shape. Just curious - which 2 have you rarely seen?

Nice old school label goodness! I know I got a bunch of my BB's here on the boards. And I KNOW I got a very nice run of Startling Terror Tales ages ago from drbanner himself. Thank you sir!

Nothing like a complete run!

And just because... (And dammit I know I have a #5 it's just out of place at the moment)

This is what happens when you forget to keep track of things....

I'm likely to part with 1 copy, guess which one (FYI, the colors are just as good on 1 as another, it's the light)...

How's mine?

Damn... I have been able to pick up a STT 11 (and a Suspense 8) and I only need 1 Cole BB (although, I've considered getting the 1 cover that's a Wolverton just to finish out the run). I may need a BB back when they were Cole books, but I think I'm good. Still looking for 1 Ghostly Weird book that BB changed into as well. Not to cover everything, I'd die happy with: - 1 more horror cover - 1 more sci-fi cover - 2 more romance books - 1 more adventure comic The rest that I'm wanting haven't felt the "Cole bump" nearly as much yet and aren't as classic. However.... I'm in no shortage in the meantime of spending my $ on craft beer until some of the above pops up! CHEERS!

Maybe it is a 3k book, but it'd be the first in that grade to go that high. Even with the odd shilling 1 bidder ups his own bid 2x, get's outbid by a 0 person and then wins? Still seems shady. Just a few months ago I got a BB #111 in ~5.0 ungraded for a lot less than this. I realize the differences, but still. Cole books have skyrocketed lately though. I'm sooooooooo close to getting all of my holes in Cole cover runs filled and I'm afraid there's a few I'll just never be able to get. A decade ago you could get romance books for $35-40 a piece, now you can tack an extra 0 on the end of that!

That is insane. I was tracking but didn't see the final hammer price. It started at $300! I'm not sure how much I trust this though. It looks like real bidders stopped around the $1k mark and then 1 person kept trying to go over a 0 feedback bidder. With what I've seen selling on Heritage I'd believe this could hit $1k but not much more than that. Thoughts???

I have an ungraded copy, somewhere in the same range but I'm pretty sure it doesn't have Mickey's signature.

Yeah, likely not. He does look like he's fighting for his alien woman tho. But you're right, it doesn't fit. You'll have to sell it to me....
