  1. Well since I decided to sell my Flash run because trying to continue picking up the "highest graded copies" became an uphill battle. FF's were the Marvel books I always enjoyed reading and have a complete run of readers from 1-60. I thought it might be "less expensive" to pickup 9.0 copies of that same run along with trying to collect 9.4's of The Atom on the DC side. Of course even picking up 9.0 are sometimes not so easy to. There are some nice 9.0 in the Heritage auction that I am looking at. Rube That 9.0 FF 13 they have is VERY tough in grade....the C/OW PQ might make it affordable. I would also try for the 18 in 9.0....another that NEVER turns up in that grade.I enjoy watching you put your run together....it's a tough one in 9.0....especially the # 3.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  2. Kudos to vtcomics for a very tightly graded Detective Comics 185....thanks ,Phil.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  3. Surprised greggy didn't with me, as this is the first DC I have bought in about 30 years Nah , I think The Greggy Meister reserves the .... ......for me ........ ..................................... I think greggy wants you to room with him in SD. I want the room next door GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  4. Sure do! They also stretch, flame and turn invisible. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  5. Just got outbid on Venus 18 on eBAY.....but for consolation I just got the Marvel Masterworks Atlas Sub-mariner volume....AWESOME....if you like Everett ...get it. That AIU 27 is cool....a WILLIAMSON story ? GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  6. Looks like you hit the jackpot on that one, Tom. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a fiend of jesus) (thumbs u
  7. Looking forward to seeing the 11...one of my favorite covers and ,as you know, one of THE toughest to find in grade in the whole run...probably only the first three are tougher.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  8. You really are putting these away ....love the 42. You gotta admit, for SA , the FF run in 9.0 or better isn't a simple task.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  9. I guess this is THE place to point out the extremely strong FF run that is stacking up for the November Signature auction...one of the nicest I've seen in a while. That FF 50 in CGC 9.4 should prove "veddy interesting". I wouldn't be surprised to see it hit 10 K. The Curator TTA 44 in CGC 9.4 is another one to watch.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  10. KUOS to : subliminal goldust40 loboagain designertoast capt comics mutantmanatee ....GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  11. Anybody win those cool Venus bound volumes on the last CC auction ? GOD BLESS.... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  12. NICE.....FF 35 was my first early FF ...and one of my favorites. My Mom brought it home from a Church Bazzaar that my young punk arse was too lazy to go to.She said there was a room full of comics ....GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  13. That book is deserving of Cassic Cover status....Atlas put out some real choice stuff after the Comics Code kicked in.I guess they were pulling out all the stops trying to stay in business.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  14. I can't wait to get that book....a phat hardcover packed full of Everett delights....bug eyed Atlanteans, Namora hotness, mad scientist gizmos,and gnarly sea monsters. Several stories I haven't even read yet....It may end up as my favorite of all the Masterworks. GOD BLESS.... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  15. Is that Maneely cross-hatching? Definitely not Maneely and most likely Burgos Ah. I see. I haven't seen a lot of Burgos work except in the occasion HT Strange Tales story and Maneely usually signed his name on covers. I've got a pre code Atlas with a Maneely story and a Burgos story and it's very difficult to tell the difference....you'd think it was two Maneelys.I'm not an expert , but Maneely seems to have a greater depth of facial expression and variety in face types.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  16. MAN that's a pretty book...GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  17. Cool story.....I can see why they gave it a 7.0...but i has to be one of the nicest 7.0's I've ever seen.Thanks for letting it go...hope it allowed you to get something awesome.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  18. Hey Buddy....long time no read.....how's it going ?GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  19. Just got this from Doug at www.pedigreecomics.com and it's NICE. It would grade a solid 8.0 if not for a rusty staple. I haven't owned a nice copy of this in a long time.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  20. Just in from Doug at www.pedigreecomics.com , thanks for giving me time to scrape up the cabbage. It's a good example of CGC'S tightened standards....looks like a solid 8.0 but a rusty staple brought it down....like a rusty staple should.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  21. Just got the run of Atlantis Chronicles from www.torpedocomics.com for around $ 20....here's # 7 with the 'TRUE' origin of Aquaman and some nudity panels to boot...according to Overstreet. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  22. They have provided me with a complete Alien Worlds run and a complete Atlantis Chronicles run ( Peter David and Esteban Moroto) for around $ 20 each.The books are all 9.0 or better.I haven't tried anything more substantial in the raw arena yet. I lost out on a nice slabbed JLA 19 ( cgc 9.0) for $200...BELOW guide...waited too long.They could very well turn into a MAJOR operation in a few years...they just need to step up their marketing a notch or two.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  23. It was already slabbed....and it was in some kind of cool mylar bag that fit the slab perfectly. I want to see if they have more.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  24. It came from www.torpedocomics.com with FREE shipping.It's got the best color I've seen yet...and I've owned two pedigree copies and an 8.5 whitepager. I've had some luck lately with CGC 7.5's....they seem to be tightening up on that grade.I put my 8.5 up for sale but the price is HIGH so I'll probably have it a while still. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  25. NICE....The art on those later Young Allies is sweet....any chance you'll post some interiors ? GOD BLESS... -jmbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
