  1. KUDOS to ComicDoc ,the man with the cool Robert Frost sig line, for a blistering fast payment. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  2. No FF collection would be complete without it.....and the ad for ASM 1 and TOS 39 ....what a couple of months that was .GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  3. That book was a steal....I don't see how it could get any less than 8.5, with a real good shot at 9.0....such a cool book. Congrats. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  4. HEADS UP.....There are some real nice D.C. War just listed on Clink in the fine to very fine + range. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  5. It might help if you know how he looks :-) This is Darryl Darryl first started collecting comic books back in 1978; he had a small collection of about 500 comics, which he sold to a local shop in Leyton in late 1979. His interest in comics was subsequently re-kindled in 1988, after a visit to a comic shop in Manchester. By late 1989 Darryl had already accumulated several thousand issues. He also attended his first comic mart, as a dealer, at the Griffin Bar Hotel in Leeds, in September of 1989. Up until 1995, Darryl ran his business from a small warehouse in Pwllheli in Wales; he then moved to a larger warehouse situated in Chester, which enabled him to produce his first mail order catalogue. In 1998 he bought an even larger warehouse in Chester, from which he still runs his business to this day, also employing five full-time staff. Darryl, together with his wife Melloney, still attends various comic marts up and down the country, and also runs a very successful mail order business through the Silver Acre catalogue and this very website. The Silver Acre stock currently stands at around 900,000 comics. If Darryl is Welsh, there's probably not much hope in chaging him...as the Welsh have a reputation for being very obstinate. I can say this because I, too, am Welsh (and Dutch, and Cherokee, and God knows what else) GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  6. this book looks much nicer than a 7.5...must have interor tears or something? did you get the notes? It has a small piece missing at the top of the spine and about 1/4 " spine split/tear....the kind of defect that goes good in a slab. It's hard to see and the book looks great without it....glossy and flat. The dust shadow on the back is a lot less noticeable in person. One thing I like about SA D.C.'s is the way the cover stock stays so white. I guess I'm lucky that a book like this that I've ALWAYS loved is soft in today's market....I got it for half guide. Ben got it for a good price too...but he's into Spectre More Fun covers and wanted to free up the cash for those. I really couldn't afford it....but we're starting to get OT at work again and I couldn't resist at that price. It's the first copy I've ever owned....and I agree with Atlas and JohnT.....it's gotta be one of the best covers ever.....and if you look real close in the toll bridge lane directly below the words "slow down", you can see the Batmobile in line behind a Cadillac. I guess Batman and Robin were too busy doing something else to jump out and help GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  7. Just got this all the way from Hawaii....courtesy of senbi575. GOD BLESS... -jimbo( friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  8. KUDOS to senbi575 for a fabulous B&B 34 at a super price....quick ship and great packing. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  9. In the spirit of maintaining equilibrium in the universe, books of that magnitude should NEVER be kept in one location. It is very important that these comics be redistributed amongst your fellow board members....and quickly. Time is of the essence. I would be willing to relieve you of the burden of that 17, if that helps. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u P.S. Any chance of some interior pics from the # 16....I've never seen any.
  10. Kudos to Comichut, Tsimanga, Dikran, JZrarities, Comicdey, and Marvelcollector for smooth fast pay ....GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  11. The peer pressure will ultimately inspire you to acquire those missing beauties. WTTB and GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a fried of jesus) (thumbs u
  12. A a minor...perhaps contacting his father first may be more appropriate...maybe you guys could get Mark to do it in an official capacity. I always liked Cap and can't help but wonder what may have triggered this dramatic change in his nature. My 17 year old has a record and it's caused him a world of trouble...it would be nice if some positive intervention could help avoid that. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u If he is a minor, then why is he even permitted to be posting much less conduct business on these boards? I have been here three years and he has claimed to be 18 the entire time. Sorry....my mistake.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u No way. There were pictures of him and Borock from SD last year. He is like 16-17 now and was 13 or 14 when he started posting here. If that's the case...someone really needs to get his parents involved. This could be a sign of a much deeper issue that's causing him to act out...maybe even worse behavior can be nipped in the bud.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u

  15. And here is the equally well preserved back cover with Albert Dorne in all his posterity. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  16. I may have posted this one already...a real original owner beauty from the R.J. Long collection, and what a collection it was. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  17. Ditko inks on Kirby don' think I've ever seen a nice copy of that issue.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  18. I ship by the weekend following payment received...that's the best I can do. Since most of my purchases involve time payments it varies.I, too, agree that 30 days is extreme...but it certainly allows enough time to over ride almost any excuse. If I have purchased an item and even 3 weeks have gone by, I'm initiating a paypal dispute and cancelling my payment....then I will listen to excuses.To me it's about communication....I'm not an upper level income guy and I know how it is to be overextended. Just let someone know. 30 days is more than fair...it shouldn't be any longer than that. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  19. I absolutely agree Jon...30 days is a pretty horrendous effort to pay for a book or ship a book. But what I think the 30 days establishes is the "horrendous" threshold if you will, thus qualifying someone to be placed on probation...even more so if the person is non-communicative and/or brings a pain-in-the-azz attitude about it to the person on the other end of the transaction...
  20. What's not to like? Here's a shot of Robbie gettin' his drink on, which he actually does in the movie...and Anne of course.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  21. .....and don't forget the spanking. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u P.S. I'd choose the Bat 1 also but it's a tough choice.
  22. Planning on listing a few books in the assorted thread tommorrow. There is a lot of Werewolf by Night that look 9.2 at first glance but have a couple of non color breaking dimples to bring them down a bit...27,39,41, & 43....along with a 37 that has a very impacted lower left spine that would otherwise be 9.2. These will be sold as a lot. Also an FF 61 that has a couple VERY tiny chips in the top overhang....otherwise 9.0. There will also be a Brave and the Bold 85 in Fine condition. All books will be at a significant discount to guide. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  23. I decided to reduce the prices on most of these today....they were priced too aggressively. I'm not so good at pricing raw, and apologize for the confusion. Thanks to all who already looked.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a riend of jesus) (thumbs u
  24. Picked up some books at the local Richmond show and will be listing them either Monday night or Tuesday morning....Amazing Ghost Stories 14 & 15, Raggedy Ann and Andy 4, Adventures of the Fly 1 & 2, the 212 page Peter Pan Dell Giant, TTA 49, and TOS 45,46,49, and 50. The SA books are all fairly sharp. All books are unrestored raw. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u P.S. For the low to mid grade lovers there will be copies of JIM 84,85, and 89.
  25. Thanks Bill....if I sell it I may take your advice....never resubbed a book before. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
