I doubt Robert has ever had a return. GOD BLESS .... -jimbo(a friend jesus)

You were definitely "Johnny on the Spot" with the PC pedigree. That must have been an exciting few years. GOD BLESS ... -jimbo(a friend of jesus)

... the elephant in the room .... what benefit is there for an auction house to support a price researching tool that could suggest their bidders should bid less? Not much upside, especially with the profound oversaturation of auctions today. I'm out of comics for the most part, but I do still subscribe to GPA. GOD BLESS ... -jimbo(a friend of jesus)

Many, many record highs occur at Clink, especially in SA areas. GOD BLESS ... -jimbo(a friend of jesus)

Later is, at best, an illusion. Now is what's happening, yo. GOD BLESS ... -jimbo(a friend of jesus)

Also, we often forget that past performance doesn't guarantee future results, but why be a pesky buzz-kill? GOD BLESS ... -jimbo(a friend of jesus)

People should also accept that tier 2 and lesser titles that were published in the BA do not commonly occur in 9.8, and when the occasional example is released, a high price is not necessarily an outlier. Each comic is it's own market, there is no Funny Book Dow Jones, although extrapolations can still be made from sales data. GOD BLESS...

It wasn't so much GPA, which was a new thing then, but the realization by CLink, that the data represented many hours of hard work, and should not be free. That's what I heard... plus the selective option. GOD BLESS ... -jimbo(a friend of jesus)

... I paid 20 bucks for an FF 5 in very high grade at the same show, wiped out my whole wad. I had to sneak it in the house, as I was afraid my hindparts would have been roasted for spending a month of paper route money on ONE comic. There was also displayed at that show, the first Action 1 that I ever saw in person. The guy was trying to match @Mmehdy record sale of a year or so prior, pricing it at 1800. It was still unsold at the end of the show. You could buy a brand new Ford Mustang for that kind of coin back then. A 10 spot would get snacks and a movie for 4 people with enough left for a large combo Italian Pizza after the show. GOD BLESS ... -jimbo(a friend of jesus)

My best pal, Timmy Leaf, showed me his take from the BX back in '75, and pulled out 2 copies of GSX 1, exclaiming that this Cochran guy was going to be the next Adams, and that I should grab a couple. I passed. Now, before we start thinking that Timmy was some Guru of the unwashed masses, I DID have to talk him into buying his AF 15 in VG @ $30 at a show in the 70's. That, unfortunately, was not enough to qualify me for Guru-dom, as I never got an AF 15, because, as the song says, "Tomorrow Never Comes." GOD BLESS ... -jimbo(a friend of jesus)

Aye, mate, I believe her cup doth runneth over. GOD BLESS ... -jimbo(a friend of jesus)

That was uncommon. When Frazetta tried to retain artwork and only sell first printing rights, he was met with resistance for a while. This is a major reason why his output at E.C. was so thin. He began keeping art and rights when he became the "hot new" thing, and everyone wanted him. Like the old saying goes, "sometimes you get the meat, sometimes you get the bone." Print media illustrators were *ahem*, predominantly vegetarian... until Neal and the young Turks came along. GOD BLESS ... -jimbo(a friend of jesus)

Here's another Steele Savage that didn't break the Bank. His style was flexible, this one is more in the vein of Citadel Of Fear. GOD BLESS ... -jimbo(a friend of jesus)

With many of the Arkham House HC's going for low 3 figures and up, finding a cool PB printing is always a treat. GOD BLESS ... -jimbo(a friend of jesus)

oops, wrong thread.

Thought I'd bump these one last time with many new price reductions. GOD BLESS ... -jimbo(a friend of jesus)

I like any PB that features efforts that helped set cultural high (and low ...) points of different eras. Kind of like household words. GOD BLESS ... -jimbo(a friend of jesus)

Art, masquerading as Social relevance, masquerading as Science Fiction. I prefer this motorcycle cover to earlier printings, which rarely happens with me. GOD BLESS ... -jimbo(a friend of jesus)

Lying does seem to be part of the M.O. GOD BLESS ... -jimbo(a friend of jesus)

The kind you CAN take home to Mama. GOD BLESS ... -jimbo(a friend of jesus)

Those better Midwoods from that era are tough in any grade. That is one of my dirty dozen Midwoods ... GOD BLESS ... -jimbo(a friend of jesus)

Wow. Horizontal Secretary closed at nearly $400 ... and I want that one. Dayum. GOD BLESS ... -jimbo(a friend of jesus)

The original Eraser Head GOD BLESS ... jimbo(a friend of jesus)

The final three that I lacked on my first 1-150 run were #1, #12, and #28 ...Here's one of the last FF's that I still own. GOD BLESS ... -jimbo(a friend of jesus)

Who does these covers again? Very polished. GOD BLESS ... -jimbo(a friend of jesus)
