  1. 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

  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. 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
  7. 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...
  8. 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
  9. .....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.
  10. 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
  11. 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
  12. 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.
  13. 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
  14. WOW, Miles....that's a keeper....what, a 9.2 maybe ? GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  15. Is that a hole in the bottom right of the FC? Near Mr. F's left arm? No hole ....must be a glitch in the pic. It's got it's share of feather creasing...FF 1 is very forgiving of defects. There's a one inch tear in the center of the back cover and a small piece off of the upper right corner. It seems to me that the Good spectrum is about the toughest range to nail down. This book would be hard to grade...I can see why it got a 1.8.....but I can also see why it could get a 2.5...a very tough book to grade.Here's a back cover scan....and thanks for all the comments, guys.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  16. I'm still getting a grip on this one....my favorite title for over 40 years, this is my first number one....from a nice "small scan" eBAY auction.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  17. I have to admit.....a 9.8 copy of FF 112 would have to be absolutely mind boggling. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  18. I've never seen a truly high grade 6 in person. Good luck on that one. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  19. Most of the FF's were gone when I got there....supposedly # 8- 12 were briefly on the wall.That was a drag to miss them.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  20. I was allowed 9 months to pay off my books....but a lot were gone when I got there.If you're lucky enough to find them for sale, they're excellent candidates for pressing as many of their defects are non color breaking curls and folds. The books I just posted belong to a friend as I sold mine a few years ago...the last was an FF 13 that goldust40 has now. I should have kept my TTA 31,44, JIM 70, 78, OAAW 128, MIS 75, and Superman 158, as they all would have pressed out at 9.4. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  21. A friend of mine owns a comic store....this elderly man comes in with an apple crate full of old Lone Rangers and Roy Rogers in real decent shape.My friend looks at the books and says he can't offer too much because he doesn't have many buyers for that type of stuff. The man proceeds to tell him he has a couple thousand more books stored in hat boxes and apple crates...and brings them in and leaves them with my buddy to assess....2 thousand books from 1955 to 1964....AF 15, JIM 83, ASM 1, TOS 39, TTA 27, and loads of D.C.'s too.The guy wanted to sell to pay off some medical bills and my buddy was honest with him, telling him they were very valuable. They then worked out a consignment deal. Quite a few sold to some local collectors, some at auction(HERITAGE), and then Chris Foss bought the rest....mini runs of everything you could think of. I bought close to 50 books , OAAW, Pre Hero Marvels, Supes, MIS, and a couple early FF's and ASM's. The books had PQ ranging from C/OW to White with FULL gloss.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
  22. He DOES have this little beauty from the RJ Long collection....an 8.5 or 9.0 .GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u
