Go to mycomicshop.com and click the sell my comics tab. They have just about every book known to man listed in many grades. List a couple hundred books, print the list, erase and start on the next box.

You should check out Skynyrd when they play the beach. It's a pretty hot show.

Let us not forget he is a loyal eight year member of CGC.

Post deleted. It's not worth it.

Just buy multiple copies.

As CGC doesn't allow people to praise it's competition, allowing them to be bashed isn't very classy.

Sterenko is great. Just seems like a total class act. How Hollywood never grabbed him for mob movies is an injustice.

Both GroupOn and Living Social have $14 daily tickets on sale right now.

I have hundreds of slabs I have bought for $10 or less. Most of the books were liberated and the cases used for high value books. IMO, Slabbing adds nothing to a books value.

The bar is set pretty low.

I've only read the GA origin story. As a kid, I'd run into an occasional Spectre story. One that I barely remember had him growing big enough to keep two worlds from merging. I loved the 1970s Adventure run when I bought them off the stands but don't think they held up all that well.

Spectre has a sidekick?

Liquidating all the stuff over a short period would drive down the prices. Donate it and an " expert" gives you an appraisal.

Perhaps I am mistaken, but isn't Geppi millions of dollars in debt to hundreds if not thousands of people and vendors? Geppi gets a nice write off and the people get screwed again.

How do you know someone hasn't already done this with your slabs?

A short box of TPBs weighs much more than a similar box of comics.

I'm thinking you'll get about 30 TPBs per short box. By the way, Comic Drawer boxes are smaller than regular boxes.

Yes that is it. My Dad knew I loved Mandrake and somehow read me the story as if this guy was the hero.

The package came today. I may have made more out of this then it was really worth. I honestly don't remember much about the comic. I was pretty sure it was an Archie for 1965-66 and other than that it was a blank. So I open the envelope to find another envelope, and open that to find the book wrapped in a plastic grocery bag and wrapped with about a pound of tape. I get thru all of that and open the bag to find a 1974 Batman comic. Now I may be off a year or so, it may have been as late as 1967 but it most certainly wasn't 1974 and it wasn't a Batman book. Not only is my original book still lost, but now I have a mystery of why my Aunt put aside a comic for me many years ago.

Was camping out at Montauk Point one year and when I unrolled my air mattress ,I discovered it was missing the cap for the air tube. I couldn't find anything to plug it properly so for two nites I slept on the ground. Been in worse situations but none recently. That Saturday, we swung by the Southampton Town dump and within two minutes I found a discarded air mattress with just the cap I needed. Saved the trip.

I have not been to a dump in years, but they used to encourage people to come window shopping.

Congrats on a tough set. To answer a few questions-Comics were getting edged off the newsstands by magazines costing twice as much. Why sell a twenty cent comic when you can sell a dollar magazine or paperback. Marvel came out with these as an alternative to DCs 100 page books. There were supposed to be two lines, a 52 page line for .35 cents and a 68 page line for .50 cents. The plan changed after a couple of .35 cent books were published. DC raised their prices to .60 cents and they contained mostly reprints, where Marvel went .50 cents with more original stories. Then they published some all reprint books after promising new material in the Giant Size line. Between paper shortages, WIN, rotating editors and the copious amounts of drugs being consumed, we were lucky to get what we did. I bought most of the books that featured heroes I liked, but skipped the Daredevil and Power Man ones- all reprints. I got real excited when I saw GS Super Stars #1, with a new Hulk-Thing fight, and even more excited whn I read the plans they revealed inside. Sadly, they changed and not for the better.

Perhaps they wanted to be faithful to Kiplings original.

The 1970s era reprints DC published are much bigger than the originals.

Interesting case on JJ this week that I think people should be aware of. A woman made custom jewelry and gave a couple thousand dollars of it to a shop on consignment. The shop lost its lease and moved to anther location. Somewhere along the move, the woman's stuff disappeared and she wants the shop owner to compensate her. A pretty open and closed case, I thought, but Judge Judy said the shop wasn't responsible. That even when an item is on consignment, you should maintain insurance on it. If I have a book on consignment with Glorious George and it disappears, is stolen ,is damaged or is eaten by The Almighty Spaghetti Monster, I think he is responsible, not my insurance company.
