  1. Yes, very healthy. The market easily absorbed 82 Actions between #1 and #100 within 10 weeks. I got solid prices for the books too. I'll have to look into this "Action Comics" title. I probably shouldn't say this but, I have never owned a #48 Don't feel bad. I've never owned any issue prior to #28. I have never owned any issue prior to #33 you all have AMAZING collections, we just all collect in different ways, the difficult thing is, that if your buying issues under #24, you have 3 choices, buy low grade or restored, or if you want higher condition, you have to really pay up (a.ka. mannup!) ! Mike, I've owned 5 different Action #48s, and have sold them all over time except for my keeper, none were slabbed though, or I would have offered one to you. Jeff's 8.0 copy is da bomb, and I could kick myself for not manning up on the Mile High copy the last time it was up for auction and went for (only) $8k, as for issues under #24, I've had a 10, 17 (briefly), 19, 20, 21 (briefly), and 23. have sold all except for the #10, cuz I know once it's gone I won't be able to buy another,. all the ones I've sold, went into other or better books. love the hobby always buying and selling.

  3. great book Mike! first Lex and first Daily Planet, and is that Lois on the cover? we may never know. I miss my nice looking 2.0 copy.
  4. don't think I've ever seen that copy before. excellent looking copy for sure.
  5. Thanks George! Realizing I will never own a complete #1, I need #7, #8, #10, #13 and #21 and I will be set through #30 Thanks Alton! Can you post your #10 again? That's a great book. sure Mike, no problem. (thumbs u
  6. awesome book Mike! love seeing your progress. (thumbs u
  7. that is an awesome MOC VC Jawa. very nice Joseph.
  8. Thanks Brian, I really liked your Cobra Rattler pickup as well, I never had the Death Star playset as a child, so I haven't really been looking for any of those, but if I get lucky and find one, I will let you know. a local collectibles store today had just the top half of one. so you never know.
  9. thanks Joseph, I blame you for my re-kindled Star Wars vintage toy interest. well some of it anyway. your stuff is amazing. (thumbs u
  10. that's wonderful, I was the other kind of child, I lost parts and played rough with my toys, which is why I'm buying a few of them back now.
  11. a few pickups from Craigslist these past two weeks. the "Empire" Falcon and X-wing are both from the same original owner, who had them as a child and they are in almost unplayed with condition. no wear. the "Star Wars" Falcon is from a different seller, and the ship is also in very nice condition. parts are all there, just not put together. all 3 ships are very clean, complete, and working. both Falcon boxes are very nice, but the X-wing box does have moderate wear.
  12. Mike, that is one awesome book! very nice copy too.
  13. hey Joseph it's the correct blue lightsaber, but since it's translucent it appears darker against the orange card.
  14. been slowly acquiring some of the stuff I had as a kid. Was really excited to get a nice example of this one as it was one of my favorite toys as a kid. can't wait to get more.
  15. very easy to deal with, fast payment, and a great experience all around.
  16. perfect wrap and registration too. very nice Jeff. (thumbs u
  17. kudos to Mike for the deal he gave me on a sweet Batman #222. the book was packed better than I've ever seen for one book. and shipped fast as well. I will always buy from Mike without hesitation in the future.
