Just saw that 4 of my better consigned books  will be in the February Signature Auction

Special Edition 1  CGC 6.5

Seven Seas 1 Big Apple  CGC 8.5

New Book of Comics 2  CGC 5.5

Uncle SAm Quarterly 1  CGC 7.5

These books have not been up for sale for nearly 20 years

Does ebay still have there one day "sales"?  I have not neard of one in a while

as I approach retirement trying to downsize my real collection, not just the old dealer stock.

took about 100 books to meet with ed jaster of heritage.  main book is a special edition 1 which I hope got a nice bump from the movie.

 silver marvels include whatever i had of the first 100 hulks and Captain America's.  

I also cleaned out my silver age Aquaman 

they sent off books like hulk 181 and cap 100 for grading while the lesser books will be in upcoming weekly in December.

they sent me links to those auctions but they are blank so I will post them when they are populated

hope these make a dent in my home remodel projects 

Waiting for someone to post a pic of their ultra high  grade Major Inapak Space Ace 

I just did my first consignment with heritage last weekend.  met with ed jaster who I had bought from off ebay and at SDCC.  I am working through Aaron and hopefully we can develop a good relationship 

I sprung loose the scans of many of the marvel books I am consigning to Heritage.

not sure if I ever posted these Hulks previously

not sure if my consignment will make it but I gave them a nice copy of Special Edition #1

I recently decided to cull my collecting habits and sell off a few sections.  of my collection via heritage

hulk was the biggest cash out with low grade copies of 2 3 5 and 6

many of the first 100 including nice copies of 101 and 181. 

I would post pics but so many of scans are held hostage by photobucket.  

I recall that some auction site permitted  their employees  to bid on lots

Which one/ones  allow that?

can you put reserves on heritage auctions?   alternately can you bid on your on auctions?

My experience is that Mycomicshop.com  is the harshest grader,  which is good for the buyer, but less so for the seller/consignor 

That is what I thought

Was getting ready to bring a box down to Beverly hills  and presented me with a contract that says  15% sellers.

I questioned them and was told  "it has ALWAYS BEEN 15% Sellers" except on certain high dollar books

What is the normal initial sellers premium with Heritage?

Here are the last 2 from Bedrock.

Both are slabbed file copies which I added to my registry set

Scanning and re-bagging the the books that I got fro the PRE SDCC  Torpedo  show in Los Angeles

Also just got in my latest trade with mycomicshop.com.  Essentially traded 13 long boxes of books  for 13 books.

All of these transactions are added to  my various tracking methods.

Attached is the spreadsheet I developed to attempt to have all the information for both series contained on 1 double sided page.  I have modified this many time over the decade to track counts by 100's and ending digits  and have noted BOLD for higher grade keepers and italics for books that I would like upgrades for.

Well, Heritage is currently having a sale  and not charging the  seller's 10% on CGC books 

Thanks

You are no small part of me reaching this goal and are in 7th place on my trade list 

I think I have about 1/2 of the missing four colors.  Had no real idea about those until I read your research.  I have another  8 in my hold cart on mycomicshop.com

Here are a couple more from my trip down to Houston thanks to the long tall Texan.

I have been selling  through and trading with mycomicshop  for several years.

Actually planning on delovering a box with some of my better books to Heritage in Los Angeles  for auction in either their weekly  or their November catalog auction.

Hopefully I will net enough to pay for the used electric car I boought for my wife last month

Now that the first three phases of my year long home remodel project is finished I actually have access to my books again.

did transactions with Bedrock, Terry's  and Dave and Adam  at the Torpedo pre Comic Con show  and just pulled the trigger on another group from MyComicSHop.com.  With all of those I have pushed my collection to 1219 issues,  and virtually all of those from trading.  Must admit pickings in my available stock is getting a bit thin.

Can't remember when I last posted my Thank you list  which has grown to 10 pages with nearly 50 different Trading Partners but here is the most up to date listing

Wow  this thread had fallen all the way to page 7.  I took a trip to Houston to visit my mom who had relocated there last year.

Had the opportunity to visit Bedrock's store  and do a nice trade with him.  Had not really added anything to my collection in over a year.  

Nice to find a decent Andy Griffith which is a hard book to find in any shape.

Here are the ear;per issues pg Casper and the Ghostly Trio

I think these are all subscription copies,  but they are all OO issues that I have had for over 50 years

When looking to see which book this Australian comic reprinted, I discovered that it was Four Color #413 and #669. I assume that's because the movie was circulated again. Are there any other 'multiple' FCs?

I never realized that this was a reprint.  I was looking in the guide after I was this  and found there were a total of 5 full reprints *and a couple of partials) with this being one of the earliest

Oldest I saw was Snow White 382  which was a partial reprint  of 49 

Next Partial was 545 Pinocchio which was a partial reprint of #92

693 Song of the South was a partial reprint of 129

The best known full reprint is likely 668  which was the Dumbo  with a different background cover,, but the same number. 

682 Was a reprint of 505 Sword and the Rose, but with a different title

There was 966 Tonka which changed titles to Comanche with the reprint at 1350, the next to last Four Color

Then there was Donald in Mathmagic land which was 1051  and later 1198

1235 Mr Magoo was reprinted  in 1965 several years after the end of the series, but with the same same number.  Just a guess, but perhaps they were trying to cash in on the renewed popularity of Jim Backus after Gilligan's Isle.  I will have to check to see if I have the Original or reprint

Have a few of these scans handy,  but  not both versions of any at my fingertips

And a few more from Terry

Btw  is anyone here fighting over the TWIST  missing FC that Blissard has up for sale?  Way higher tham I would have thought, even for a high grade copy

I enjoy seeing a good Harvey cover, and actively collect the 3-D  books

along the way I picked up some nice Harveys that were part of there warehouse 

Some of these might contend for top of the census
