  1. I've been to Stadium and purchased comics there a few times. It's a nice shop. The best shop in the Detroit area these days is probably Big Ben's in Allen Park. Time Traveler's in Berkley has a lot of stuff and might be worth a look. If you get up to Flint, you might want to check out The Amazing Book-Store. Classic Movie and Comic Center was my first comic shop back in 1977 when it was still in Farmington. It was a great shop. I worked there from 1986-2005 and find it hard to believe that it has been gone for 15 years.
  2. I recently had a media mail package ship in California on a Thursday and then it was delivered to me in Michigan two days later on Saturday. That's incredibly fast for media mail. It was definitely an outlier, but I was amazed. I had a lot of packages suffer delays back in April/May, but they have been a lot better for me over the past 5-6 weeks.
  3. Three more Four Colors arrived in the mail. 126 more to go in Series II.
  4. Four Color #602 and 805 arrived today. I also have a copy of #207 (posted above by Marty) coming in the mail.
  5. There were two Archie Comics reprint series with that title in Australia in the 1950s. The first ran from about 1950-1955 and lasted 62 issues while the second ran from about 1956-1961 and lasted 59 issues, at least according to the information available at GCD and the ausreprints site. It appears that Archie #10 came out or was dated April 1957. Here's a link to the cover gallery. They don't have #10, but they do have #11 which seems to match the cover style. https://ausreprints.net/cover/series/4338/16973/2/200/50
  6. Paramount Animated #5 arrived recently. I just need #6 to complete the series now.
  7. This issue isn't high grade, but is good enough for me. Everything is complete and attached. I still need #1,2,4,9, and 20, but am getting closer to completing the first Casper series.
  8. I've got a friend of mine who has been looking for this issue for years in order to complete his Magazine Enterprises collection. He has every other comic that they published. I have a few issues of Robin Hood, The Brain, Tom-Tom plus a few others.
  9. Two new arrivals - Four Color #48 with Porky Pig and Four Color #71 with The Three Cabelleros
  10. This one arrived in the mail today. I'd almost given up hope after tracking went dark for three weeks, but it arrived safely. Some packages are seeing lots of delays with the current health crisis.
  11. Weather-Bird was a shoe store giveaway back in the 1950s. Here are the 16 issues from the set. A number of these were file copies.
  12. Reddy Goose was a shoe store giveaway back in the 1950s. Here are the 16 issues from the set.
  13. Poll Parrot was a shoe store giveaway back in the 1950s. Here are the 16 issues from the set.
  14. This one arrived in the mail today. Now I just need a copy of Batman #113 to have the series complete back to #99. I have a few earlier than that, but don't plan to actively pursue the series below #100.
  15. I'd probably trade a few rolls for a Batman #1 (first series). Sound good?
  16. I believe that this refers to Diamond customers and their invoices, not individual people.
  17. No, there are 122 copies of Archie 50 listed in the Census. There are 188 copies of Betty and Veronica 320 (146 regular and 42 Canadian). If you include all of the variants, there are over 500 copies of Afterlife with Archie #1 in the Census.
  18. I went to a small show and picked up three more Four Colors. I also have one on the way via ebay which will leave me with 136 left from Series II.
