Here are four more of my Atom comics:

Here are a couple of my Cheerios Br'er Rabbit comic booklets:

Space Adventures with Captain Atom are really tough to find in high grade. I have only these two and they're consequentally my most prized Steve Ditko covers:

But of course I'd like to fill out the run of these Captain Atom Space Adventures!

As a youngster, I was fascinated by this cover.

Oh that's a good one!

All this attention redheads are getting!

I just thumbed it quickly and chuckled at all the ads claiming “highest prices” paid (based on this guide) 

I love the ads though! Many are very well done. And for a tremendous rush of nostalgia, I start flipping through a pre-1980 (<#10) copy! 

My best Grodd covers:

And these cool Warner Bros. cards were free inside loaves of Wonder Bread in 1974:

Eleven cards from the thirty card set were DC Comics characters and nineteen were from Looney Tunes cartoons.

Moreover these double sided Warner Brothers Maze Puzzle cards issued with Wonder Bread in 1975 are over-the-top fabulous!

Six of the cards feature DC comic characters while fourteen feature Looney Tunes cartoon characters.

I love bread end labels and other bread premiums. Here are some of my Disney bread end labels from the 1950's:

Those who knew Bob or of Bob, knew him as a cantankerous sort and often stubborn, but a devoted comics fan and a historian ...albeit controversial... on the subject of comics for many years.... he's most known by legend especially to those who ran afoul of his passionate beliefs which he held onto like a junkyard dog.... His writings, while often contentious, were filled with information and well researched, even when he may have reached conclusions not agreed with by consensus.

Huh?! What was contentious or controversial about any of Bob's opinions/views regarding comics?

Its about the information, not the prices.

I agree. I've always used Overstreet as an info source. That's what made me an Overstreet fan. Plus I like Overstreet's definitions of "rare", "scarce" and what constitutes restoration.

It's way too big for me these days though. I'd like it better if it did not include any title that got it's start after 1990 or so.

Wow! Who drew that fabulous Blackhawk splash page?

Of course no con would be a con without the hardest working man in comics. He had the usual amazing stuff but just nothing for me this time.

Harley truly is! If there's no big show anywhere in North America some weekend and he's not in Europe or Australia, he'll set up at a small local show in Michigan, Ohio or southern Ontario!

Five more of my Action Comics:

A couple more:

To one purple clad superhero:

Is Krug's Peter Whear bread still produced?

The top one is the better looking comic of the two. Hopefully the bottom one was cheaper.

Multiple firsts in this one:

I love those Cheerios and Wheaties giveaway comics! Plus the Quaker Oats Bugs Bunny ones of course! I've been slowly adding to my own collection over the past fifteen+ years.

I liked your raw ones better.

It sounds like what I do with Wall Street on a daily basis. 

That's the part I don't believe.

There was heavy speculation on the 1968 #1s. Dealers at NY shows in the mid-70s still had hundreds of new copies of those books.... I don't remember there being any demand for the Fourth World books, but I wasn't paying any attention.  

I remember the owner of Dragon Lady on Queen Street West in Toronto talking on the phone circa 1980 telling a close friend that a fellow came in looking to sell a stack of comics. He said it was mostly "real junk", New Gods, Mister Miracle, Demon, Kamandi, etc.

Comic stores were chock full of those titles at the time.
