Oh groan. Bronze Age comics are so common in high grade that I won't buy those with a white stripe.

Marines?! Here's my preference when it comes to marine life:

I don't think MyComicShop should be able to walk away lightly from an error this egregious since it involved monumental carelessness on their part. Where were their management/accounting controls? Why did they not have procedures in place to prevent foul-ups of this magnitude? And this wasn't some run-of-the-mill sale. This was big time. I think they richly deserve to get their knuckles rapped. I'm seeing a real black eye for MyComicShop. If you know the owners, you should suggest that they explain themselves right here in this thread.

Well what Molly Mayne used to lure Alan Scott into her boudoir is pretty obvious in those cover pics. Those later All-American Comics with Harlequin on the cover are my favourites from the run.

Where did you find that illustration?

More wings!

Given the monumental carelessness they'd demonstrated, i.e. even cashing his cheque despite the comic having been sold days previously to another buyer, they should have offered Badger somewhere between $12,000 and $15,000 of store credit for his $10,000.

Atlas sure issued a diversity of fabulous comics across multiple genres prior to 1962!

Speaking of Mexicans, I've often wondered why "Superhombre" is written on this issue of Adventure Comics:

I like Queen Bee better:

I have all six of the Rocky and His Friends Four Color comics:

From Giant-Man to Ant-Man (the Hank Pym I like):

A lawyer right out of school could work them over far worse than that. It's a slam dunk case of breach of contract.

MyComicShop owes you big time! Far more than a refund of the purchase price. Consider. They made you an offer through the listing on their website. You accepted it by sending them a cheque. That according to contract law is a legally binding agreement right there. This means it was case closed even before MyComicShop went and cashed your cheque. That means MyComicShop must legally honour your deal. To put it another way "He who sells what isn't his'n must buy it back or go to prison." Yes, yes, I understand that mistakes can and do happen, but a man must nevertheless PAY for his mistakes. There's no just walking away from a mistake with a shrug. In effect you have them over a barrel. MyComicShop must therefore offer you an alternative (say a much higher priced comic for your money) to which you agree if they cannot deliver on their contractual obligation to deliver that issue of USA Comics to you. Hopefully you've not settled for less.

Hmmmm. So I see that CGC doesn't penalize for a miscut left edge.

Oh man! Great spot! And I have that comic in my very own collection and I hadn't noticed that it fit:

Even this book on Terry-Toons is now very pricey indeed:

Cool! That was the first of three Pixie and Dixie Four Color comics. I have the second one:

Poor Wonder Woman! From a creature that's the "first obstacle" to a creature that's the "first threat" only two issues apart!

Since the image that Jeffro posted on the second page of the the top comic here has been lost, I'll repost this pair: Incidentally it took Mr. Element/Doctor Alchemy a whopping seven and a half years to make the cover of The Flash after his introduction in Showcase 13!

From "Monster at My Window" to "I Married a Monster!":

From Kraven the Hunter to the Huntress:

Sweet! Were most of those brands distributed in Illinois?

Bottle collecting is very regional by nature. Collecting just anything made across the nation is just too overwhelming a task space wise. I therefore collect the ten ounce pop bottles I remember growing up in London, Ontario plus whatever other bottles that were used somewhere else in Ontario but look mega cool. Similarly my ACL milk bottles are all from Ontario (the closer to London the better) but I further specialize in the 1/4 and 1/2 pint sizes to keep my collection within manageable limits. Here are some individual shots:
