Another seahorse cover:

Now here's a horse of a different colour!
File copy

Mine too!


And it's not just the covers I like of the mens' adventure mags. They make for excellent reading as well!
I wonder which was the last one still published?

Some Harvey comics:

I love most Maurice Whitman covers!


But what pray tell would Tiger Girl be doing in Africa (other than being molested by Kojak)?

It also worked for the KC copy, originally Off-white as an 8.0, now Off-white to White as an 8.5
Lesson as always - the longer you keep rust with your books, the better it is for them.

Of course. The rust gets worse thus the contrast to the paper makes the pages seem more white. We should all strive to collect rusty staple books and just hold onto them until it’s time to regrade for an upgrade in page quality. 

My five earliest World's Finest Comics:

Five more of my defective comics (hey, they're nice but they're not perfect):



CGC 9.2

Here then are some close-up shots of my Star Trek model kits:




Plus this one which I bought just recently at my local hobby shop, Wheels and Wings:

I'm such a big fan of the Romulans that I couldn't resist the above re-issue in a tin even though I already have the original in my model kit collection.
I'm now going to start looking around for a kit of this later variant of a Romulan Warbird:

It's very well designed for confronting any marauding Federation or Bajoran imperialists.

Truth! That's another sleazy element in the hobby that needs to be spotlighted. The auction houses deliberately "talk up" prices.
I've never read a pulp but the mens' sweat magazines from the 1950's to the 1970's are excellent reading!

Sad to hear but that's quite common in long marriages. Eventually the bloom comes off the romance.

Where though have you been finding them all? I've found that comic shops and pulp dealers don't typically stock them.

March results from Swagglehaus' index.     Not to give away the punchline - Silver was down 8% vs Feb, Bronze up 5% and Copper up 8%.    If you look at the charts - the aggregate results seem to indicate that we may be in a sort of "flat-ish" phase.   Just bouncing around in a range.
