I'll take it!

Right cover, right grade! I'll TAKE IT

Thanks for posting that pic Alex! Was great to finally meet you. Its been a long time since I've posted anything or even been on the boards! Our daughter is three now, keeping us super busy, and as mentioned in some previous posts, I have been focused on my own personal artwork and comics as well. I just released "FROG WIFE", the first printing of which is now sold out. Its a very golden age looking funny book, and I'll be re-releasing it in October (second printing). Check out my instagram page (ryanheshka) if you are interested in keeping up with current work. I don't do as many direct recreations anymore, but possibly taking on commissions that involve a fresh take on GA characters or scenes... Thanks for your continued interest in my work!

I can only hope you are correct! I would love to see collectors investors start to lose interest in the Fox books as well as Centaurs, which seem to be enjoying similar attention at the moment.

The problem I have found with most golden age hero titles is that even if the market cools off (which it inevitably does), the prices remain at those hot levels. Collectors generally want to make their purchase price back. With Fox books on fire right now, does anyone foresee a future where a MYSTERY MEN 7 in mid-grade will be able to be purchased for less than 3K? Any old timers recall a Fox frenzy like we are seeing now?

Love it, WANT IT!!!

With a 6.0 unrestored recently sold on CLINK for $2100, and a 6.5 CGC blue selling this week for $5100+ (um, what?), I'm even more satisfied with my restored Berk copy of SUPERWORLD #2. Especially since it closes out my run. Am I reading the Heritage sale right? $5138.50 (incl buyer's premium)? What has happened to our hobby, folks?

One of my favorite AMAN covers, and this copy is a dream. Don't recall seeing this one when we did the viewing of your collection, but then again, it was somewhat of an overwhelming experience! (also almost a decade ago now)

Not a dud among them! Is that your second AMF 2/5 copy? Don't you have the Larson, or am I getting old? What a great selection. Congratulations!!

Fantastic pick up Steve!! I have always loved this multi-panel sci-fi cover. I hope one day I can get down to LA again and paw through your copy. Hopes of owning a copy are, as you alluded to, are scarce!

Thanks William. I was wondering how I got to that one before you. The only way anyone can beat you to the punch is if you pass on the book!

I always enjoy seeing collectors with depth to their interests. This is wonderful to see. I love that orange Felix!

Obviously it was you I had contacted on eBay. You went the mile to get all my questions asked, and this is a super nice copy. Had to pull the trigger!

oh heck,

They are from a newspaper reprint, so no cover. But I do have the full story in four instalments.

This thread is right up my alley. I'll try to jump in when I have more time. Meanwhile, here are a couple panels from a French reprint of the Detective #30 (I believe) Batman story, the return of Doctor Death. Reprinted not long after the story originally appeared. I'll fill in the details later...

I was eyeing this one up, RedFury. Congrats!!! This is just the bee's knees. I had never even seen this cover before.

Not bad Ben!! When did you pick up the Marvel #1???

Thanks for the additional info Frisco. Will have to try to find that issue. I got bitten by the 57 so badly that I bid on/won a very low grade copy off eBay this weekend. Couldn't find a better one anywhere online at the moment, so this will have to do until I can upgrade. I can tell by your enthusiasm that these books will be well taken care of!

Buying this pulp sort of softened my chances of winning some of the Berk comics, but I could not pass this one up. Great lingerie "Betty and Veronica" knife fight cover by H.J.Ward and very in high grade. High on my wantlist for sometime now!

Just saw this, and I'm so glad I didn't bid you up. 1) you have wanted it way longer than I have, and 2) it sounds like no matter how high I bid, you would have crushed me anyways! This cover really speaks to me for some reason.

So it was YOU who won the POPULAR #57!!! That was my #1 choice in the entire auction. I was gunning for it, but I thought twice about continuing to bid it up, as I figured it would continue beyond by price range. I love the "Larson" on the helmet, almost as if Martan's mom wrote it there so he wouldn't get his helmet mixed up with the other Marvel Men. Congratulations on a great book... I am jealous, but stoked for you.

You have great taste, Jimbo. That YELLOW CLAW 3 would have been a sweet pick up, but these GREEN CLAWs are a nice consolation prize.

Fantastic!!! I bid on a few of these Martan Larsons, but got buried. I really liked this cover, well done!

Many bids, one win. This completes my Superworld run. Got blown out of the water on my Popular Comics "Martan" cover/Larson copy bids. Anyone win any of those?
