  1. Patrick sold me the best Green Lantern #8 raw I have seen. He packaged it well and shipped very fast. I will always watch for his threads. 38
  2. Purchased a B&B #1 from Collin raw. Collin answered all my questions about the book before the purchase and all the answers were correct. Great book for the grade. Purchased on Monday and received on Thursday. Great communication the whole time. I have dealt with Collin in the past. True to his word. Thanks Lanier
  3. Just wrapped up a sale with Randall and everything was smooth. His communication was excellent and he paid for his purchase ahead of schedule. Would gladly sell or buy from him again!
  4. Nick purchased Wolverine 1, DD 16, and ST 135 from me. He's a good communicator or paid fast. AOK in my book. Thanks

  9. My TTA #60 and X-Men #3 arrived safely today. These books are beautiful!!!Thanks for your quick service and shipping. Satisfied customer here.
  10. After a couple of weeks filled with excitement, negotiations, disappointment, anxiety, disappearing buyers, etc the fruits of my labor and patience arrived yesterday by registered mail. I am extremely happy to place these beauties in my collection. I have to say that Tom the seller was inexperienced in the methods of the boards and not great at responding to emails. I did most of the negotiation with Gus at Silver Age Comics in Astoria, NY. I continued to read on the boards about how he was involved in some unsavory dealings and associated with Greg Jortner. (I had a small encounter with Greg in the past and I can understand boardmember's apprehensions.) I am sorry if anyone had bad esperiences or was injured by any dealings in the past, I must say that Gus was a perfect businessman with me. He was pleasant, upfront, and did everything he could to make my purchase easy. I talked to him on the phone several times at length. He called me to let me know that the books had arrived from CGC and sent me pictures. He called to let me know that the books had been shipped and gave me a tracking number. The books were packaged extremely well. I will have no reservations in the future dealing with Silver Age Comics. My
  11. Sorry to see you starting to exit the GL registry. You have some nice books! Not necessarily exiting the GL registry.....just testing the waters... I love the old Green Lantern books (expecially the red cover of the #10)
  12. I wouldn't worry about that, Ryan. If there's one thing that the last few years have shown, it's that the reputation of GA collectors being "real" collectors, and SA collectors just being flippers, is a myth. Sure you've got your old school collectors Anderson, Verzyl and Berk who picked up their primo GA books for relative pennies and have locked them away, but it seems that in recent years, once a really nice GA book comes to the market, it keeps reappearing. In contrast, the NM SA mega-keys (both Marvel and DC) that appeared in the 2001-2003 time frame have disappeared from the market. With the exception of some TOS 39s when the Iron Man movie broke big and the odd 9.2 Hulk 1 or 9.6 ASM 1 here and there, there was a real drought until 2008-2009, indicating that the prime books had truly been absorbed into real collections. When some books started appearing on the market again in 2008 and 2009, we saw record-breaking prices because SA collectors knew the opportunity to acquire the books truly was limited. Good point, Tim. I am torn since I do not want to put any more savings into funny books right now until I see which way the economy and markets are going to go. If they take another hit as I suspect, then it will be better to have cash on hand for investing and collecting purposes. If I sell, the only book I will probably keep is the GL #7 since it is so hard to find in even 8.0 or better condition. I guess my GL #9 is probably a keeper as well since 9.0 is 2nd highest graded after 9.2, but it is not as important to me as #7. you could always buy lanier's #7 9.2 on clink for $8k thats not his book is it ? I thought he had the Winnipeg 9.2. That looks like Ryan's old 9.2 with C/OW that he bought from Ted. Nothing like looking at Clink these days and seeing every GL book priced up at 5x the market rate. I mean Im waiting to still press the buy it now on the GL 83 9.6 Pacific Coast for 5K. Oh wait thats like 10x what it should be selling for. hmm, i may have misread the registry set listing. no, i just checked again. it's listed in lanier's set. maybe he and bomber bob traded copies No it IS mine. Bob and I didn't trade copies. I actually can't remember where I acquired it.
  13. I personally like the "blow-me" up Wolverine
  14. Picked this up at the Atlanta Comic Con. It was a hard decision. The choices were Human Torch #3 VF(restored), Miss Fury #8 VF and this Detective #143 6.5/7.0. I chose the Detective due to its scarcity and popularity. The character on the cover resembles a late-night talk show host don't you think???
  15. Many thanks to BigHulkFan for the nice Pacific Coast Flash. Quick shipment and packaged very securely.
  16. Major kudos to Detective27Kid for a grail book shipped quickly with great packaging. This is definitely a beauty of a book. This book looks much better than the CGC 5.5 grade. One satisfied customer here. Thanks Rick (worship)
