@Cat-Man_America, you’re suggesting old back issue comic stores gave rise to our current LCSs? Interesting (along with the rest of your historical perspective)

This is what I want to see when I walk into a convention. but what I actually see nowadays is this . . .

Almost all Cap 74s have weird wraps and cuts to them, just goes with the territory

I think you're messin with me now, Lou!

Ah, the Cap 74. Such a great book, and I know it went for heavy gold. To me, the Promise books are unusual in how clean the back covers are. Congratulations! With that many to choose from, It must have been difficult deciding which Promise Timelys to go after

Wait, what? Yesterday’s 9.2 is today’s 9.4, I guess. As @tth2might say, Man I Love This Hobby

Musta been a bad jury, because that guy was guilty

It's hard to believe little Johnny Crawford has already passed. Whew, where does the time go?

There’s a boardie here that chased Johnny Crawford around at a convention until he finally autographed this issue. Crawford initially refused, not much liking the infamy of the picture. (He knew what you guys out there were saying - you sickos) But when the boardie persisted, he finally agreed to sign it. Probably just to shut the boardie up about it already. So he autographed. . . The Log itself!! I’ll look thru my messages for who the boardie was that told me ok it was @comix4funwho told me about getting Johnny Crawford to autograph the log. and as long as we are on the topic of crazy, how about this:

Absolutely not the same

I didn’t realize you whales were watching this humble book, although the bidding should have tipped me off. I woulda paid more, so I’m happy to get out of that with my skin . . .

The Watcher strikes again

Yes, me too. He seems to be doing well at Heritage

I don’t think this one is particularly rare, but it is getting pricy. And my life will be just fine without the coupon

Great job @comicnoir

Did you just win this off the Heritage weekly? Really nice book

I had no idea

I’m used to being made a fool. I’m IN!

CGC does it themselves during encapsulation process. Maybe the guy ate breakfast on it first. Anyway, I’ve got that problem with my Mask 1, actually. I’ll send it in for a reholder one of these days and hope for a better outcome

And with the end of WWII, thus began the inexorable slide toward Crime, PCH and Romance. . .

I think there’s an argument to be made that the 7.0 would benefit from all the eyes on the 8.0. If I were the 7.0 owner, that argument would have been somewhat persuasive. Together , the 2 Bats would achieve a bigger splash and draw out bigger money. Of course it didn’t turn out that way, at all
