BZ do you still check out any new comics? just curious.

Kudos to IITravel for a nice TMNT #1 (3rd print) and a 2 and 3! Tight grading and super-fast shipping makes you highly recommended by Detroit Mike!

nice pick up.

With golden age books, I'd consider myself a type collector because I'd rather have a wider variety of books in my collection. With silver, the only run I've almost completed is Amazing Spider-Man.

Marvel Mystery # 5 and 44 ! congrats!

You really should post this in "events" so the rest of us can stop by.

great doctor strange display and the custom megos look awesome!

That's a nice platinum copy! Congrats. I bet it's still worth a decent amount in the 9.6 grade.

yes, a pennyworth times 10.

I feel so giddy all of a sudden! Greeaaat group!

I'll admit that I bought the Sandman Archives after seeing this post.

BZ In regards to some great early fandom stuff, do you have an original Alter-Ego #1 ? I'd love to see one of those.

i love this kind of stuff. did you go the any early cons in detroit?

nice page greg.

yes, these are the prime-time hours

That's like telling a guy you dated his wife before they got married.

wow! those sub-mariners are sharp!

Time for some Timelys! Here's a scan of one of my favorites. PLOD 7.5 Slight (P) Pressed and reinforced. OW/W

I got a bunch of Peter Bagge goodies today. Woo hoo! Check out my gallery if you're bored. Detroit Mike's Comic Art Fans Gallery

i'm red with envy

Nice pick up! Now get to work on that exception!

i remember showcases filled with multiple copies of batmans under #10. i don't know if they were showcasing for an upcoming auction, rotating the good stuff, or if that was just part of the regular display? my uncle asked what was a decent timely for about $20, and they brought out the young allies for me to look through. i bought the 17 and accidentally pulled the cover off of the single staple, the very next day. it was the best of times, it was the worst of times. a stack of superman #1s... i believe it.

Thanks Bob. It was the thrill of a lifetime to see cases filled with gold for the first time. This thread captures some of those same feelings.

Ahh, the first gold book I ever bought... way back in 80' What was the name of the comic dealer who operated out of an old bank in LA or Hollywood? Don't remember.
