  1. In trying to describe how a thread like this impacts us as fans of the hobby, anything I say will fall short of how important this run of comics is that you have put together. Congratulations on this accomplishment and thanks for sharing. We are in awe!
  2. My goal this year is to complete my Batman 2-10 run. I wish my goal for this was last September when this #2 sold for $15,600. I just bid $20,040 and got immediately shot down. Batman 2 CGC 6.5
  3. No. I didn't get any of the super rare ones.
  4. I recently purchased a collection with a few price variants.
  5. I've been on the boards for 18 years. I read a lot but rarely post unless I have some significant value to ad. This time I have no value to ad. I just wanted to make a post.
  6. This picture is from a collection out of Missouri back in 2012. Discovered by another dealer who sold me my Det 31 that was somewhere in there.
  7. It was either 1988 or 1989 when I had a booth selling at SDCC that I was asked if they could photograph a few of my comics for the Photo Journal. I was surprised when my name made the book in the list of contributors. I remember 2 comics specifically. Famous Funnies #17 & #18. Back then the 17 would be called NM, today's standards easily a 9.0. The only flaw was a 1/4" bindery tear at bottom of spine. The comic was stolen a few months later at the Bruce Schwartz LA show. Gone forever but located in 1999 on eBay auction. I messaged the seller asking how he got the comic book, but I didn't get the answer I was looking for. I guess I expected him to say I stole it from your booth at the LA comic show. Anyway, I never told him it was stolen years ago. If I ever see it again for sale, I will try and buy it. If anyone knows who owns it I would like to buy it. The LA shows at the Ambassador Hotel and later at the Shrine Auditorium were awesome in the 80's but thieves were everywhere.
  8. Hot Wheels were a big part of my childhood in 1970s. I have about 20 in my collection. These 3 are my favorites.
  9. What a bummer. I was happy for you. Hopefully this scammer gets caught. At least you know what it feels like to have a grail even if only for a couple days.
  10. 3 purchases I made this year that I really like are these. I started buying Amazing Spider-Man off the stands with issue #153 and was hooked. When I noticed this #158 page come to auction recently it was from an issue I greatly remember reading in my early days of collecting. Ross Andru is the Spider-Man artist of my time. I love this page and according to a thread started in Original Art I probably overpaid. Not sure how you put a price on comic art when it has a special meaning to you. I actually had a max bid of $6000 above what I won it for. Now you OA guys know who bought it. Next are the twins. No special meaning on these. I had a FOOM subscription but after FOOM 10. FOOM 10 colors are better than the picture I never saw the GS 1 at my local drugstore as I'm sure I would have bought it back in the day. Got one now.
  11. On the Tec 35, seller not happy, buyer very happy. Merry Christmas Comic Geeks!
  12. After reading about potential problems in this thread I decided to open one. It does have some discoloration on the back that was mentioned but the front has very bright colors with no separation or cracking. Just stunning actually.
  13. I have a few of these from 1971 still in original roll. Kinda like a CGC 9.8 bronze comic though. Don't want to crack it out. Just buy a low grade poster to enjoy and keep this beauty in it's original form.
  14. I say 3.0 and it should look really nice after dry cleaned.
  15. Still long gone. Maybe one day it'll surface.
  16. This makes my 13th post for 2022 so it stands to reason when I post in a thread I typically have something important to add. This post isn't one of those times. I just wanted to make a post.
  17. I used to be a follower and collect the cool GA comics like Batman, Captain America etc. Then I discovered a hidden gem in Leroy comics. Only 6 issues but WOW every issue is packed with excitement and intrigue, so I've heard. Gotta read them one day. Now I need to find the very elusive #1 issue.
