  1. Thanks Tim! I'm now an official member of the Fawcett cult.
  2. my new favorite book in my collection. Interior art is of the same quality. But Raboy definitely swipes his own artwork- the Capt. Marvel Jr. cover poses for 4-5 issues are reused in a single action sequence inside.
  3. Just picked this up at last weekend's Big Apple show. Crowley pedigree. Perfect copy, in ALMOST every way!
  4. Picked up at last weekend's Big Apple show- Master #35, Crowley copy, with classic Mac Raboy artwork. Easy 9.6, with just a little tear.
  5. Freed from it's plastic prison! and freed from some dealer's inventory!
  6. great pickup! 50-75 are tougher than earlier issues, but not 'tough', depending on what grade you are after. Typically non-key issues go a decent % less than guide in midgrade. #50 and 66 are particularly elusive from experience. You are right in that there seem to be a million copies of #53 around...
  7. I think I recognize this book as one that had been listed on and off for a while, and did have the wrong back cover. Was it CGC'd? Looks great, though!
  8. only by half- I assume the inner shell is intact. But only til I get my hands on it! This is actually the 2nd eBay cgc book I've gotten with a cracked or missing outer shell. Do the things break that easily?
  9. Thanks to Jon (PointFive) for sniping this one for me whilst I was in a client meeting! It even has a SPINE! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...A%3AIT&rd=1 It's actually now my highest graded GA book. Hopefully not part of any trend...
  10. thanks for the info, all. Looking forward to posting some new books soon. I read through the one issue I got, and it was definitely my cup of tea. One of those books I'd have never gotten turned onto if not for these boards...
  11. I must get US Marines #3. I must get US Marines #3. I must get US Marines #3. I must get US Marines #3. I must get US Marines #3. I must get US Marines #3. October, that book looks GREAT. In the meantime, I DID get Atomic War! #2, the last issue I needed to complete the set.
  12. yah, but they don't smell the same, do they? hey- LOVE your sign-off animation! LMFAO
  13. to those who have been collecting these; what % of guide should I expect to be paying on them for low / midgrade copies?
  14. awesome books. Envious would be an understatement. Now, are these books you picked up pre-show or by previous arrangement? or did you just happen upon them while walking the show?
  15. it's a blip. it''l go back down to a few hundred at some point. What is the current circulation of Usagi Yojimbo anyway? how many fans are willing and able to drop a grand on this book?
