This was in the December Comic Connect catalog. It's certainly doesn't sound like Seigal was in good financial shape in 1951. I feel like this line could have easily worked into dozens of EC stories: "As long as I live, and afterwards, I shall haunt you and yours. Before God, I put a curse on you"

I've held on to hope that this wasn't the case. This story just keeps getting worse! What a mess! I'm really sorry for everyone caught up in this.

What is the defect? The top staple? Billions, no way? I wouldn't pay more than a few hundred thousand for a modern missing a staple!

The SS6 I had been after for years. It's a low grade copy, but I'm happy to own it. The FF1 was an upgrade from a restored copy. And the last one was a tough tough choice. I picked up a few Bakers that I love and a Young Romance #1 (first romance comic by Simon and Kirby) among others. Ultimately I went with a recent purchase from @Readcomix. It was Joe Sinnot's personal copy of Marvel Tales 109 signed by Joe on the story he drew. Joe is one of my favorites and I'm really happy to have this little connection to him.

That may be the nicest copy of Headline 8 I've ever seen. That book is high on my want list!

A few thoughts on this: 1) Pods seem like a reasonable idea - especially if moving companies would really charge $7k to move. 2) I would pair down the collection. Try to get to maybe 10 -15 short boxes and convert it 5-8 long boxes. I'm assuming with a collection of that size, the vast majority of them aren't worth a ton - you could keep just the valuable ones and ones that are meaningful to you. 3) I've driven cross country on 8 separate occasions. I've done it in Uhauls and in many different cars. I've gone straight through with barely any rest and I've taken weeks. The trip is what you make of it. It can be a brutal, caffeine fueled marathon or you can give yourself a week or two, see sites, visit family and limit your driving to 6-8 hours a day. I wouldn't rule out the adventure, because there is a lot to see along the way.

I agree. I watched all of those cartoons and never bought any of those comics. My comic interests started with spiderman and X-Men in the late 80s.

I was born in 82 and while I never read the comic book, Richie Rich was still popular during my childhood. There was a cartoon that I remember watching as a kid and a few movies that were rebooted. While he wasn't a huge part of my childhood, he was still fairly popular in the 80s and 90s.

Thank you! I didn't read thoroughly!

There are definitely some nice books, depending on Era/ grade. DD1, FF2, SS1 if they are from the original series (60s) are worth a good bit. Others like DD2 and Black Panther 1 could be worth good money depending on grade and condition. Pictures would be helpful. Your next step would be to get an accurate grade. If you post pictures and use are all from 60s, you should get a grade estimate and then you can use various tools to determine value... like, ebay sold items or Mycomicshop

I give you lots of credit. I never had the patience to put together long runs, but I've completed some smaller series. The Strange Tales of the Unusual isn't really SA, but it's close. I'm also working on some high grade BA horror runs.

I bought a bunch from you and a bunch from another boardie. I'm a sucker for Everett's Atlas covers!

It does look relatively flat since about August. I wonder if prices have flattened a bit.

I couldn't zoom in on the pictures without it getting blurry, but agree with everyone else. Check the inside front cover.

Not a lot of big purchases this year, but I did get a personal grail I had been after for some time. I also added a few Baker non-romanace covers and a several Atlas readers.

I think your often funny. And I'm not even saying that in a sarcastic or insulting one. (I realized if left open to interpretation, that could be insulting.. no malice intended).

If I could add emojis to your posts, this one would have gotten a laughing face.

I think Robin was only created to give Batman someone to talk to in this early days. It's hard to get into Batman's head when he has no one he can trust to explain what he's thinking to. How much of Adam West's brilliance would have been lost without Burt Ward being there to explain things to?

I'm sorry to hear about this! Good luck and keep us updated.

I like Sup 5 better, but generally prefer the Action title.

@MattTheDuck and @Sauce Dog Can you tell us how many people have responded or the total $$ reported as stolen? If you don't want to disclose, that's understandable. I'm just curious how much traction you are getting.

Imagine finding one if this original paintings today? What's interesting is, however has them, likely has no association with comics and has no idea what collectors would pay for them. Thanks for posting this! Really interesting read!

Agreed- if it's all legit he'll happily meet at a police station and tell him it's a cash deal.

That's still a lot of red!!! But you are seeing more green compared to last sale!
