My new double bookshelf from a closed Borders store

I just finished Tolkien's "Lost Tales 1", which was a slow read, but interesting nonetheless.

I am currently reading James Patterson's "Double Cross"...I need a quick read

I don't if any posted this yet, but the original TV show is only $7.49 at amazon.com:

Interesting note re. Bob's story of the "thousand comics" from 1950.

 

At least part of that Ghost Rider # 1 warehouse find made its way to Showcase New England a few years ago. My 8.0 copy of Ghost Rider 1 was one of approximately 40 raw copies, 6.0-9.2, that they auctioned off on Ebay all at once (at 2 minute intervals) about four years ago. Likewise they had dozens of copies each of a few Tim Holt and Fight Comics.

 

I paid $200 shipped for my copy of Ghost Rider 1. Looks 9.2/9.4 from the front but back cover has some smudging that brings it down, so I'd advise anyone buying Ghost Rider 1 online to get a back-cover scan first.

I remember bidding on many of those, but losing on all (under bidder a few times). I don't think that way of doing it was very smart financially for Showcase, but at least we had a good chance of getting a copy.

From my experience and all I do is collect rare comics, I think the Gerber books are the least accurate. I think the Overstreet is the most accurate and I don't even deal with the CGC census because this is based on who submits their books to be graded. What about all the copies out there that are not graded like all my books. This can't be accurate. If CGC says there is only one graded copy for a book then everybody thinks it is rare but surely there are many people who have copies that don't care about CGC.

Of course OS should be more accurate since it can be updated yearly.

7.0 and cash

It is hard to read most of those titles, but playing around with it helped a little bit:

Yay, double covers!

Post 'em if you got 'em! No need to hold back!

I read volume 11 TPB a few days ago and when I saw this OA, I remembered that I have no clue what is going on in panel 1 (this is with the cannibals). Can anyone enlighten me?

 

Dale is waking up and the shadowy figures are talking to him. It looks weird without the grays added in.

Ah, now I see it. That is a flame on the bottom left corner Thanks.

closeup view, he's immortalized picking his nose and holding lone ranger 38 & looney tunes 118

Awesome...this would make a great avatar

I already have mine. It's stored in the same box with the Ark of the Covenant.

 

Now I know you're lying. The Ark was a box.

 

 

Box of what?

The second set of ten commandments, silly

OA isn't for everyone, but wonder what the guy who paid $12K for the 9.9 would buy if he had it to do over again. The highest graded copy (of which there are now 3, I believe?) or a truly one-of-kind collectible (at 1/3 the price).

 

Yeah, modern prices are so screwy...OA would have been much better.

 

$4k for a Liefeld page. i'm sure there are OA guys who are thinking that's screwy too.

 

sorry, but i beg to differ, that's a page from his first appearance, i'm thinking that is a very wise investment, the CGC 9.9...no.

$12K for a Liefeld book, or 1/3 that for OA featuring the 1st appearance of a key character. Whether $4K is too much or not, the OA is a much better investment.

3 TPBs were very well packaged...thanks!

Dear GAtor,

 

How was the show? Any good sales or pick-ups?

 

thank you for asking

A recap of some sales we made at the Con:

...

 

those were the highlight sales...

 

only purchased 4 books

...

 

I sold Verzyl that Zip 32 mile high copy about 11 years ago, it's a real stunner!

 

Congrats!

Facebook is trying its best to connect me with Verzyl...I don't know why

 

What did I miss?

Welcome back!

You missed record-breaking prices (or maybe you didn't), Action 1 talk, Tec 27 talk, and most recently, Pep 22 talk.

Will the meatball sandwiches I am making for my company's "One Dish Wednesday" be yummy?

in a 2004 interview, the late actor david carridine mentioned he had a detective 27 in his collection but his dad burned his comic collection in the 1940s because he believed comics were a "bad influence" on carridine. ouch! carridine didn't say if he got another copy but he still maintained an interest in comics throughout his life.

 

At the 1989 San Diego Comic-Con I was set up with Howard Rockman from Albuquerque (at the time I was managing his comic store there). A guy came up to the table and asked if we had any Supersnipe Comics. The guy looked like a bum. He had pants on that were so dirty I swear they would stand up on their own.I had to look at him a few times before I realized it was David Carradine. It was shocking how unhealthy he looked.

Well we had one Supersnipe that he liked and he wrote us a check for $40 for it. When we got back home the check bounced. Howard could never collect on it so we put it up for sale in the shop for $40. It sold in about a day.

, that is a great story and I am glad that in the end everyone got what they wanted out of the deal

I have been looking for a nice, affordable copy of this for a while and this just arrived

My only Mound City win (with many, many low-ball underbids). I wanted a copy after reading the history behind it in a list of the 100 greatest comics, so this was perfect at only $11.80 shipped

I like to pick up any of the SOTI Books (Seduction of the Innocent) along with any of the POP books.

This are collectible, they hold their values and they tend to be some of the best books of the various runs.

 

You cant go wrong with either and they are a great introduction to Crime books and the golden age..
