  1. Thanks! It reminded me of Battle 30 - Wow! Great cover I haven't seen with unusual coloring.
  2. Nice pickup. I was watching that one. Seems like there's been a spate of good books and buys lately.
  3. Dang! I haven't been over there in a while, I should drop by. Maybe they have some new stuff since my last visit.
  4. Overdue Kudos to GACollectibles - a swell guy - for the sissy snowball books, and gigunda kudos to Divad for the FF Annual and bonus surprise. His posts may be annoying but he's a stand-up guy and great to deal with.
  5. Kudos to whomerjay for the book, and fast bullet-proof shipping!
  6. Squeek !?? It SCREAMS pre-code horror! Yeah, but it has that "Conforms to Comics Code" star, which I know nothing about. I know CCA wasn't formed until '54, and wasn't sure if this was on the cusp/cut-off point.
  7. Here's a beater I got recently. I don't think its been posted before.
  8. Just got this recently; a good read and good art with a Reed Crandall story. Multi-panels aren't my favorite, but hey - its Everett. Does this squeek by for pre-code?
  9. Big Kudos to Aces for the shweet FF 19, FAST shipping and packing it good enough that it survived sitting in the rain yesterday.
  10. I was wondering if CKB would chime in on his method. After reading a similiar taping thread many moons ago, I knew him without an introduction when I overheard him describe his clipping technique at a local show. "That dude's on the CGC boards!" I'm too lazy to clip, especially since I occasionally get a batch of boards or bags that don't fit, and have to trim the boards one by one with a carpet knife. Its 3/4" Scotch Magic Invisible Green Tape for me.
  11. I fergot - Kudos, props and thanks to drbanner and arex!!
  12. I like the inadvertent name change, although it doesn't apply like it used to when I was a lone wolf riding the freedom trail. Single, that is. Wang Dang!
  13. As I continure to bail out (H20, not comics or the boards): Kudos to ArAich for the nice books and surprise bonuses! Thanks a lot! Way overdue kudos to Nikos for several past purchases. And MOTS to Flaming Telepath for the books and shipping faster than most folks in the States.
  14. Yeah! I can't believe how rich they are. Its a real pleasure to look at. Kirby and Simon didn't do the that story though, and it doesn't quite live up to the cover.
  15. Trying to save dough, I wasn't going to buy this but the more I looked at it the more I fell in love with the cover
  16. I posted this this morning on the grading forum, but except for the king I'm not getting much lovin'. Nobody like Golden Age Kirby over there? Like I said there, I just picked this Strange World of Your Dreams #2 up on ebay. The scan was smallish and I knew it had tape, but the price was right and I don't see these too often. It presents a little nicer than the scan. PQ is nice, OW/W. Unfortunately, theres a 1/4-1/2" tear running through the 1st two pages pages. I'm tres happy, regardless.
  17. I started collecting again after a lengthy hiatus, and was searching for shops in my area I didn't know about. I came across the "name the single best comic shop in your hometown thread," lurked for many months and recently signed up.
