#34 - Yakky Doodle.

If we're going out of order, #48 - Squiddly Diddly.

Flippin like a pancake, poppin' like a cork Fleegle, Bingo, Drooper and Snork. Almost hard to believe that Barry "I Don't Wanna See No Panties" White was responsible for "Doin' the Banana Split."

3. Pixie and Dixie. Where's Fred?

Yeah, congrats! I know you've been selling things off to buy a copy.

Great selection of books Jimbo! Did you slab the Navy Tales yourself? I take it they reinstated pedigree status for Circle 8. There was a period where they dropped it. Though maybe it's been back for a long time and I was unaware. And if you count me, there's at least 3 people who care about Black Rider Rides Again!

They added many new people over the last few years. The last time I got the guide several years ago I looked over the advisor list and thought to myself, who are all these people? I still don't know who they are. I'd love to know the criteria they use to pick advisors. They do add new people. I don't have a current guide but just picked up my 2020-2021 edition, and quickly counted at least a dozen Boardies. Foolkiller was an advisor briefly, I think of him as an excellent choice. After the folks from the Boards, there's a lot of folks that I don't know personally but I know who they are or I've dealt with them before, and then there's also some I'm unfamiliar with. Then there's some folks whose presence leaves me scratching my head, guys who've been banned from the Boards, guys who are a known bad quantity in my book.

Here's some additional insights:

If you plan to ever spend more than a Benjamin or two on a single book, GPA is more than worth it. It’s not perfect and there’s room for potential manipulation, but it’s an incredibly useful tool that records actual sales from a variety of sources, there’s no algorithmic projections. It costs about the same per month as what some folks spend on a couple cups of coffee. Overstreet really gets a bum rap, especially here on the boards. Most of the dealers I know use one, as well as myself if I’m selling. For hot books that are starting to pop or big keys that have a steady, upwards trajectory it’s not necessarily useful. For more common, everyday books it looks right in the ballpark to me.

So this was posted by Heritage on their Instagram account?

Start by changing your username back. The glacial TATS have consumed you. Yup. I refuse to be helpful until you change it back. We didn't let Poverty Row, COI, or Mutant Keys keep their ill-conceived, alter-nom de plumes, and you're no exception.

Economy Joe? That's up there with Great Googly Moogly, TunaXBushwick and XxhtrxX (or whatever it was Captain of Industry existed as for a week before COI). No, no and no. I expect things to be back to normal in the morning.

Old label goodness!

That's our Greggy!

Did it include a primer on packing tape?

Seller's feedback is nothing to write home about (1036 negs, 551 neutral), that may figured into the hammer price, too. Think they're a board member, too.

Vic Carabotta?

This is nuts.

I think #115 would be second most important since that was his origin, and probably #111 as third since it was the first appearance of long-time nemesis Baron Mordo. Or maybe third should be #126, for the 1st appearance of Clea and Dormammu.
