Just awesome books Jon!!! Love that mini run!

It is a great run. I managed to get them all including the #6 but now I have to add Daring Mystery #6 and USA #7 for their Marvel Boy appearances. Does it ever end

thankfully, NO.

thanks to one of my favorite boardies, i present:

Ryan you da man!!

 

Congrats on the two pieces Rick! I was able to see one of those in person before Ryan finished it

amazed at his talent, i just did one of those family-tree search thingees on Ryan; turns out his mom's maiden name is Schomburg--it all makes sense now!

Great Timelys everyone! Won this on eBay last month...seller bought it from a fellow boardie! I knew someday I'd get a copy of this tough Timely...

 

 

GE

timeless timely. i'm proud for you GE.

Nice book Jon

 

Here are a few recent acquisitions:

This arrived today. One of my favorite Cap "poses" & KILLER WHITE pages (thumbs u Thanks GE

 

a beauty. love that thin little blue banner on #10.

 

just a great book Ronaldo; gotta love the c.a.'s. hey, i'd love to have a c.a. c.a. now that i think about it; got a c.a. m.m. but no c.a c.a.. got my d.c. run going, so i've already got a lot of caca, would be another way of looking at it.

huh

(Cosmic Aeroplane Captain America... definitely not caca, DC = caca )

 

Sez the guy who follows the Astros...

Astros = dookie

 

 

I'm going through Blue Belle withdrawal, but I have a six pack of Shiner Bock in the 'fridge.

is that the blue bell brand for girls?

This one was sold to me by the great Sacentaur during our geek meet up a couple weeks ago

 

My first Heroic and CA Ped

I see that you got past the smell.

yeah, once you get past the smell, you've got it licked.

I just won this on eBay for a very reasonable price. The seller also had a #1 that went for a low price, wish I would bid higher on that one, too:

 

 

very nice, Sir. and i heard the seller roots for the best ol' college football team in the land.

the Gators?...wait a minute, I didn't sell that book

 

 

obviously; it has no resto.

 

and i'm starting to like me some Rangers covers.

 

now you are collecting rangers too?

was just a cool cover and going for a song.

Very cool cover

 

Classic cover, no doubt, Steve.

Steve has indeed been getting some killer books, Gary, but don't take my few little crumbs away from me!

catman 1 is cool looking

 

Buy it.

 

you know he's always broke. still waiting to same enough pennies for his first g.a. book, to hear him tell it.

 

and we're about to hit 1000 pages on this sublime thread. cool.

you hit the nail right on the head, I am still "saming" ... catman is not in my forward looking glass, unless a real deal

 

well, "irregardless," you always say you're broke; you're "loosing" your credibility with all that cry wolf stuff.

 

Especially in light of his firm $150K offer on the Action 1. So how is it he can't scratch up $1K for a gorgeous blue label Catman #1 with off-white to white pages??

you poet. "scratch" and catman in the same sentence.

Action 1 because it's THE landmark comic with (arguably, along with Batman, Mickey Mouse and Archie) the most popular comic character ever.

 

In the comic world AA16 is also a landmark with the Mile High copy being the ultimate choice but Action 1 is known to those outside the hobby as well and is as close as you can get to a no-brainer from an investment standpoint. As for the cover art, even though it's been copied many times, the Action 1 cover is still a very cool one and much more interesting than the AA16 cover. That can be nice when you're sipping a nice single malt and gazing at your new acquisition...

 

we do tend to fall in love with our icons. from a timely collector who cares very little for d.c.'s of any stripe, the cover of aa 16 is MUCH better. imagine that the action actually had sparkman throwing the car on one of his sparkler covers; we wouldn't look at it twice, just as we don't on his actual covers. but you can insert any character you want, and the aa 16 will always be eye-catching. sorry, but it's my honest and VERY objective opinion.

good ol' gator. great books Pod.

a northford.

 

 

Did you pick that up from Marnin at CollectorsAssemble? Just bought this from him myself...another Northford

very pretty 'trooper. no, mine came from heritage a couple months back.

 

way to go sir; i bid on "make an offer" about 5 times over the last few months on that bad boy, but just couldn't ever get to where the seller needed me to get. i am proud for you.

 

Yeah, I had to do the back and forth thing a bit, too. I probably paid a bit too much for it, but I love the cover and wanted a Reilly with the name stamp on the back cover, so...

i need it for my Fantastic run; i shoulda jumped out there long ago, but just didn't. i never even hit it hard enough for a counter--all i got was a bunch of 'thanks but no thanks.' i'm glad a good geek got it. i expect to see it in October.

i love the colors on this one, and the artists' names on the tombstone.

 

 

Sweet book Billy!

i knew a Punch collector like yourself would like it Ro'.
