  1. I bought my #17 as a raw 2.5 and sure enough it graded out that way. I remember seeing a copy of Action 14 that had "Billy York" written on it as well. Can anyone find the "error" on the cgc label?

     

    What's the error? PM me with it if you don't want to give it away.. (Is this not the 5th Superman cover?)

  2. For those of you, who worshipped Jack Cole, this is the thread for you. I will posting scans of some of my Police and Plastic Man Comics in the next week. though I know, some of you will want to post his other artwork.

     

    How about a nice Comet story from Pep Comics #3, March 1940? Note the comet was totally ripped off by the X-Men, but that's besides the point. This is a controversial story in which the Comet gets hypnotized and KILLS police officers!

     

    Enjoy guys....

  3. Side note on the Archie #40. When I was 12 (1985) my Mom took me to a yard sale. They had several hundred Archies from about 1965-1980, and were selling them for .10 a piece. Our family didn't have a lot of money, but my sweet mother bought me FORTY DOLLARS WORTH! To be 12 and have 400 Archies you've never read was like sensory overload. Well, the people at that house brought out a really beat up copy of Archie #40, which I'd never seen anything like at that time. They told us it wasn't for sale! To this day I still have all 400 books and would not sell them - my kids will be reading them someday!

    Fast forward to 2001-2002. I was collecting Archie #1-100, and had every issue but #40 (on purpose). My mom was dying of cancer, and before she passed I showed her the #40 I had just purchased that completed the #1-100 set, and told her how much she meant to me. To me, there will never be any replacement for Archie Comics and I slipped an Archie #110 (The "Mama's Boy" Cover) in her casket with her. Mom was a Katy Keene fan as a child, and used to get big stacks of them in the 50's for a dime. Archies are the part of me that are pure and perfect, and remind me of much simpler times in my life.

     

    I love you all!

  4. Some very nice pick-ups!!! I know you've seen it before, but I can't resist adding my copy here (if it's ok wit-you) 27_laughing.gif

     

    Actually, any posts in this thread make me happy. Sometimes it feels like just me, the wind and the tumbleweeds 27_laughing.gif
