....."from the collection of Steve Meyer" ........ boy if I wasn't married.......

Ciorac and esquirecomics....they look too happy...I wonder what they're up to? "security....better check their pockets on the way out"

"why do you waste your money on those silly things???...Superman will never lead to anything!!"

Ocean's Eleven?....phooey! How about Showcase's Six!

I hear if you keep this one long enough, it will be worth more than its sticker price

Ft88 ( Ed ) with his daugther and Rick ( Detective27Kid )...they must be deciding on who will do the dishes, and who will put the baby to bed.

.....if only Mark could really wrap his arms around those More Funs........

the doorway to heaven.........

there will be many more pics....I am weening you onto them, like the addicts that you are

perhaps the finest group of comic professionals to ever walk the face of the earth... from left to right: Bob Beerbohm, esquirecomics, Ciorac, showcase-4 and the Detective27Kid

yeah...when you're a wealthy banker in Engalnd, they are suprisingly affordable!

which would you choose Sean???

Ok gents....I'm charging up my digital camera's batteries right now, and will be taking some sweet pics for you guys today. I know exactly what you want to see, so later tonight, this thread should be full of some fresh and juicy images of our GEM group tour and lunch! Steve

You sure do swing for the fences George.....Congrats! Steve

Love these high grade, large logo Tecs George Steve

Both books sold for $24,000 around '04/'05. The 1st image is the back of a Tec 27 graded FR 1.0 unrestored with cream pages...the front of the book has some damage, but there is no paper loss. The 2nd book/ MF53...speaks for itself. Which one would you choose, and why ? ................or I like pretty books....have to go with the Spectre on this one ( 1st time I passed on a Tec 27 in this thread ) Steve

a tiny, tiny taste to wet your apetite ...this thread needs some comic books! This pic is courtesy of Mark Zaid, which he took and posted in a previous thread about GEM's grand opening (which we both attended).

"yoo-hoo..... out of towners"....looks like you picked the right weekend to come to Baltimore! Saturday...Mostly sunny. Highs around 80. Sunday...Mostly sunny. Highs in the upper 70s. Steve

Wow!....almost 1,000 views of this thread, and we are still 6 days away from even meeting at GEM, much less posting all the juicy pics when this gathering actually happens! The power of the CGC Boards should never be underestimated! Thank you Steve Borock for the grading company, these great Boards, and meeting us at GEM !! Steve (PS...not to sound like a real Blogging super-geek, but after 1 1/2 years of the "egyptian pharoh" avatar, it was time for its retirement. I searched hundreds and hundreds of DC comic book avatar options as a replacement, and chose this killer, wildly detailed and striking Joker image... I am virtually 100% Batman focused now....hope it suits me! ....as you know, this whole avatar thing is very important to us guys, even though the wives may think we are all )
