I believe I shared some of these in the PB thread a few years ago, but we have some new folks here. A Valigursky cover Another Valigursky cover and .. a verse to go with it Yet another cover by Valigursky Valigursky. Were the readers perhaps a bit spoiled who read this title? Valigursky

From the Smithsonian, prairie voles like to drink https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/what-can-rodents-tell-us-about-why-humans-love-180949441/ The prairie vole first caught science’s eye in the 1970s, when the mammalogist Lowell Getz launched a routine population study in the alfalfa fields and bluegrass pastures close to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where he taught at the time. To take the edge off the subzero temperatures at night, he and other researchers sometimes kept Jack Daniel’s in the study shed along with the data sheets and other materials. The alcohol was for the researchers’ own consumption; taste tests since have shown that prairie voles like liquor, and diluted whiskey may in fact have been good vole bait.

I won a copy of Flash Gordon #6 this week. I just have no idea when it might arrive as the seller has not posted a tracking number, but I think all will be good.

Ok time to sell another book from the vault Fanny says if I'm going to make any more sales I should list better books! Wonder Woman 83 (5.5 CGC) I have had this book since 1999, and it's time to find a new owner. There are two graded copies on Ebay right now. A CGC 7.0 is selling for $1270 and a CGC 4.0 is selling for $240. In January of this year a raw copy graded as good sold for $150. The book has white pages. There are newton rings on the slab. There are 23 copies in the census. Provenance, as far back as I know: I bought this book from Globe News located in Superior Wisconsin in the fall of 1999. It was in a short box behind the counter, where the "good stuff" was. The building itself was built in the late 1880's, and has been a newsstand type of store since at least the 1980's. Asking $270 Final reduction b4 going to Ebay $250
