Primetime

low-grade, schmow-grade----they're all timelys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and no surprise not a single DC in your sig line sir

Same here. This is ridiculous! +1!

Ok, maybe that was an error in printing on that label! . If not, I'm going to send it all my low grade stuff now

looks 4.0 based on the covers and not opening the spoiler

might be the best low grade set of Timelys on any sig line. The 15 isn't bad either

I haven't received any texts from you...I wonder if I have been texting the same person?

That is simply awesomeX3! Once for the pedigree, once for the book itself, and once for the signature. Thanks! A little back story on the book...Terry Stroud of The American Comic Book Co. had it for sale at his booth at SDCC in the late '70s. It was priced around $350. I looked at it every day of the show but never pulled the trigger. On Sunday I went by to look at it one last time and Terry asked me if I wanted it. I told him I couldn't afford it, I only had $145 left. He said he would sell it for that. I didn't think I heard him right at first but he took the loot and I got the book. In the early '90s I met Mike Manyak, one of the original purchasers of the San Fransisco Timelys. He started recounting the tale and without prompting he spoke about having one of the Marvel Mystery Comics, he thought it was 14 or 15, signed by Schomburg at convention and how he later sold it to Terry. My book! It was pretty cool to have confirmation that the autograph was authentic after all those years of not knowing. that's a neat story Richard. Speaking of Manyak, what a nice guy. I had the chance to speak to him at his booth at a local show a few weeks ago. We spoke for 90 mins and he shared some things about the Reilly collection I wanted to know about. Mike must have acquired this MM14 later as initially there was no MMs in the batch he bought from the couple with the cart at the 1973 easter show in Berkeley.

Ben, this one is AWESOME on the inside!!!! The teens through to issue 30 or so have a double whammy: GREAT covers and KILLER art inside!! Crack away my friend!!!! Ah yes. Quite aware of the treats on the interior

Nice upgrade Vern. The 15 might be the only book with the same FC and inside FC reprinted. That was an interesting advertisement by Timely.

I like the 36 as well. Schomburg detail at his best. The diagram of the tunnel is cool and yes a SOL cover as well

Go! GO! Doooooo iT! That's actually one of my favorite mmc. I think I saw Xavier Logan's years ago and was hooked it was the earliest that I liked (outside of issues 1-10) when I first saw it in the Gerber photojournals in the mid 90s. Russ really likes that book too. The tunnel makes that cover.

Go! GO! Doooooo iT! I think the mystique of the Borock old label is somehow stopping me. Is there a chest hair stuck in there? . Thankfully NOT. Would it be worth more?

thanks Billy. certainly is nice for the grade. I need to smell the pages.

Got this from Vern before the Summer when he upgraded. This was one of my first 3 Timelys I got back in the 90s. Always thought the 15 was the best cover from 11-20. The depth perception with the tanks, army, tunnel is awesome. Been close to cracking this out. The mylar is ready.

And the beat goes on Vern . Congrats

nice touch with MJ and the SS in the background

the great north just keeps producing cool funny books

true but I wish I had bought it for $13k three years back. I've seen the book in hand a few times and it is pretty "nice" for a .5. The tape adds character of well loved years . The paper is not brittle too which is a plus

I regret not buying this copy from Metro last year. the bunkys bought this book off the boards more than a year ago yup http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=5306125&fpart=1

and I almost swapped a big book prior to Turkey day to get that Supe 1. Congrats Rick the paper is surprisingly not brittle and it is the best .5 I have seen

congrats Jeff

. Pretty one Dave! Thanks Ben ~ long time no chat; hope all is well with you and yours... (thumbs u

High grade,white pages,coded Okajima pedigree, plus it's a Timely. I'd say you hit that one out of the park! Congrats geek! and it's a Schomburg cover
