Just sold my slabbed Cerebus #1 to Andy. He was very good to deal with and paid promptly. Was a pleasure to deal with him and I would recommend him for any board dealings. Although I was sad to see my book go, I am certain it is going to a good home. Excellent doing business with him. Cheers, Karl.

Just arrived in the mail today...

Dear Gator... I have managed to put together some decent MMC and HT books over the last couple of years including a mid HT 5 and 8 recently. I pretty much have sold all of my other books. I figure realistically I can either collect one or the other, but not both. I typically just collect for covers and both series stand out with their obvious "classic covers". I am thinking to stick with the HT series, as the covers really appeal to me. I know Torch is not a "first string" character, but figure I have a better shot at this series than MMC in terms of cost, availability and available covers that I really like. I will never really be able to fully collect a MMC series anyways, and many of the classic covers seam to be out creeping out of my price range each year. I basically collect mid-grade books with nice eye appeal. Can you give me your advise... - How popular is the HT run in comparison for the other Timely issues of the same era? What are the most common requests you get? - What specific issues do you feel are harder to find than others and that should be more at the top of my want list - as example, I don't see to many copies of issue #7 often for sale. - At present I have # 5,8,9,10,12,14,21 - which issue should I look at getting next. - What do you feel the long run values on Timely's will be or in particular HT. Do you think they will remain as popular as demographics change within the collecting community in the next 10-20 years. Sorry for all the questions, but you are the all-mighty Thanks!

Dear Gator... Hows about some more pictures of your store, wall books in your store, Coke "0" cans or what have you.... Love the last pictures you posted on the forum... hows about some more ... That would be so dreamy ...

Good guy to deal with. Excellent communication and quick payment. Two thumbs up. Recommended for sure.

Shawn is excellent to deal with... Fast payment and communication. 5 Star Boardie! (thumbs u Thanks!

That is just crazy...

I happened to check out the FS thread this morning and saw the Micronauts 9.8W for sale...which immediately brought back flooding memories of this... I remember desperately asking Santa for the Micronauts Battle Cruiser...I wanted it so badly...think my parents had to run all over looking for it, but there it was Christmas morning...and it was KICK AZZ! I loved this thing...especially the ship could fire the two side rockets and then had two smaller firing rockets that you could attach to the tail. Plus it was motorized...this was awsome...I played with it for years...although I did loose if for some time. You could pry off the orange heads of the rockets and essential fire the "sticks" --- they flew much faster and farther (essentially you could use the rocket launchers as hand guns ...all until I decided to shoot my younger brother...mom took 'em away for a while Anyway, this was the best toy I ever had...what say you....PS anyone else have this beast!!!!!

Dear Gator... Does gator taste like chicken? What carbonated beverage is best served with gator?

Tom is nothing but a class act. Excellent and personable to deal with. Double thumbs up. Have had multiple dealings with him. (thumbs u

Nice book! (thumbs u

Just in...

Posted a scan of this book a while back from the original sales thread that Dino had up, but now that the book has arrived and is in hand, I couldn't resist posting another. Great book to add to my Timely collection. HT #14 5.5 w/nice OW pages. Really happy with it. Furthermore, Dino is top-shelf...great guy to deal with, two thumbs up (thumbs u . Thanks buddy. Can hardly wait until I pick up my next HT from you ... Here is the book, just out of the box ...

Cerebus goodness...

Finally decided to use my coupon and sent in a couple low grade Timelys I wanted to get slabbed, along with a bronze age book. Ya, not high grade copies, but I love 'em anyway Two of Schomburg's best covers... MMC #46 1.0 Blue Label COW - 1/3 of back cover missing at bottom. Ebay buy about 2 - 2 1/2 years ago. USA #7 2.5 PLOD Label W. Bought from October as restored about 3 years ago or so.

Hey Steve - Thanks (thumbs u Excellent transaction and I am glad you like the books! All the best.

WOW! Nice copy there. Colors are dripping. Any resto on it? Thanks, yes the colors are fantastic. No resto.

I'm on the HT #8 cover bandwagon myself. I just think it is a better looking cover IMO. Mind you I like HT #10 cover as well, so what the heck do I know... Mmmmmmmm, HT #8 goodness...

lookit that little atlas globe. love that book. way to go sir; wouldn't have minded nabbing it, but had just pulled the trigger on his usa, and couldn't manage both. I hear you...so many good books, so little cash I just could not let this one pass by...your USA was very tempting too. Two good scores...you gotta love it. Congrats on your book. (thumbs u Cannot wait to get this one in the mail.
