Dear Gator, What is "packback"? (I seem to recall seeing this in reference to some of the Mhedy threads, but missed the original reference and am too slow to pick it up based on the 2nd hand references).

I always like getting raw books from Dre because he packages so well that not only do the books arrive in great condition but the bags & backboards do too, saving me the hassle of rebagging & boarding them. Thanks again!

I received a couple of slabs from Frank today. He packaged them bombproof and shipped them really fast. Thanks, Frank

I purchased one of Bob's VCC books and he shipped it fast and secure. Thanks!

That's awesome!

This was a great read!

Great packaging and fast shipping. I hope to do business with him again! Thanks!

Fast shipping on some sweet supplies at a great price. Thanks guys!

That is not an either/or question. a "neither" ?

I received my books fast and they packaged impeccably. Thanks, Dre!

I got my picture taken with Andre and Dusty Rhodes right here in Panama City Florida in the early 80's when they were tag team partners... in Andre's prime, he was an awesome athlete... in the 70's and 80's, there were still "bigger" men, like Haystacks Calhoun and stronger men like Bruno S...into the 80's and 90's the likes of Hulk Hogan and Lex Luger were just incredible specimens physically, that they might have taken Andre in a real match... I think andre only lost 2 matches in the early days...Canek pinned him and Antonio Inoki got him by submission and in the End, I think Hulk H got him too Dear Gator, Any chance you could scan and post this picture? I'd like to see a couple of legends side by side, and Dusty Rhodes too

Dear Gator, In a real wrestling match with no acting, could anyone have beaten Andre the Giant in his prime? If so, who?

Dear Gator, What is your favorite comic book cover for each of Action, Superman, Detective, and Batman, as well as your favorite overall comic book cover?

Of the original $30 forked over by the brothers, it is accounted for as follows after all is said and done: clerk/hotel retains $25 brothers retain $3 clerk retains $2 Add it all up, and you get the $30 that was originally forked over by the brothers Looking at it another way, at the end of the day, the brothers should have paid $25 in total, but because of the bell boy's actions, they ended up paying $27 $28 $27 in total. fixed that for you (thumbs u Nope, fixed that back for you In an attempt to better explain the answer to nearmint's riddle: The question of "where is the other dollar" is not a valid question since it's not accounting for apples to apples; Net Expenses to the brothers = ($10 - $1) x 3 = $27 Net Income to the hotel = $30 - $5 = $25 Net Income to the bellboy = $2 --> Net Expenses = Net Income The question is taking an expense item from one party (the $27 above) adding to it an income item from another party (the $2 above) and asking why it doesn't equal the initial outlay by the brothers (i.e. $30)...

Congratulations to both of you! Actually it will be a 3 way deal which was great and really shows how great this board is. I will be getting Andre's undercopy and will post as soon as I get it :-) I have now managed a run of 28-30, but think like many others I will just not be able to get that 27. Time will tell. Thanks guys for making this deal work out and thanks also to Gator. James G Congrats!

Well done, brotha'! That's a gorgeous copy!

I'm mostly a lurker, but to state the obvious, I've noticed that Gator is one of those guys that seems to know everything there is to know about the Golden Age (and like Greggy, he's always around to answer your questions ). Feel free to use this thread if you have any Golden Age questions that you'd like to know that answer that aren't worthy of their own thread.

Since you asked so politely... I especially like the eye appeal on the #2 and the #11

Kudos right back at you Trey for a smooth transaction that included your paying me for the book well ahead of our agreed upon payment due date. Good luck with your future Captain America purchases!

I too am way over due on KUDOS (for items I purchased, sent for SS, sold, etc). HUGE thanks to (not in any particular order) DESERTWINDCOMICS NYCOMICS MUTANTKEYS MR MYLAR BILLYTHEKIDD JONJESPER SOMEWHEREINTEXAS CHAINNBALL SLINGINWEB UNKNOWNWORLDS and last, but definitely not least, RICH HENN Thanks a lot guys!

Does the printing on the back of the book match up with the ink transfer that was left on the front; if so, this would further support your wet ink transfer comments...

A big thanks to MutantKeys and to Desertwind Comics for helping me get some of my books signed this year some of my favorite writers and artists. You guys are the best! Here is one of my favorite Joker covers signed by Jerry Robinson (thanks Danny!), and the first Silver Age key that I acquired many years ago signed by Stan the man (thanks Chandler!)...
