  1. The one I have is fine for SA books...but most GA definitely would not fit...
  2. They're around...I got mine at an auction in Pennsylvania, after 5 years or so of searching. Some folks here have had luck at flea markets, and with local Craigslist sellers. The common thread in all the spinner rack success stories I've read here on the Boards is that patience and diligence in the search generally pays off. Good luck!
  3. Conan the Barbarian 48 Special Marvel Edition 9
  4. This one is in the mail to me this week: I'm not much of a slab collector, but back in the day my buddies and I really dug this cover (and Bruce Lee!), and copied it (or tried to copy it) many times as amateur 13 year-old artists in our Steranko/Gulacy phase. So I was very happy to find a nice copy. Probably paid too much. Still, it's a keeper...
  5. takeit TOO D@MN LATE! Remain calm. There's more. (thumbs u
  6. Got back late from dinner with the wife!!!! Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos 106 Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos 109 Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos 111 Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos 114 Marvel Team Up 32
  7. Anything listed before September 9, 2011 assume is gone - I lost a lot of these books in my flood. Anything after that, if you see the image, the book is probably still here. I know that's a pain in the rear, but the best I can do. How 'bout these? Incredible Hulk 194 Thor Special 3 Astonishing Tales 14 Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandos 78 Giant Size Spider-Man 1 Iron Man 38 Millie the Model 203 Marvel Team Up 15 Arrgh! 1 Captain America 171 The pictures are still live, and I think only a few pre-date 9/9/11...
  8. I'd buy more--LOTS MORE!!!--but wading through 200+ pages would only be fun if I were still young, motivated...and sober. Can a brother get a thread update around here?
  9. Amazing Spider-Man 148 Conan the Barbarian 41 Conan the Barbarian 47 Spidey Super Stories 25
  10. "Permanence is the illusion of every age..." Or, if you like, from Catch 22: "Rome was destroyed. Greece was destroyed. Persia was destroyed. Spain was destroyed. All great countries are destroyed. Why not yours...?" Substitute "eras" for "countries" in the above passage, and we arrive at an obvious and pedestrian--but also useful, I think--answer to our somewhat more limited question. What are we talking about when we talk about the Bronze Age? Something that is...over. And, like our childhood, it ain't coming back. Bummer...
  11. This has been out for a while, but I just got it for Christmas: It covers some very familiar ground, but it's well-researched, cites most of its sources, and has a good index, and so far has revealed a surprise or two to this life-long Who fan...
  12. I just sold my FF 12 to Dan, and it was smooth sailing all the way. Thanks!
  13. I completed two more smooth sales with Ronnie this month for large portions of my early FF run -- he is a pleasure to work with, and very much a credit to the Boards! AAA+++!
  14. Once again...real life intervened. I will be selling these early FFs this coming weekend. Sorry! Coming up for sale later this week (probably Tues. or Weds.): various early Silver Age issues of FANTASTIC FOUR, including: #1 - 5; 7 - 21; and various issues from #22 - 43. Most are lower grade, but there will be a few nicer copies mixed in as well. Stay tuned! -Mikey
  15. If I get home from work early enough this evening, I'll be listing a complete set of SA Fantastic Four, #22 - 43, at a discounted lot price. Many of them are readers, but there are few nicer books sprinkled in as well. Oh well...so much for that plan! Ran out of time tonight, but everything is scanned and ready to go, so I'll get them listed on Weds evening, 11/16, @ 8:00 or so East Coast time...
  16. Just finished a great deal with Dan -- fast payment, no hassles. All transactions should be this easy!

    Just received five very sweet high-grade BA Avengers from Ed. Superb!!! Tight, conservative grading, and the packaging couldn't be beat. (thumbs u
  18. I was working for Diamond when those came out, and I'm pretty sure it was officially recalled by Marvel. Not sure, though, how many were returned, and how many were (wisely) kept.
