good to see and hear your stories Russ! Nice haul, but...where's your 27?

It's always been too expensive,and that's why I find the 28 so appealing.

I've been far to busy(lazy) to dig out and scan my books,but I just can't resist this thread any longer,it is after all my favorite mini run in the GA.

28- I bought this book from a very good friend several years ago for a price that slightly threatened our friendship just kidding Jimbo.. actually looking at the current state of the market I think I did just fine.It is low grade & unrestored,but has a married CF.I'm just happy to have a copy of what most consider the hardest issue to find.

29-Around a dozen years ago I traded a stack of cool GA books with a dealer in Canada,and this is one of the books I received.I was nervous about this deal since I hadn't seen any pics of what I was getting,only a description over the phone.The book has some slight resto which he noted,but he forgot to mention it has untouched white pages

30-This is the very 1st Detective I ever purchased.Might seem strange to some as it doesn't even have a Bat cover,but I was fully aware what awaited inside.I traded what would likely have been a 9.6 FF 10 plus some loot to Harley.Looking back now I should have kept the FF,but it was way before the advent of CGC,and in those days it was actually hard to trade SA for GA It's a beautiful unrestored copy,but I had Matt Nelson remove a small piece of tape that was over the lower staple some years back.

31- I believe most of us can thank Gator for adding a Tec or two to our collections.This one came from him in Chicago a few years ago.Had to hide any trace of what I spent on it from anyone I know because they'd surely think I am completely insane.

32-Crippen copy purchased from Heritage right before Gator got seriously involved and started driving up the prices for the rest of us

34- Nice little book I bought from Ciorac,for a very fair price.Unrestored and never slabbed-Thanks again BIll!

35- I looked for years for a nice copy that I could afford as it's my favorite cover of the run,unless you count the 29 or 31.Bought this as a 9.0 with mod P work in the early days of CGC when everyone seemed to be running away screaming from PLODS.Paid 2200 and clearly got taken..

36- Another Gator book.Cosmic Aeroplane copy.Was an 8.0 slight P before I cracked it out.Thanks Rick!!

37- Bought this book recently from an original owner find.I had it slabbed since I owned a 3.5 also and wanted to keep the better of the two.

the heroic 1-15 run is FINALLY closed--this 10 took a long time. group shot coming when it makes it's way here.

 

Way to go geek! It sure would be cool to read all the Everett stories in succession.

A big THANKS to Archie Steve...

My goodness that's so beautiful Richard! Steve has clearly lost his mind letting that one go.

Thanks to Vince for reuniting me with my former (the More Fun copy) of this book

 

 

Lovely book Bill.MLJ's are so cool.Did the More Fun collection have the whole Top Notch run?

junk in the trunk

Finally the last Fox.So happy for you geek.

Wonderful pick up! I can hardly wait to see what else you've added to your collection.

Finally able to corral one of my favorite Cap covers in Chicago last week (along with the rest of the book).

 

Congrats Chris! That's certainly a difficult issue to find.I hope I can see it in person in a few weeks..

Love it Billy.One look at the damsel in distress and you instantly know it's a Schomburg.Upgrading sure is fun huh?

Very pretty copy Ben,congrats.I just love the small group of Caps from 26-28.

 

can i get some help? i want to put together a complete run of all appearances of the swimmin' fool. anybody have a master list?

I happen to have such a list,but I won't give it up until you give me that 250 you owe me

Two classic covers

 

 

Love them both Steve! Both are tough books to locate,but I hardly ever see the All New 8 for sale.

or maybe Russ and jan's couch

our poor couch..

just kidding, of course you are always welcome here too.

Way to go Ro! It's such a cool book.I fell in love with that book when Richard owned the pay copy and let us look through it raw.

still waiting for some new timely's to be posted!

I have been off Timelys for a while,but here's one I just picked up.White pages

It says "Montana" at the bottom right of the chalkboard.

Good eye Ricky! Reminds me of the time I spotted Joe Simon's signature on the cover of your Allentown WW 13.Hard to see in my scan but it is right above the Flame's left heel.

Is that a cover by Montana?

Yes I believe it is,even though Overstreet credits Irv Novick.

Thanks fellas.Now I get read the origin of the Web,and that is suwheat!!

I've been searching for a nice copy of this Zip for years.The last nice one on the market that I was aware of was the Church in 2002! Needless to say I am thrilled to have finally locked this one down.

My one win...

 

 

Flat out one of the best GA covers ever produced imho.It just screams what the GA is all about to me.

Great great books George!

 

Here is my lone auction win

 

Well if you're only going to win one book,a high grade Larson is always an excellent choice.It's a beauty Pons,congrats!

the ponscon haul [thanks go to gator for filling the chicago hole in my g.a. ped run and for dropping that fox want list to 2 books]:

 

 

Love them both Billy.The Wonder 2 is definitely not my old copy by the way.

Scratch this Timely off my "Most Wanted" list

Love that book Dino! It's a shame that the Red Skull made so few cover appearances.
