+1 I missed this thread the first time as well!

I guess I need to do something to get me noticed.

A brit and an american? Hilarity ensues. Of course, I'd tire quickly of waking up and finding this on the living room floor every morning. That looks like GACollectibles.

Yes, that too. Very inspirational stuff.

Cartoon Modern is a great book. (thumbs u The author Amidi also has a great site: http://www.cartoonbrew.com/ I spend just as much time on there as I do here. Hundreds of great vintage animation clips and tons of history on the classic animators.

That thing is cool. I have never seen that one. Am I too old at 39 to run around the backyard with one??? I still have one with the original box. I remember being in Utah at a K-mart in the sixties and seeing my father standing in line with one right before Christmas. That was when I learned the truth about Santa Claus.

I might have to assign some homework to Gator over the holidays. He participates in all the class discussions but continuously fails the tests. He does have good penmanship however. (thumbs u

Good to see you back BZ.

I've got a Dell XPS Computer running Adobe Photoshop CS5.

P.S. you misspelled "love"

Local thrift store this afternoon for 10 cents.

As I followed Ian's quest many years ago, I became aware of his difficulty in finding Buzzy 70 and it piqued my interest as I am sure it did other forumites. Why was that issue so difficult? I understand that these boards are a small part of the overall comic collecting community, but you would have thought with more awareness, a few more copies would have shown up. I think more collectors put that comic on their radar not necessarily because they wanted it, but because it was hard to find. I generally wouldn't look at a Buzzy comic unless it was dirt cheap, but after becoming aware of #70, any time I saw a Buzzy comic, I quickly looked to see if it was #70. If I was in a comic shop, I would look to see if they had one. I am sure there are other forumites who did the same, so there probably aren't too many dealers who attend cons that didn't have their store inventory checked for that issue. I don't swim in high-grade waters and my completionist tendencies are beginning to wane, but I still enjoy comics for the same reason that I collect other pop culture collectibles: for the thrill of the chase. I am out in the field every weekend scouring flea markets, thrift shops,used bookstores looking for those elusive issues. If I were to stumble upon a Buzzy 70, I would buy it (probably for well above guide) not because I am a huge fan, but because I "found it". It would represent the enjoyment I get from spending time with the wife pretending we are Indiana Jones looking for the Ark of the Covenant. There are many facets to collecting comics and you don't have to be a completionist or a "gotta-have-it" collector to enjoy a Buzzy #70.

That looks like the guitar case for an early sixties Silvertone Black or Red Sparkle finish guitar with the Danelectro lipstick tube pickup(s). The tan grill cloth covered a cheesy speaker for a small tube amp housed inside the case. I still have a couple of those.

The person who was selling the books for his friend is aware of CGC, as he graded his collection a few years ago and got $380K for it. The Vancouver Pedigree? No The Vancouver Kid Pedigree?

Nice artwork! (thumbs u I am not familiar with him, but will check him out now.

Hey, I can cook and also design woman's clothes and I cry at movies. ...but tell me, how? Because you like Coldplay. I like coldplay I'm gonna guess you haven't seen "40 Year Old Virgin"? oh, I saw it years ago, but I couldn't quote you or remember one line from it

Happy Birthday, Flee!! The earliest double cover that I know of is Mark Zaid's More Fun #42 (April 1939). Thanks BZ! (thumbs u

that 5guys burgers is pretty good too...yum 5guys burgers are last meal worthy FiveGuys burgers!

I wonder what is the earliest known example of a double cover?
