    Surely this is just a used CGC case and not what is being touted?  (And apologies if it is a genuine CGC prototype to the seller - I will plead ignorance if they were given as gifts.)

    Was given to me from Steve Borock as a gift (free) to give an idea what slabbing was going to look like.  I cracked a piece off to send to Intertek to test plastic composition.  Been sitting on my desk for 18 years and is a no longer wanted so I thought I'd move it along with other #1's collecting dust. Years ago tried to start a better grading company of my own with other board members and went bankrupt so any last comic books are no longer wanted.  Gator, Filter and others could verify my collections as they have bought and sold my 2 Action 1s, 6 Superman 1s, Tec27, Superman Ashcan and others.  It IS as genuine as can be.

    Two of my favorites! Talk about jumping into the Timely pond headfirst.

    You get the Bedrock seal of approval.

     

    Thank you sir but i considered it more of a wadding in the shallow end--I was hemming and hawing about taking that marvel 1--now that would a been a headfirst. I really enjoy the cover art and bought on that especially seeing it stars my namesake. Do you now of any reader copies or posts that show the contents?

    I'm confused. Destroyer is showing Steve Fishler's office in the comic room thread? (shrug)

     

     

    i was trying to leave a comment concerning the photos and doh! erred--certainly not claiming as my own :boo:

    Ok, thanks for clarifying. Based on the subsequent posts, the boardies thought it was your room.

     

     

    What a bunch of rookies lol --- my comic room is smaller than a 1/2 bath--the kind you have to walk in sideways and bang your elbows when tryin to wipe (:

  4. I've got a "40 Year Old Virgin" cabinet at home filled with G.I. Joe and Transformers, and a little bit of comic art on the walls, but only so much one can do with a tiny NYC apartment. Here are some photos of Metropolis' stash - as well as some specs for anyone looking for the same type of shelving.
