What is the criteria for being on "your list"? I ask because obviously there are a lot more slabbed books on the census, than there are on your list. Is your list just board members?

Yep. We called them StingRays. Don't know what the official name was. Loved it. Never had a wheelie bar though. Some kids did. WOW. Just noticed the Bat Ray name. Awesome. Never seen one before.

Not sure if it qualifies as a toy. But in my childhood, those 20 inch bikes with the high handle bars and banana seats came out. They were what we all wanted. I finally got one and somebody stole it. I then got another that had a five speed stick shifter on the "groin" bar. It was awesome. My next awesome toy was a 57' Chevy. 2 door, 327 engine, with a three speed stick on the floor. I really don't remember any other toys, other than those little plastic or rubber army men that I use to play with on the covers of my bed that I had piled to look like mountains. When I was real young and running the streets. My toys consisted of a metal garbage can lid and a stick. We would play gladiator all day and evening. Swordfighting. Except when playing "kick the can". A game sort of like tag.

Wow!

Great deal on a Supergirl lot. Plus he threw in an awesome bonus. Thanks very much.

This is a list of my slabbed higher Gerber designated comics. This was easy as I have all of my slabbed books on file on my computer. It would take quite a bit of work to do my raw books like this. Perhaps I will get to it someday. After the --------- below, I will post my thoughts on the actual scarcity index they should be, IMO. Along with some interesting notes on some issues. Animated Comics #nn CGC 4.0 VG Cr/off wh E.C. 1947 Gerber 8---------probably a 7. Maybe an 8 Best Comics #1 PGX 2.0 Good Cr/Off wh Better 11/39 Gerber 7-----------spot on I think Crown Comics #14 CGC 7.0 F/VF off wh McCombs 8/48 Gerber 7-------probably an 8 Dickie Dare #1 CGC 4.5 VG+ Cr/Off wh Eastern 1941 Gerber 8-----------probably a 7 Gasoline Alley #1 CGC 4.5 VG+ Cr/Off wh Star Pub 9-10/50 Gerber 7-------spot on I think Gasoline Alley #2 CGC 4.5 VG+ cr/off wh Star Pub 12/50 Gerber 8-------correct I think John Hix Scrap Book #2 CGC 4.5 white pages, Eastern Color, no date. Maybe 1939 or 40. Gerber 8---possibly a 9 I think Marco Polo #1 CGC 5.0 VG/F cr/off wh Charlton 1962 Gerber 7---------may be the newest book with a high Gerber designation. A 7 is perhaps correct, although I have only seen one other over the years, up for sale. Racket Squad in Action #2 CGC 5.5 Fine- Cr/off wh Charlkton 7-8/52 Gerber 7----probably correct Rocket Kelly #nn CGC 7.5 VF- White Fox Features 1944 Gerber 7-----spot on I think Romeo Tubbs #27 CGC 5.5 Fine- Off wh Superior 1950 Canadian Edition (exists?) Formerly know as My Secret Life. Gerber states only went to issue 26. Overstreet states there may be a 27 and 28. So I guess in this circumstance, Gerber would have given it a 10? Since he does not have it listed, he gave it nothing. Notice mine is a Canadian edition. Tom-Tom The Jungle Boy #1 CGC 6.0 Fine Off wh Mag. Enterprises 1947 Gerber 7-------Probably correct, although it perhaps an 8 True Comics #80 PGX 7.5 VF- White Parents Mag. 12/49 no subscr label Gerber 7--------spot on I think True Comics #81 PGX 8.0 VF Off wh Parents Mag. 2/50 no subscr label Gerber 7----------spot on I think True Comics #82 PGX 1.8 Good- Tan Parents Mag. 4/50 Gerber 7----------------------------spot on I think True Comics #83 PGX 1.5 F/Good Tan Parents Mag. 6/50 Gerber 7--------------------------spot on I think True Comics #84 PGX 2.5 Good+ White Parents Mag. 8/50 Gerber 8-------------------------spot on I think, but perhaps a 7 Gerber states the above True Comics were "Limited Subscriber Distribution". Overstreet says they are "Rare" and "All possibly delivered to subscribers through mail order only". Overstreet says they all have paper covers. Hence the difficulty in finding high grade copies. In my own experience, there are some without subscription labels, but they are extremely rare without them. Notice how high my two copies without subscription labels graded and how low the ones that went through the mail graded. Thus, I believe Gerber and Overstreet are wrong in believing that they were only issued via mail order. Anecdotal evidence I know. But compelling I think. Twinkle Comics #1 CGC 4.5 VG+ Cr/of wh Spotlight 5/45 Gerber 7-------------------spot on I think Warrior Comics #1 CGC 4.5 VG+ Lt tan/off wh HC Blackerby 1945 Gerber 8------------no way an 8. Warehouse find? Comes up for sale often and several years ago, one person on Ebay had a stack of them for auction, individually. I offered to purchase his best one and he refused. Instead wanted to sell me a VF-.I did not buy. I believe he had 10 or 15 of them.-------Probably a 6 Sky Blazers #1 CGC 7.0 F/VF Cr/Off wh Hawley 9/40 Gerber 5------------should be a Gerber 7 I think Sky Sheriff #1 CGC 6.0 Fine Lt Tan/off wh D.S. Pub Summer 1948 Crowley copy Gerber 5--------------should be a Gerber 7 I think Negro Heroes #1 CGC 2.0 crm/off wht Spring 1947 Gerber 6--------------should be a Gerber 7 I think Is This Tomorrow #nn CGC 7.0 F/VF off wh/wh Catechetical Guild 1947 (no price w/blank circle variant) Gerber 7 ---------------There are variances of this book (price/no price/etc), and I think for this variance Gerber is spot on.

Sold him an ASM #6. Nice and quick transaction. Great communication. Thanks.

My ten dollar slabs arrived, packaged better than some 500 dollar slabs I have bought from others. I even got a free "chux" in the package, for my personal use. Great transaction. Thanks.

Are you saying that the 1.0 universal I bought here on the boards for 225, could be double that already? Woo Hoo!

I guess I owe Kudos to EvilAsh and Peter Palmer as a dynamic dual. Thanks for this great book, and a good grading call also. Received it today and it will be the highlight of my signature book collection. Thought it should have been given 9.9, but I guess CGC deducted for the scribbling on the cover. Thanks guys. Sweet book. (I think I can see bush!)

I just received this book (bought it from CDaBruce) and man, is it an awesome book. Full of pics of Stevens work. Including some one of a kind items he did as birthday presents and such. If you like his art, you need a copy of this book. Heck, even if you don't like his art but you like drawings of beautiful half naked women, you need this book. If you like REAL, beautiful half naked women, then you don't need the book, but you will want it anyway. Simply a great book from cover to cover.

I can be added into the #4 club. Here is mine. It is in a slab from the "other" company. 6.5 OW pages.

Wow. Knew nothing about this and checked out the link to the youtube ending video given above. Man, am I glad I missed this movie. Yuck big time. Give me Attack of the Killer Tomato's or Plan 9 From Outer Space over this anytime.

Thanks very much to FIREFLY for the excellent packaging job andgreat deals. I even got in the package, freebies that are probably better than what I bought.

Big Kudos to nvista for the three 9.8 Batman Cacophony sketch covers. Absolutely beautiful and quick. No "shake syndrome" damage. Just beautiful.

i sold a CGC 1.0 a few months back here on the boards... its around. (thumbs u Yea. I have that one. It is actually a very nice 1.0. Should be a 2 or close to it, IMO.

I never looked up my copy of the 151 until this thead. It is only about a 7.0. Strange. Everthing around it is a lot better.

Ha Ha. Just noticed that my link and the one above it, are the same photo.

9th pic down on this web site. It is listed as showing three copies of Action #1 on an old newsstand photo. Is this photo shopped? http://doclehman.wordpress.com/category/wanted-time-machine/

Don't forget my 1.0 cr/ow for $225 bought here not too long ago. I may be on the bottom, but I am here.

I am proud to say I now own this book. I left Kudos in the appropriate place, but I will put it here also. Lloyd Bailey told me I was his first sale on these forums. All went well, even though he is in the UK and I am in the US, there were no problems and it arrived fast.

Thanks. Better comics in your signature line. Much much better.

You are correct sir, and I am embarrassed. I referred to my "list" and I had it wrong there. My list is now corrected. Thanks.

I am not sure and I don't think so. I do know Dark Knight is trying to sell his 4.0 off-whites in the for sale section for $2200. (thumbs u And it's still for sale if anyone is interested Are you looking to upgrade? Foolkiller copy? Not necessarily foolkiller copy, but would like to upgrade sometime yeah. Need to sell a few more books though I'm surprised you didn't go for that 6.5 which sold for a very good deal. yea I know.. I was going back and forth on it, but I wanted it to have offwhite pages. I'm kinda picky about page quality. Besides, I wanted to sell my 4.0 first. DK, you ain't got many PQ choices with 22s....most are C-OW. Strange. My CGC 1.0 has white pages.
