Post it in the announcements thread in the COMICS MARKET - SALES ADVERTISING section. This thread is to share your love for the books. Thanks! Tim Maybe there are some nice price variants in there....

A buddy and I hit a bunch of the Vintage Stocks in the KC area yesterday to take advantage of the BOGO, and I managed to make a pretty good pickup out of the dollar boxes. Yes, it is a first print. Very nice!

Just imagine what his wife thinks....

I picked these up yesterday morning at the north OKC Vintage Stock store during their Easter weekend BOGO sale. Cherry picked a shortbox full for about $115 and got the following books and a Batman Classic #401 So Much Fun variant all for about $20:

Oh brother! I can't believe Bart (Bush) would do that. I'm going to have to have a chat with him. I chatted with Bart thru Facebook and he said he had limited dates to choose from. We all seem to like the new venue it's in (Embassy Suites in Norman) so he's sticking with it. He knows he's competing with WW Tulsa but is counting on all of the older comics at his show providing a big draw. I will likely pick OAFCon over Tulsa because: A) It's a much shorter drive (30 miles vs. 90-100 to Tulsa) B) There are more comics at OAFCon than at WW Tulsa BY FAR C) It's much cheaper to setup as a dealer D) Buddy Saunders with mycomicshop normally makes the trek up from Dallas with a 12-16 ft. truck and fills it as much as he can with comics he buys from OAFCon dealers. And he's very fair on what he offers. I sold him all of my table longboxes (5 or 6) last year.

Whoa!

Contact Bart Bush through Facebook. He's the one who organizes it.

Isn't it boring getting all those books back with the exact same grade? True it lacks the suspense of opening a box and saying " WTF?!" Those kinds of submissions seem to be reserved for me.

I saw this in the display case at a local Vintage Stock store today. I knew I couldn't leave the store without it.

I've had these for awhile but don't believe I've posted them in here before. Enjoy.

Which series are you referring to - 1993, 1999 or 2004? 1993 I have 8 copies of Spider-Man Unlimited #1 from 1993 and none of them have a double cover.

I believe all of those Titans #1s are like that. They either have cover A over cover B OR have cover B over cover A.

Nice haul Kaptain!

Very cool. Never seen one like that before. I do have a Thor #411 with one outside cover and 2 complete interiors all stapled together but have never seen one of these.

Great covers and sweet mags!

Very sharp copies. Love 'em.

Nice, which print if you dont mind sharing. It was essentially this print (minus the text) Or the link here since the picture doesn't seem to be showing up? So basic semi-cheesecake-y slightly sexy elf chick. Nothing terribly inappropriate by any stretch. *edit* for some reason, it's not actually showing up on my end. Just copy/paste that link if necessary. That print isn't even CLOSE to being inappropriate. Most girls who don't like stuff like that just have an inferiority complex because they don't look that good themselves. I can understand why you don't like her.

Great book! I've seen images of this before, but what the heck is it about? It looks like something designed to appeal to fans of The Timbertoes in Highlights magazine. I'm trying to figure out who would have purchased it, like most B/W indy comics from the 70s it was more expensive than full color stuff available on the newsstand, and wouldn't have had much of a distribution network. In 1976 you had the first wave of underground comix falling in sales, and the other B/W books available were mostly sci-fi/fantasy oriented, like Star-Reach and First Kingdom. Sim lives in Kitchener, Ontario, which is home to the (reputedly) largest Oktoberfest celebration outside of Europe. I've always been under the impression that it was a locally-produced anthology title that "borrowed" the Oktoberfest name for marketing purposes... I have a couple of copies, but I'm not sure exactly where they are... Maybe someone who's got one handy could see if there's any editorial content to confirm this? I have a copy. I'll pull it out in the morning. I just pulled my copy and there are no editorials. The only text other than the comic story lines themselves is the indicia which credits Harry Kremer as the publisher, The Beavers characters credited to Dave Sim and Cap'n Riverrat credited to Gene Day. It was printed by Moir Hayes Graphics and Fairway Press. The main story line is about how the character Natter P. Bombast finds a document and claims he is the sole "owner" of Oktoberfest and forbids all of Canada to celebrate. Uncle Hans then stows away on Bombast's plane when Bombast goes on a hunt for a co-owner by the name of Running Lake. They eventually locate a descendant of his, Richard Running Lake, unexpectedly and to Natter P. Bombast's chagrin, Oktoberfest can be celebrated once more.

Now THAT is something to have. A double cover AND a 30 cent price variant all rolled up into one.
