Hi and thanks for looking. I had a big sales thread yesterday and will add a few books today. As an aside, if you have an interest I wrote a thread about COVID-19 here. The most important points of the thread are recommendations to wash your hands often and observe social distancing, which I described in the post. First in the thread or via PM gets the book. These prices I believe are significantly below current market values, as was the case in my thread yesterday, especially for the raw books. Use standard PayPal for payment. A couple of issues with this thread. There is a chance I will not be able to get it to UPS in which case I will refund your money. Reasons I would not be able to ship the books are mostly if UPS closes because of COVID-19. I should be able to drop them off tomorrow. I will pay for and insure the shipping (overnight.) And no refunds on slabbed books. The raw books buyer can return it if there is obviously something wrong with the book that was not advertised (i.e. if I misrepresented the book.) But you must let me know the day you receive it, when you first inspect it. Also, I found out that PayPal doesn't like it when you pay more than $5000 in a single transaction, so for large sums please split the total so each transfer is < $5000. That being said, lets get this started! Captain America Comics #1, slabbed CGC 6.5 Signature Series Restored MP, signed by Joe Simon. This copy was hung in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC during an exhibit on how superheroes influenced fashion. Certificate of authenticity signed by Metropolis Collectibles accompanies the book. Asking $28,500. All Star Comics 8. REMOVED FROM SLAB. Formerly CGC 4.0 Label will accompany the book. Asking $28,500. Police Comics 1. REMOVED FROM SLAB. Formerly CGC 5.0. Label will accompany the book.

bump for price reduction.

Yes- FF 51. No question.

Wow- what a cool letter!

I can’t find this book on the ComicLink site. Can someone post a link to it?

#7 was my first and only one for many years. For the reason you mentioned- I could spend that money on comics instead! I can’t imagine how many times I read that. I no longer have my copy. I don’t know why I would have thrown it out. Probably in my later teen age years when I stopped collecting.

Believe me- in 2019 there is nothing in any of the first year issues of Playboy that a teenage boy would even look twice at compared to what they see every day on television, magazines, and the internet. And there are no fold outs! The "centerfold" consists of a one page nude photo. A few scattered other photos throughout the magazine along with lots of cartoons involving sex. And lots of Ray Bradbury, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, even Boccaccio's Decameron.

I have one more! This is a great piece of popular culture memorabilia. You can read Playboy and Mad magazine and it seems like they came from the same place. Both really smart, funny, culturally important. Playboy devoted many pages of its early issues to serializing Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451. Unlike the early EC’s, though, Playboy gave him credit for the stories!

I love this bound volume- purchased on these boards.

From bound volume likely kept at Timely. J.H. Compton worked as an editor I believe at Timely. Others have posted on these boards photos of MMC’s from the same bound volume.

I agree- I did not really think much of the cover and I'm sure I did not know anything about the artist or associated comics. And that is still the case. It was all Marvel and DC for me, mostly silver age Marvels. At the time (I was in elementary school) the cost of the guide (probably around $5-10) seemed like a huge amount. I don't think I ever bought a new one until 35 years later when I re-entered the hobby. Any time I found a bookstore I would go in and check out the price guide. And, actually, I still do! Just did the other day, in fact!

My first- I can’t even imagine how many times I read through this.

Great books!
