  1. odd how my pedigree is so much prettier than your pedigree. and the pq on yours---yuck. Aside from being a Commonwealth, Pennsylvania rules!
  2. Super kudos to shiverbones for another great postcard!
  3. Is this fact or conjecture? I can see an argument that the pulp paper may require less heat/pressure/time than sturdier paper to press out imperfections. If increased time at elevated heat and pressure increases the potential for damage, then it may be that pressing cheaper paper could be less damaging, assuming the presser knows to limit the time.
  4. Received this set of Fight books from Heritage. Neat books. Unfortunately, they're not the set of Fights I was supposed to receive. Still waiting to hear back from Heritage.
  5. Way cool! And a book from the Guy Holcombe collection at that.
  6. (thumbs u - this guy is worse than Cap Freak 5th Hall of Shame member... AlleyBat seems kinda lonely on his list ...
  7. The story was OK, if a little convoluted. It's not an origin story, in case you were wondering.
  8. Send it here. It'll probably go from CA to NY to Harrisburg, PA before getting here. For a bona-fide test, I recommend sending that ASM 121. Ok, I'll put the 'Tec 27 back in the box and use the ASM 121 szelim - Pm me your addy. I'm going to send out a slab to you with just the mailing label via USPS priority mail. I'll post in the general thread with which comic I'll be sending. Brian

  10. You make it sound like an afterthought. I appreciate the pre-Batman Detectives, but as for me--give me Batman Detectives any day of the week. Beautiful copy. I believe I have a book or two with that SN on the cover. I'll have to peruse my collection one day. And I love the yellows on your 72!! Congrats! The Batman Tecs are of course what made the Tecs a hit, no question there. But I find the other stories in the old Tecs just as neat. It's an opportunity to read hero stories people were into back then, before superhero stories completely dominated hero comics.
  11. Acquired this 20 from 143ksk. My first pre-Batman Tec.
  12. Kudos once again to 143ksk, this time for selling to me a pair of great GA Tecs, including my first pre-Bats issue.
  13. Tomorrow's a work day! And it'll probably be a long one for me.
  14. Still waiting for the conclusion of this story.
  15. If it turns out that Cap_Freak is stiffing buyers, this would be a disheartening revelation. It would make me regret the effort undertaken to send him that uncut cardsheet as appreciation for him organizing the Secret Santa.
  16. Super kudos to slym2none for bomb-proof shipment of a stack of moderns - went well above the call of duty for this.
  17. No slouches there ML! (thumbs u I especially like the All Select 5 I concur. These are great books!
  18. Planets are always worth repeat viewings.
  19. agreed; gotta love planets. i love big green guys, too. When you're totally green, you likely aren't as concerned about getting a green dress.

  21. Awesome!!! I had been wondering what issue #1 was a reprint of. I had seen 3 and 4 as being reprints of 63 and 64, respectively. My #2 is a reprint of 61 (yes, just looking for an excuse to show this again ).
