  1. Not my image (too lazy to pull out my copy and scan).
  2. Herbie, the Fat Fury. He's adored by women around the world, friends with world leaders, talks to animals, able to defeat monsters and supernatural creatures, flies, and time travels. What's not to like, except maybe his father thinks of him as a "fat, little nothing."
  3. It should be noted that the summit of Mount St. Helens became considerably lower after the eruption.
  4. Why worry about MCS or the seller if they are willing to sell something at less than market value? They're selling it at the price they want and if it's undergraded (and underpriced), then the buyer is happy, too.
  5. I'm not comparing Super Pro to Night Nurse, as Night Nurse has a following and enjoys popularity now. I'm saying collectors are a fickle bunch and you never know. I was around in the 70s and 80s and 90s when Night Nurse was a running joke and nobody...I repeat nobody wanted it. For decades, it was in the bargain boxes along with the rest of the drek. There are some that collect oddball comics. Who knows what happens? After enough jokes, some start thinking, "I've got to have a copy just to have." Along with mainstream comics, I like the oddball comics. I agree Super Pro has very little potential, but in this hobby stranger things have happen.
  6. Like Robot Man, I usually don't bother with Craigslist. But I happened to check Craigslist a few years ago and saw an ad for comics from the 70s. I called up the guy, but he said somebody wanted them and was holding them for that person. Took me a while to convince him to sell the comics to me and I would be there within the hour. I told him my money was just as good as the other guy and that he wouldn't have to wait. That's the closest I came to an argument. I do occasionally check, but I see the same old ads (some from a few years ago) and way overpriced. Sometimes I feel like straightening them up, but then I come to my senses and not bother. Life's too short.
  7. I don't understand how people won't think twice about spending a few bucks for a cup of coffee, yet waver in a decision to buy a comic for a dollar. I'd rather forgo the coffee and spend it on comics.
  8. That Uncanny X-Men #328 is by Joe Madureira. Although Joe Mad has a following, I'm not a fan of his art.
  9. There is no shortage of people on these boards doing what you describe. You’re preaching to the choir. They just prefer to do it quietly. CPR is nothing new.
  10. Can't beat free. Unless somebody pays you to take away the comics.
  11. The Justice Society of America centerfold is from Justice League of America #76.
  12. Look at Night Nurse. For years, collectors joked about the book. Remember Brother Power the Geek? You couldn’t give it away back then. Now, there are some that actively seek it out. Who knows, maybe Super-Pro will enjoy the same cult status of books like these?
  13. If you look at the seller's Sold Listings, there's an interesting pattern. The bulk of the sigs are sold to a couple of bidders. Either the buyers are shills or very stupid. My guess is both.
  14. Too many questions and not enough answers. At least the OP got his comics back.
