Look at the bidder history.

What is the story there? I saw that too. Bizarre.

 

What is the dark spot on the top right corner? Is that on the book or just a shadow in the picture?

That is a nice flag cover though.

That is NICE!

Nice #121 and 136!!! I started buying in the 80s. The .60 cent age foward. Wish i could have bought these classics off the stands!!!

 

Yeah, but then you'd have to be really freakin' old like me.

 

And me...

Me too. It was a good time to be reading Marvel though...

Nice series of Detectives Arex! (thumbs u

This is the one and only Nova #25 SS, signed by Marv Wolfman. Nova was my favorite character as a kid and I think this is the best cover in the series. Since Marv was the one who created and wrote the original Nova series, there's no one better to have signed it...though given the chance I may have to see if I can add Carmine Infantino or Keith Pollard's signature!

Let me offer the following preface: I've only been here a few months and already feel a real sense of community. I can't wait to meet several of the people I've chatted with here in person. All of that said,

 

I get the real feeling that people most too much really personal information here. I only recently put up a photo of my wife and I. But I figured that anyone who was dedicated enough, not that anyone would be interested, could track down a photo of me by knowing my profession and location. However, I will not post pictures of my kids here. I may know you, the person reading this post, but I don't know that other guy reading this post. You know the one, the new member, the guest browsing, the creepy member I've never met.

 

I would encourage people to remember that posting here is not quiet nor confidential. It's akin to opening your window of a downtown apartment and screaming your information to the throngs of people below. Only magnify that by 10x. I can not fathom revealing some of the most intimate of details that people talk about here all the time.

 

I understand that people feel comfortable here and that this is a little community. Two caveats. First, what you say is here practically forever between CGC's server retention and Google's cache. It may never go away. Second, you don't know everyone reading your post.

 

I don't think my little post is going to dissuade anyone here from putting up a family shot of them and their kids or divulging that their wife just left them. I would just ask you to consider that there are members here who don't readily divulge specific books they are collecting for fear of having others get in a bidding war with them. Is your personal info any less important?

Great points Transplant! (thumbs u

I've noticed some posts that had more info than I would ever share online but never thought to post a thread like this. This is a great community and it's easy to share info so not sharing too much is a great point to remember.

When is the Forum Party at the Tiki Hut?

I can almost taste the Rum-infused drinks...

Acquired my first Timely Cap, Issue #6:

 

 

Beautiful copy and SO much activity on the cover (guy hanging, nazi shooting, weird guy throwing an axe, Bucky with a noose around his neck, a nazi dropping a skull, Cap...Yeesh!)

I asked my wife if I could put my books in our office. No dice.. Oh well.. tried...

 

 

 

 

 

Dude, don't allow that female to own you, break out that pimp hand, brother

 

Spoken like a true single person!

 

 

 

 

 

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, i'm married with two kids

 

and my post is called, a joke, ya know, tongue meet cheek kind of thing? guess some are slow on the up take...

Mine was all tongue in cheek as well. Saw your avatar and the comment and jumped to the one conclusion. The other one was that you are VERY married. Guess the "make my tone clear" button didn't work on that post...

Marvel #1. When I was a kid (and a huge Marvel fan), I thought it was the ultimate comic.

Now I see it's a true key issue, like Detective 27 or Action 1. Batman #1 is a notch lower on my scale, though I'd love to get a Batman #1 someday...

I see your point, it just doesn't bother me.

Ditto

That is SO different than any other EC cover I've ever seen. Frazetta, I assume?

Those are some pretty creepy covers. Nice! (thumbs u

I'm sure Fox wouldn't shut down your website or send a cease and desist order if you wanted to use Simpsons characters for anything, even an "I love the Simpsons" site.

Superman should be safe too...and Batman.

These days I wouldn't believe any characters are in the public domain. Even if a lawyer told you it's a safe bet then someone would want to file suit...

I tend to like good Gil Kane covers too. Nice pick-up Doc! (thumbs u

Absolutely, GL 1. (thumbs u

I got these on the latest CLink auction. The first one is WWII (but from the Golden Age) and the Wings is just barely pre-SA. My first war comics (WWII and Cold War...it was a war...sort of...) and I'm just looking for an excuse to post them.

Apologies to Silver Age War Comic purists who would prefer no GA books...

Awesome collection!

Action 66 & 76 are 2 of my favorite covers from the GA Actions. Nice! (thumbs u

Nice! (thumbs u

good god, there might be a thing called "too much".

Agreed

Nice post Scrooge! Looks like Mr. Whelan was a fan of Bulletman since his character has a serious replica of Bulletman's helmet!

Nice! I had seen that one but found too many others I just had to bid on.

This Don Winslow was one I'd missed out on previously and had to get this time.

Awesome work. Nice Job!

Very nicely organized!
