BustedFlush

Did I mention I have a 7.0 Frozen Gold SA bought from a boardie?

SteveRoberts too!

40yrs will buy the first round.

It's time for Bustedflush, 40yrs, Spidy-on-tilt, Sniper, CapFreak, Innocucous, Oakman, and Grinder to meet once more for Dinner. Bringing party favours is encouraged.

You have two of my favorite books that drive me crazy. Jumbo 82 and Sheena 4. Those covers...!

Heritage love delivered sooner than expected. Three full page splash pages! Cole art. And the first book reputed to have adorn the nazi swastika.

If it ain't the luring Moon Maidens then it's the deadly Death Dolls. You just can't win.

Thank God for Wertham and Kefauver!

Hey buddy it's good to hear from you,new condo NICE! I was thinking about putting you on this list,but low and behold you posted here. I did'nt see you at the Yorba Linda show and got worried,good to see that your well. I came close to going to Yorba Linda, as I truly had a great time last year, but the day was so beautiful I couldn't get into the car. I cancelled WonderCon due to funds but intent to go to Anaheim next month for Wizard with Steve R and maybe 40yrs. Sdcon is a go. Shortly after the last comunique I bought a book from Heritage to feed the habit, a nice Top Notch #2 in gd/vg. Long Rule the Oakster!

Hey, I came in late. Any mention on Grinder or CapFreak? BTW, I'm still around, with a new condo, a mortgage, and scant funding. It's been three months since scoring my last book, the infamous Frozen Gold 7.0 SA, and I'm getting the itch again for the next GA buy. San Diego is set but WonderCon is a disappointing no-go.

Excellent!

Two from my defunct sales thread. One dealer took a look at these last year and said, "Horror's dead!" Shocking news to a Cole fan. I have a couple more LB Coles but these two are my favorites.

Looks perfect to me too. Chester should know better than to mess with Supes.

Human Torch and Batman GA. One last Super Bowl try. More Fun too. http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=3759079&fpart=3

Here's my Cosmic Aeroplane Thrilling #72.

Great cover.

Excellent!

Frozen golden KUDOS to transplant for coming through in a pinch.

The Frozen Gold (Mmmm) was from Transplant. The All Star is from Heritage. True goodness from the early 1940's.

We moved. Address changed, craziness with boxes and packing and no phone for a week. All that in of itself was wild. And no books. Christmas passed, then New Years passed, nothing. The Heritage win spent 10 days in a sorting facility in Maryland. It finally arrived, and then the 7.0 came, delivered to my father's place for assured delivery. Yesterday I traveled 120 miles all total to bring these books together. This will be the only time these two will be together slabbed. Two grails side by side.

It all started with this idea that maybe I could win a 6.0 blue label Frozen Gold in the Nov. Heritage auction for a good price. I succeeded and then decided to let the Barks-crazed 40yrs buy it from me for price. That's when the pang of regret bubbled forth, and I immediately dived into the Show Your Ducks posts one page at a time for a possible replacement to ease my growing sorrow. It was about sixteen years ago 40yrs told me about this particular book and got me hooked. The cover is probably the best comic cover ever made, color and design wise. And its hard to find the book in any kind of collectable condition. In the posts I found a 7.0 SP PLOD owned by a slightly disappointed Transplant who hoped it wasn't manipulated but found that it was. I PMed him and he offered the book at roughly the same price as the Heritage 6.0. I'll sell the 6.0 to 40yrs, take the money and buy the 7.0. Seemed easy at the time, but dark forces beyond a comic book collector's control were abrewing. The sea of fate was angry, my friends. Part two to follow.

Ghosts in the Grotto too?

Are those all Allentowns? fantastic 2 not a ped. fantastic 6 is the 'frisco. the wonderworld 5 is the nova scotia. i think the rest of the geek's group may well be allentowns. 4 Allentowns. Mysterymen 15, Wonderworld 8, 10, 13. Wonderworld 12 is the Larson. Most impressive!!! Absolutely incredible books, Richard! And not a single one cracked and read. (sigh)

That book shines like a new dime. More to come as previously said.

The house is bought. We've moved in and are down for whatevah. Bring on the Ducks! It's all up to the Mister Mailman now. More to come as...
