  1. Apreciate that Surfer! I felt lucky to get it at the time as they dont come up too often and I was able to snag it at a decent price.
  2. Thanks, IF-14 35 cents is rare, but compared to the westerns, it gluts the market!! I would trade my Iron fist 14 and Star wars#1 35 cents variants along with a few others for one of the western variants in a second!
  3. Im just glad I missed it by 800.00 and not like 80.00!!
  4. I watched that pretty closely, I bid at 420.00 with 15 seconds left, thought I actually had a shot . !! Without a doubt one of the hardest to find I think only one on the census and maybe 3 known total? The seller had no clue the rarity so his listing was vague.Some Dork tipped him off. He updated the listing generated some interest so me and a few others couldnt steal a deal!!
  5. Sorry about the glare. 9.4 inner cover 9.2 outer
  6. My latest Duck!! Cheerios Premium never to be reprinted.
  7. I just noticed that and read thru....great thread!!!
  8. I'll probably get laughed at by the "serious" collectors, but I really have to say I kinda like little Eddie Harris' signature at the top of this book. It doesn't detract from the book at all in my opinion and it adds a little "personality" to it. Of course, I also prefer high-quality USED stamps over MINT stamps in my philatelic efforts as well. To me a used stamp is more "honest" somehow. The idea that some 60+ years ago a little kid named Eddie was reading this comic makes it a far better collectible than one that was bought, lost on a shelf and never read.... Begin your laughing.... I dont think there is anything to laugh at, I I think most collectors see this as you do a bit of personality to the comic. I think stuff like that is really cool, it is more than just condition of a comic, its history, nostalgia prsonality etc. Seeing a sig from a little kid who loved his comic adds to all that! Makes you wonder if that "little kid" is still around? I wonder if there are storys around of old collectors being reunited with long lost books and it being verified in this way, by a signature?
  9. Thank you!! Maybe we should start a post specifically to show case storys that the average joe might never have a chance to read. You know the storys that have never been reprinted and probbly never will be. We could take turns scanning storys from comics of all Genres. It would be a continuing on line comic book. Would that work?? Any thoughts??
  10. I second that!!!! (thumbs u
  11. Kudos to Point five for sellin me a couple great comics graded accuratly and shipped quick and secure!!!! Kudos to the following for buyin my stuff and paying immediatly!! aardvark88 greggy vtcomics Thanks again folks!!
  12. Pretty sure this one counts. Will Eisners guide to the use of the M-16 RIFLE These are still produced for Police officers and such, but this particular one is one of the ones given to the Boys sent to VIETNAM to help them figure out the use and care of this weapon. Bagged and put in with there rations and equipment.
  13. I always understood this to be part of a Sparkle City reprint. I have similarly marked editions. That is how they were always advertised. Yeah but this issue is considerably larger than the Sparkle City reprints that were put in the Portfolio. And this is Polybag sealed. This issue is larger than Mag format while the Portfolio editions are about normal comic size. This has stumped me for a long time and my internet searches have been fruitless.
  14. I thought I would post this again in the hopes someone could give me some insight into the company that produced this and when. I bought it from a fellow Boardie who didnt know the history of it. It is not the Sparkle city edition, as I have a couple of the late 70s and the recent portfolios. This is a bagged and numbered edition that for the life of me I have no clue the History of. It is still bagged and dont wish to open it. Man if anyone could help I WOULD REALLY APRECIATE IT!
  15. Not aquired this week but recently. Anyone ever see these come up for sale? I havent and I track Turok a bit! Incidentally shocked at the grade on this looks way better than 8.0
  16. Nope. The noob listed his on the Bay Lower grade as I remember Thanks..You have a BITH as I remember, lets start the club!
  17. Couple of my Grails obtained: Is this Tommorow, Crowley pedigree Blood is the Harvest:
  18. The Atomic Comics Sticker??? Yeah I noticed that as well. (thumbs u
  19. I am a neat freak in every single aspect of my life with the exception of my Hobby. It is a nightmare in my comic room!!
  20. Nice room Argh! The spiner rack is cool I have a couple myself. Incidentally anyone who lives in the Barrington IL area who needs/wants the same style rack Feebay has one, pick up only 48.00 starting bid 2 days left. Wish I knew how to post a link. Just type in comic rack in Feebays search. They are awesome to own and display comics in. This one looks in great shape!
  21. Seconded! Bringing all the traes to read on my flight sunday. So by the time I return from my honeymoon I will have read the whole series. Guy who has the walking dead trades, has the Y the last man. Should be a short marriage.
