  1. Even non-camp coded Okajimas seem to bring premiums. This being a camp-coded, nice Kirby war cover, bright colors, decent PQ, and to me presents better than the 6.0.
  2. And another just back - it is not a Fawcett but it does feature some Fawcett characters. This is highest graded copy although it hasn't posted to the census yet. I have the original mailing envelope with it (pic below) and the back cover from the book shows the ad for the handbook.
  3. Just back from CGC slabbage - Kind of gruesome cover from the usual lightheartedness
  4. I don't have a scan handy of my Space Adventures #12 but that is another classic. And another is
  5. One of the classics for sure. You beat me to it. I was going to post my copy. It is one of my favorite covers.
  6. This one is pretty common and has been posted before. I have had mine for a while and as I going through some more boxes, I had forgotten it included the other advertising items and send-away card.
  7. That is what he brings to OAFCON - a few boxes of his personal collection and some of catalog/online items. I bought this Prize from him a couple of years ago - it was raw and I have since had it slabbed.
  8. You're such a tease And even if they are books I couldn't afford, your sales threads are always worth a peek to see some wonderful books. And awesome Planet, Rick.
  9. This, I did not know. To put it mildly, he and BLB have dissimilar business approaches and ethics. Little wonder that partnership did not flourish.
  10. Thank you, Corey and Walter. Like I said earlier, it has been an exhausting, frustrating, and expensive venture but it has also been exciting, fun, and in the end oh what a relief.
  11. And the #9 I kind of went/go bonkers on. When I started I was going to just collect the war covers of America's Best. Then I decided to try to get all the war covers of other series. I just ignored all the others, airbrushed especially. I saw them and just let them pass. So when I decided to try total completion, #9 was the first book outside of the war cover that I bought and just kept buying more copies of this one. I kick myself on not grabbing all those others early on because they weren't as pricey then. So instead of a single pic of each #9 - here is a group shot of all 10 copies.
  12. #6 thru 8 #6 is such a great flag cover. One of Schomburg's signature compositions. #7 is the Diamond Run (no longer CGC recognized ped)
  13. That's awesome. I couldn't make it last year because of some problems. I used to order from his mail order catalog years ago and it was nice to finally meet him and he is a nice guy. He is certainly a collector. When I see him, he is usually box diving into GA books.
  14. I don't blame him. BTW, he still comes to OAFCON every year. He and Mr. B seem to always have adjoining tables. I always hit them first - two of the good people in the business.
  15. DEAL. Edgar's copy isn't a doubler for me. The MH I doubt would sell for that multiplier now but still would garner more than the one that just sold. But forget that - my god, those are pretty books.
