gorgeous! Indeed!

Great detective work! I hope the auctions can be taken down somehow.. Would suck if the winning bidders paid and not receive the actual book. Is Wilhelm Uthe still around? http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2885368&fpart=1 http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=3605334#Post3605334

I turned that around for you and added a few. This is an OT, geeky sidenote with a little background on iPhone photos. The problem with innocuous' photo is that it uses the JPEG-EXIF tag for specifying a rotation. Macs will show such images as intended but PC's will not. The best solution is always to remember holding the iPhone/iPad with the button to the right when taking the photo (which I often forget). Another issue with iPhones is that you have to remember to turn "location services" off in the settings, otherwise it is easy to see from their geotags exactly where they were taken. You can download plug-ins to your browser that will show the geotags when you click on any photo. You can then copy-paste the tags into Google maps and see the home. Quite a few photos posted on these boards have geotags. If you are not interested in all this, one particular scenario to be aware of is if you are nice enough to allow guests to take pictures of your collectibles in your home and they later post them online. If their camera had geotags enabled, any thief who sees the photos online will know the exact address where the items are located. Anyway, just trying to help. Great tip. Thanks. (thumbs u That is a great tip. Another tip if you are using Photobucket would be to go into Account Settings under the Privacy tab - Here are some of the options you select or deselect. Allow others to copy my photos & videos Allow comments in my albums Show where my photos were taken When I upload, permanently remove information about where my photos were taken When I upload, scramble my file names to make my links hard to guess And to get back to some group shots Playing around - I put these group shots together - getting closer to finishing - less than 40 books to go to finish America's Best, BT, FY, Exciting, Startling, Thrilling and Wonder. The stragglers are from Exciting, Startling and Thrilling - the others are complete. Here's a few -

Thanks. Nothing to compare to the high grades thrown into this thread although, I do have a San Francisco, a Rockford, a Crowley, and Pennsylvania floating in there. I think there is a Detroit Trolley also but I really don't remember for sure. And several I would love to upgrade at some point. Great books, everyone - Alan Light's Special Edition Series #2 (the Ray and Black Condor) that I bought all those years ago got me hooked on Lou Fine and after seeing the cover of National #7 - my OCD took and I had to complete up to #41.

National Comics - My freshly completed Uncle Sam covered Nationals and his own title -

Not a biggie but I got lost too from a few pages back -

My only copy of the title - when I was on my Hitler, Mussolini, Tojo collecting focus.

Thanks for the info. He's long been one of my favorites- would love to get a few of my Atomic Knights Strange Adventures books signed.

I knew I had seen Murphy Anderson attending somewhere and couldn't find it. Hopefully someone will be taking subs. I also saw that the following have cancelled their appearance at Baltimore. I had hoped to get Giffen on a few items - "Regrettably, the following creators had to cancel their appearance for this year’s show: Michael and Laura Allred, Keith Giffen, Mark McKenna, Sean Gordon Murphy."

Had this one for a little while now

Congrats, Joey!

Thanks Diceman - I was 15 when I bought that Kiss mag - I was kind of scared to touch it because of the blood printing I know you know but for those that don't - the back part of the wraparound is very cool too (The Justice Machines are cool wraparounds as well)...

Here's a few fresh from CGC - I bought all off the stands back in the day. I think the Acme was a mail-in offer. Not worth the cost of slabbing but still fun to look at. It just really reminds me of how old I am getting I loved the Justice Machine and really like Gustovich's art. The #1, one of the #2s and the #3 were from an earlier submission as well as the Kiss mag.

I don't believe you. Send it to me to verify. Beautiful book. I don't mind being the intermediary drop shipper.

Thanks for posting the list There's got to be more Nationals floating around out there. When I bought the #28 years ago on Ebay, the seller didn't identify it as the SF and I didn't realize it for some time after that. Some keen-eyed boardie noticed the stamp (well-hidden on the back cover) when I posted the book.

I'd like to see it too Especially interested in the Quality books that are known.

Great pics. I heard those mega hair dryers that they used caused brain damage

That's very cool, SOTI (thumbs u

That Space Vixens looks great, Nick!

So! If they are unattached they would get a green, but attached they get a blue, is that right? Sounds a bit harsh to me . I believe that is correct. I know CGC won't encapsulate anything loose, e.g. trading and 3-D glasses. There is a #1 on Ebay now that is qualified noting that it is incomplete - mask not included - here's the link - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Captain-Britain-1-CGC-9-4-1976-British-Comic-Mask-/140327545775#ht_3497wt_1166

I love them. I bought them in the 70s - I think from Joe and Peter Koch. I want to sub my 1 and 2 but the mask and boomerang are detached although unused so they would be doomed to green labels.

:o Rarely does anyone thank Joey for his caress. He's usually onto the next one as soon as you pay him. Slut. And I'm still smiling. Well worth it

Got these back today from CGC.

Thanks Nick - I really liked Gustovich's art and these mag sized issues were cool back then.

And the Cap from across the pond The archival paper slide really bothers me
