Sometimes you get lucky. I bought this raw off Ebay a few years ago - not knowing it was a SF (nor I assume did the seller since it wasn't in the description). When I got it, I thought it looked pretty nice and lo and behold, the stamp on the back cover gave it away. Not a high grader but it's still nice.

Great books, Hep

Wow - nice book, Joey!

Sharon, I have a child with special needs. I have gone to classes, support groups. Work with his class on a regular basis. I cannot count how many dollars have been spent on social bridges groups, tutoring, etc. If anyone has compassion for the handicapped it is me. It has hit close to home. I don't see this in Trey, I don't. Maybe he is a little off socially but the elaborate stories he concocts tells me he knows exactly what he is doing. After all the years I have been here I know Roy will be Roy so I take that with a grain of salt. I personally feel there is never a reason to condone any action based on the "handicap" card. Some things are truly beyond a persons control, but that is not the case with Trey. He was deceptive twice in the same thread first listing a cropped PGX scan and then lying about it and telling those asking to take their business elsewhere. I probably would give someone who was handicapped more leeway, Joey...but as I said, I'm not sure that this is the case here at all. I'm not exactly sure why people keep bringing it up. :shrug: He's done some really "dumb" things...but they would still appear to be in the normal range. As for Roy...he travels to beat of a different drummer, he's Roy. Personally, I'd be fine with a special election/poll for Trey to be added to the probation list with an asterick. I'm not sure that he qualifies for anything else, but I agree with those who would like to see him listed as a warning (not that everyone pays attention to the list, but it's like chicken soup...it can't hurt;) Sharon I hope you know you're one of my favorite people and I appreciate the latitude given to a disabled person (not saying that is the case with Trey) but one additional thought here. I too have a special needs child (it is not a learning disability). I would never want my child nor does my child (she is 15) want to be given preferential treatment. This is not to say that accommodations shouldn't be provided and accepted but to us that is not preferential - it merely levels a playing field. She wants to achieve (or fail) based on her merits and I applaud and am proud of her courage for feeling so. And I know you can't generalize disabilities nor should you so this is specific only to me and my daughter's situation.

Finished this short Centaur run recently - low graders but a fun title. That's one powerful magnet he's using on the cover of #1. He seems to have upgraded by the cover of #3 with some higher tech. He did like his gadgets.

I heard he was a lawyer. and not a good one with those slander and libel threats.

It would be nice to see a scan of the book. Many of the Crippens have dust shadows, some foxing, and relatively poor PQ (CR-OW) but structurally still sound books so it may grade higher than you suspect.

Awesome

Thanks - I remember you posting they were on their way back - you did pretty well on the grades, IIRC. These were my first SS.

Posted these in the GK thread but thought I would post in here too. Nostalgia took over as I won these books

Not really in my collecting focus but nostalgia won over as I picked these up in a recent HA. I loved The Arabian Knights cartoon.

Great cover

Great stuff, Cimm. Inspiration for Gene Roddenberry - Orion slave girls

A few more from the A pile (The All-New really isn't upon closer inspection unless you consider those alien-looking Nazis sci-fi and make believe the landscape to be some far-off space backdrop but it's a cool cover nonetheless)

Ultra-Man Rules

Can't compete with Jeff's high graders - all but #2 of the first six issues of Exciting had some nifty sci-fi covers -

Great Book, Doc! A book either my brother or I bought off the stands and I remember us getting into one of brotherly scuffles back in the day and our copy getting ripped to shreds. I was heart-broken - didn't bother him too much. He became a doctor (pulmonologist) and I still collect funny books

Finally able to add to my Avengers #1Thanks Pat. Awesome, bro

That is "Curly" Joe DeRita, Moe and Emil Sitka (who was to replace Larry after Larry had a stroke). Emil starred in many of their original shorts.

That's pretty cool, Michael.

Very nice! Thanks - hero JIMs might be my next collecting focus - I really like those books, but I've got a slate of GA books to mark off first. I always like perusing this thread - I get to see a lot of really nice books posted.

Pretty Book!

You're supposed to look at the chicks!
