If there is a thread on the new reporting requirement, I did not see it so apologies and point me to it. I assume consignments are not affected by the new requirement. Not that you avoid paying taxes on profits from consignments. And yes I know this is best addressed to a tax expert but just curious if anyone has thoughts. So I consign a book and and the winner pays with either PP or Venmo, the consignee is the payee and in no way is the transaction passed to the to the consignor? The consignor wouldn't receive a 1099 if transactions over year are $600 or greater, correct? Payment would be received from the consignee and the consignor would calculate tax impact (profit/loss) through self-reporting. Not sure if this makes sense - I am going to be a first time consignor and have just been reading about the new requirement.

Plop was ahead of its time.

All of my collection has been based on that which, of course, is why it is worthless

Not that it is rare in high grade but when I was still collecting BA books, that was a series I was going after in 9.6/9.8 just because it was a series I read in the 70s. I have 4 issues with a 9.8 of #1. I am still waiting on Skull the Slayer which embarrassingly was a favorite of mine in the 70s because it had an ERB feel to it. That one I just lack a #3 in 9.8.

Kind of a trick - he was the voice of the Human Torch in 1970s Fantastic Four radio show. A fun listen if you have never heard them before.

So the second Marvel Comics character he will have been.

Really nice set of books. All unread with unbroken spines and clean pages. I bought these for my daughter and she never touched them - one of phases as teen-ager. Really unsure how to price these. I looked and could not find a lot of samples. Amazon sellers had some issues available as did Ebay. Most prices ranged between $10-$20 but those were for books in lower condition than these so I thought I would try just under $20 per book but will accept reasonable offers and/or pricing advice. So I am unsure if these are in demand and what price would be a good ask. I also realize ask prices on Ebay and Amazon don't necessarily reflect value. I can ship within the US and all should fit in a medium flat rate USPS priority mail box which looks like $15.50. Going to try $300 plus the $15.50 for US shipping. PP Goods/Services. No returns. First I'll take in thread will get it and will beat any PM offers that have not been consummated.

Hi Bats Methinks that was not a collector - a speculator with too little knowledge and too much money.

I had stopped buying new comics in the mid to late 80s. I did read the Moore run and it is fabulous. I wasn't buying many DCs in the 70s but loved Wrightson's art.

It has long been one if not m favorite BA story. Bats, Wein/Wrightson, ST, and a puppy. I forget exactly when or where - probably a TBG ad, I bought a stack of Wrightson Swamp Things - they were/are in really nice condition. I slabbed a few and actually had a few SS. The best I got on the #7 was 9.6 on both copies I subbed.

I need to rewatch Big Bang again. We actually had that too. I think mine was the Snowman (Frosty?) and his was the Snoopy. He had a Snoopy metal domed lunchbox. Mine was a Gentle Ben.

I had that Snow Cone maker or at least a similar version of it.

Iconic.

The Blighty reminds me of this

On GCD, it shows they only did seven books: Series Year Issues Covers Published Crimes by Women [m] 1952 1 issues (1 indexed) Gallery 1954? Famous Crimes 1952 1 issues (1 indexed) Gallery 1954? Inside Crime [m] 1952 1 issues (1 indexed) Gallery 1954? My Love Secret [m] 1952 1 issues (1 indexed) Gallery 1954? Western Killers [m] 1952 1 issues (1 indexed) Gallery 1954? Western Thrillers [m] 1952 1 issues (1 indexed) Gallery 1954 ? Women Outlaws [m] 1952 1 issues (1 indexed) Gallery 1954? If you read the notes on the Crimes by Women, it does have a little information. I did not go through all of them but it appears they are reprints of earlier stories. And by the way, GCD shows as M.S. Dist. not M.S. Publishing as there was an M.S. Publishing that had a few platinum age showing on GCD but CGC apparently shows it as M.S. Pub. as you list. I saw a slabbed copy on HA of Western Thrillers #52. Series Year Issues Covers Published Home Sweet Home 1925 1 issues (0 indexed) Gallery 1925 Life's Little Jokes 1924 1 issues (0 indexed) Gallery 1924 ? Little Napoleon 1924 1 issues (0 indexed) Have 1 (Need 1) 1924 ? Reg'lar Fellers 1925 1 issues (0 indexed) Gallery 1925 I know not much help and probably all you already knew but it made me curious too.

I saw that and I know I have been out of the game for a while but I cannot imagine that is a 20K book. I guess it got CPRed from an 8.0 to this. I wonder what offer would be considered.

Thanks for sharing your story @John Worley I bought that book off the stands. I was in 8th grade, I believe. Even then, I heard about the blood -- I am embarrassed I was scared to read it thinking I might get some disease. Alas, I have always been a germophobic. I actually had it graded some time ago. I think I read about the blood in one of those Marvel Scholastic mags like Dynamite. My copy in the spoiler

I actually have never seen that book before.

Ok so I read RHG's response and was down with the ornament theory now I am looking for the grassy knoll.

I see it now. I saw the guy clutching his throat (like gasping for air) and my mind (what little there is left) went to a diving bell. @IngelsFan Christmas ornament it is.

Thanks so much.
