My White Mountain Quest

[Guardian Comics]

Does anybody know what happened to the Pre-Hero White Mountains? I havent seen any for sale anywhere

 

Bob Overstreet once had tons of them in his collection but sold them off quite a few years ago. As a matter of fact, a fellow boardie and friend was able to secure a bunch of them as well. They do come up for sale every once in awhile though.

 

Actually Metropolis has a bunch for sale right now.

Jim, how many DC White Mountains do you have ? (assuming you want them)

[Guardian Comics]

Teddie: Only Marvels for me...thank goodness

[Silver Surfer]

Also I think Jerry Weiss recently auction a few of these off?

[AtlasFan]

I have a few pre-hero WMs. I also have some nice early issues of Forbidden World...

Time to bump this thread up with a new purchase

 

 

Thanks to Roy Delic, for giving me a call and telling me that Doug put this up for sale on Pedigree last Friday night. I was in Ohio for the show, and Roy called me Saturday morning to see if I had seen it.

 

I passed on this book last May when it was up for Auction on Heritage, as Nick isn't technically a superhero but I figured it has been awhile since I bought a WM, and it is such a classic Steranko cover, that it would look pretty good in the collection.

 

Jim

Sweet copy Jim!! When I saw that this book had sold on Pedigree, I was hoping it was to you. Now the door is wide open for Fury books!!

Had to go with the classic cover but I sure don't hope the Strange Tales Fury/Dr. Strange books start showing up as I'd really have to consider those

Well, I do know what happened to most of the Winnipeg pre-heros...

[Guardian Comics]

Well another one of these pesky little critters showed up on my doorstep today.

 

 

It's probably one of the nicest 9.0's that I've seen in a long while and am trying to figure out why it got hammered so much. Oh well, I'll take...it must be one of those newer slabs that apparently Mark H. has been hammering Keep hammering, please keep hammering. I'll buy every 9.0 on the planet that looks like this.

I was following this auction + happy to see you win it!! And at such a reasonable price too

[Guardian Comics]

No effing

 

You mean triple GPA high was a little bit excessive?

 

I felt much better that it is really a 9.2 in a 9.0 holder.

I was in Baltimore, working with our friend Mr. Storms. I set my bid on the Sunday before breakfast and assumed I'd win it. Anyways late in the afternoon, fellow board member Innocuos walks by with his Iphone and I ask him to see for me if I won the auction or not. He shows me that I won the auction and told me what I paid. Upon hearing the dollar amount, I'm pretty sure Bob pizzed himself. He asked me why the hell did I pay that kind of money for a 9.0 copy of that book, my answer with as straight a face as possible "because it has the number 64 written on the front cover"
