That All Winners #11 sent me spiraling into GA books when he had it in his VCC last year. Such a terrific cover!

 

Great work!

allright, count 'em up; which one of you big shots has the most of those covers?

 

I think that GE has all of them.

I have 29. I bet you have about 50 or so.

Yes, those books are mine but I have yet to experience the joy of completing a GA run (even a small one!). Instead, I've picked a few issues here and there-- esp the classic and flag covers.

 

Funny, the other hobbyists kept thinking the CGC grade was the issue number! "Wow, Action Comics #7!" lol

 

Overall, the impression was that comics brings art, history and pop culture together better than any other hobby. Vintages maps with detailed 'cartouches' of sea monsters and mythology gods probably came the closest. Coins were impressive, shiny gold and silver with intricate engravings...but no nostalgia factor like comics.

 

Everyone was blown away by the bondage and Hitler covers. "Those are things you'll never see on U.S. currency!" :insane:

I hope you enjoyed seeing this as much as I did putting it together. Market is down again today, but at least we have GA comics!

 

Respectfully, GE

 

Loved it - great job (and covers)!! Are all the books yours?
