BTW, I was just reading OS and under Double Action it says the cover to #1 is Black and White, so that DA#1 scan you showed us was either a fake or perhaps a copy that someone decided to color in.

I don't think so.

There certainly was a black and white ashcan of Double Action Number One, and I believe Gary Colabano has it. ( But also remember that the black and white ashcan of Action Comics Number 1 is utterly different to the actual released colour cover of Action 1.)

Then there was this colour cover of Double Action 1 - obviously created to the artwork stage but probably never released, although, contrary to what was thought before, the number two issue was most CERTAINLY released for sale, and there are now quite a few more than seven copies, although I still don't have one.

The colour artwork to issue one seems to be an original but unreleased colour proof, but of course that's only my opinion and I can't prove it, even though that opinion is based on certain facts.

Ian, I just went on PGMints website and his $50,000 copy of Double Action #2 is sold. But seriously I wonder who laid down that $$$?

 

 

It wasn't fifty, it was seventy five. I cannot believe ANYONE would have bought it.

He may have listed it for $75K but he sold it for $50K. He must have had a 1/3 off sale. Damn I missed that day!

 

 

Who in their right mind would pay fifty thousand for a non hero book that's only of any kind of remote interest to DC completists ????

It really doeasn't make any sense to me.

For that price you can buy a fairly respectable copy of Action 1 or Detective 27 in a mid grade.

I therefore don't believe it.

One package of 26 comics has gone missing from Rochester, New York, and I can't bear the idea of putting 26 back on the list now it's so low.

 

Has anyone else in England ever had a parcel that was sent air mail turn up after five weeks ???

Is there still a chance or is it REALLY lost ???

I had a package from Jef Hinds turn up after four weeks, but this is longer.

WHY CAN'T PEOPLE SEND THINGS THAT ARE TRACKABLE ????????????????

Sadly, no. But I did recently have a package of around two dozen obscure DC's sent to me from the US that I didn't order. Xmas must have come early.

I sent a package to England in July, and recieved it back this week? I had to pay an additional $23 dollars shipping, but since the item inside was worth $100 and I already got paid for it, I figured it wasn't a bad deal. Now why this buyer never picked up the item is a mystery to me. I know that this isn't the same type of situation, but it does illustrate that mail can be in limbo for an extended amount of time and still get delivered to someone confused-smiley-013.gif

I just sent a USPS International economy (ground) to Netherlands (from USA) that took 6-7 weeks 3 months ago.

Nic Cage building a new collection

 

Ooooh that's a nasty nasty nasty nasty thought.

It made me realise that it only takes one insufficiently_thoughtful_person with more money than brains and any chance of me completing my DC collection affordably goes out the window.

Has ANYONE found a coverless Mutt And Jeff 2 yet, to go with my comicless cover ?????

 

58 to go.

After spending sixteen hours wading through so much relisted stuff on e-bay that didn't sell the first time around, I couldn't find one single comic off my wants list on there.

I'm drowning.

Help......

Hel....glug...glug...glug.......

There are far less items listed on ebay at this time of year

 

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Andy !!!!!!

Have you SEEN it lately ????????

After yesterday's hotchpotch of fifty thousand comics being added, your market slump has probably arrived.

If SOOOOOOO many people put up SOOOOOO much stuff, most of it has as much chance of selling as I have of completing my collection by tomorrow morning.

I mean.... FOUR copies of the Big All American Comic Book ?????

FIVE copies of All Flash 1 ????

Nearly SIXTY More Funs.

It's just utter madness.

And most of it's been up before, didn't sell, and is now thrown at the wall again, just cos yesterday's listings were free.

Ugh !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And the only comic I needed (All American 89) was way too expensive, way too high grade, and about double guide.

E-bay has turned into a mess.

A very big Oooops there. I forgot about ebay's free listings day - but as you said, it's the same old same old - overpriced items that sellers don't expect to sell (or are even concerned about selling). Twas ever thus, anyway.

 

Normal service will be resumed forthwith.
