Just got back from a NYC trip, and had two great comic book experiences:

 

1) got to meet PointFive and his wife! They came out to an art show I had in New Jersey, and I also had lunch with P5 on Tuesday, and we caught up on , what else, comics. He is a super nice guy... as you would expect.

 

2) got to go shopping in person at Metro, see some very nice books (and posters, and original art!), and meet Frank and Vincent, both super nice guys as well. Frank pulled a stack of books for me, and Vincent toured me around, and gave me the lowdown on the collection of art and posters in the offices. Vincent also gave me a great deal on a MISS FURY #1, below... a great book. Amazing eye candy at the Metro offices... there is a Bill Everett Submariner page in the bathroom you wouldn't believe...

 

(Point Five, no comments on the purchase, please!! Yes, i have a problem .... )

 

Anyways, good times!! Oddly enough, while I was having lunch with P5, my girlfriend claims to have seen CentaurMan pounding the pavement of Manhattan ... was this possible, Win? I know you were in town around that time.

 

Anyways, nothing like being able to look at the books before you buy them!...

It was really great meeting you and talking shop, Ryan! Come back to the Big Apple anytime.

When I was younger I always thought GA comics would be outside my price range but because of this place I have realised how attainable they actually are.

Beautiful copies. Are they restored? They look much better than 6.5.

Both are really nice looking copies. Those are the type of books I would crack out and put into Mylars. Great pick up.

Not bad for some Timley's!

[Silver Surfer]

Nice pick up Jive, I take it you got it up at a good price.

[Silver Surfer]

Nice pickup (Sub-Mariner #1) Koko, great looking copy at a nice price tag.

[Silver Surfer]

Not a CGC 6.0 but even with no back cover this was a steal.

Good enough.

 

Its an exceptionally nice book for a 8.5 with ultra bright cover colors and no discoloration of any sort.

I am sitting here in my comic room, and I have pulled out all of my Timely's. Three full CGC graded boxes packed full of Timely goodness. I kinda feel like scrooge mcduck rolling around in his money, only its not money its better(oh and even though they are slabbed, still not rolling in them). My name is Paul S. aka Mr. Schomburg and I am a Timely Junkie...ok there I said it! The only problem is I don't want to get better, F' the 12 step, I need a fix, oh and while the grade in my opinion is a little bit of a joke, (both Mr. B and I feel that a 7.0 would be max, and anywhere in the 6.5 range is accurate, He sold me the book) it just came in today and I missed this one.

Ya thats it baby, can feel it....all good....Nothing like the good stuff!
