Ridiculously Rare DC Giveaways And Premiums 5 5

[Ian_Levine]

They also have an All American 89 but for $450.00.

 

You wonderful star.

The one on e-bay is nearly nine hundred.

Thankyou

[Ian_Levine]

This site has a good amount of Superman Tim starting from $22.00 and going up to $250.00. They also have an All American 89 but for $450.00.

 

That site is closed. It was John Verzyl's brother Frank, and he was selling them for John, and the list was from 2003 and they're long long sold.

Oh well.......

Back to the sickeningly overpriced All American 89 on e-bay.

[Metarog]

How very I also wanted a couple of comics from that site. Oh well, hopefully Lee's Comics can find some on your list.

[Metarog]

Ian, go to this site for a Shazam Visits Oregon for $10.00. Hope you have better luck with this site. They may have others too. Happy New Year!

Metarog, you are just so awesome when it comes to tracking down stuff off my wants list. I should employ you as a full time detective. I'll bet I'd complete my collection in a month.

I don't yet know if they have this Shazam promo available, but I e-mailed them. Curiously, they list it as being from the 1940s when in fact it's supposed to be from 1989. Having said that, Overstreet mentions 1943 in the title of the book. Curious !!!!!!!

Funnily enough, Joe Verenault told me to try Terrys, but every time I phoned them they were just on an answerphone, so I never yet got to speak to them. If I remember, the guy has a business partner who also sells comics in Philadelphia.

 

Anyway, your efforts to help my mission are so very very very much appreciated.

 

Thanks and happy New Year.

 

What's your name, by the way, other than Metarog

[greggy]

I believe that I have the Shazam visits Oregon book if it's not available at Terry's Comics. LMK if it's not available!

I know Terry. I see him every month at the Los Angeles show. He has a lot of low grade Golden Age.

 

Timely

[greggy]

I believe that I have the Shazam visits Oregon book if it's not available at Terry's Comics. LMK if it's not available!

 

Plus...if you really want this book, you can save on postage, as I can send it off with the 2 GA Flash books that you recently reserved with odin88.

Wow what a fabulous cover.

I have e-mailed Terry's.

If they either don't reply or don't have it, please may I buy this copy off you ?

[Ian_Levine]

I know Terry. I see him every month at the Los Angeles show. He has a lot of low grade Golden Age.

 

Hi West. Next time you see him, would you tell him who I am, and ask if he'd be willing to help me with my quest I would really appreciate it.

[Ian_Levine]

As there is so much combined knowledge on this forum, please please can any of you tell me about any obscure DC giveaways, premiums, previews, computer game comics, toy insert comics, etc etc etc that I might not know about ?

If anyone can indeed do so, this would be the most enormous help to me.

 

THANKYOU.

DC Title Chronology

 

 

[Bronty]

Five stars for your help with Ian's quest and your general knowledge!

[Ian_Levine]

This site has a title by title chronology of all DC titles including giveaways, premiums, fanzines, etc.

 

That's Mike McVoiles DC Index.

I used that as my starting point but there's still a lot missing from his list.

[Ian_Levine]

Anything new to you on this list?

 

That again is the DC index list.

I have about a hundred items not on that list.

A few errors to point out while I look down the list................

 

nn Batman (Act II Popcorn mini-comic) 1998

 

THERE ARE AT LEAST TWO OF THESE

 

nn Batman:Canadian Multicultural Custom 1992

 

THIS SHOULD BE CALLED ZELLERS - A WORD TO THE WISE

 

nn Batman (Claritan Edition) 1999

2 Elsons Presents 1981

3 Elsons Presents 1981

4 Elsons Presents 1981

5 Elsons Presents 1981

6 Elsons Presents 1981

 

THESE SIX WERE NOT GIVEAWAYS BUT SPECIALLY PACKAGED DC COMICS EXCLUSIVELY FOR ELSONS TO SELL. THE SET I BOUGHT OFF MICHAEL GOLDMAN WERE ALL NEAR MINT CGC SLABBED.

THERE WERE ALSO SIX LIONEL PLAYWORLD COMICS WHICH LOOKED EXACTLY IDENTICAL TO THE ELSONS BUT HAVE LIONEL PLAYWORLD ON THE COVER INSTEAD OF ELSONS, AND HAVE DIFFERENT INTERIORS. I'VE ONLY EVER SEEN THREE OF THESE AND THEY'RE NOT LISTED ANYWHERE.

Then the ashcans like Dark Joker The Wild, Batman Grendel, Man Of Steel MPI edition. The list is just endless, and none of us knows it all.............

I need help in finding out about more.

[Ian_Levine]

As there is so much combined knowledge on this forum, please please can any of you tell me about any obscure DC giveaways, premiums, previews, computer game comics, toy insert comics, etc etc etc that I might not know about ?

If anyone can indeed do so, this would be the most enormous help to me.

 

There is another English guy called Earl J. Davis, who knows even more about the DC giveaways and premiums than I do. He has something to do with the Comic Price Guide forums. I wish he'd come on here and join in this discussion.

 

 

[Warlord]

Nothing new to you then. Ah well, too bad.

 

I didn't realize the source of the list was that DC Index. I picked it up from here.

That's Earl Davis's forum, the guy I was just talking about.

But this list was just pasted off Mike McVoiles list.

You can tell because Claritin is misspelt as Claritan every time.
