Rick - do you find that GA is slowing down on non-keys? If so, what's your theory as to why?

 

Thanks - Trent

I do, if you are trying to retail them (if you are wholeselling them, they sell fine as folks like the "under" guide buying power)...I find that the folks that put together GA "runs" (those are typically the folks that buy "filler" issues) are getting sparser and sparser out there.... it is a financial drain these days, and in the cgc cover centric world we are in today, there just seems to be less appeal (take batman 22 for instance)...

[sandy reiser]

According to Mr. Owl its three.

 

But I don't buy it!

 

 

I would like to know what do you think the toughest Chesler is and the toughest Timely.

(Not counting Canadian books, Annuals etc.)

for me, USA 5 was the toughest superhero timely.... I know parker needed a Mystic 9 last, to finish his SH timely run... lately, they pretty much all seem to have been available at one time or another....

 

punch 12 is certainly tough....punch 9, too...

Star comics 5 is probably the toughest I know of (falls under the centaur veil, but is a chesler)

[G.A.tor]

do you have any superman 76 for sale-condition and prices?

none for sale at the moment... I have an 8.0 in my collection, but that is it...

Do you feel Action 1 is in a bubble? It seems to have gone up at a very rapid pace.

not just action 1, but all the major Keys....but, unfortunately, not a bubble...just a huge influx/increase of demand relative to available supply

[AnkurJ]

Do you expect a correction?

Do NOT besmirch Batman 22 (also known as "dancing Alfred cover"). That book rocks !

[batman_fan]

On a more serious note, do you ever get the 100pg Harvey books in?

Some (okay, quite a few) of the Batman's have pretty goofy covers. I think Detectives have better covers even if you drop 27-38 out of the comparison. (I actually like 38).
