Silver Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Nice to see Jimmy getting some time in this thread. That makes at least three of us that I know of that have complete runs now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skypinkblu Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I'm sure there are a few more who do;) I'm up to #31. I'm surprised how good some of the art is...and how silly the stories. I know I read these before, but I still find new stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I read these before, but I still find new stuff. I agree the stories are silly but when I first read them they were cool to me and remain like that in my mind. If I read an issue somehow my mind goes back to then and they still seem cool, they are of their time, if that makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skypinkblu Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Just finished this one. It's one of my favorite covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttfitz Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Some new stuff arrived today, thought since I had just posted the Lois Lane 15 and the Superman 132, I should add this one in. So that just leaves an issue of Adventure to have the whole set, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that just leaves an issue of Adventure to have the whole set, right? Yes, and that's the toughest to find! I've only seen 2 in HG. I think "steel city" has one and collector who doesn't participate in the chat room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tri-Color Brian Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I was at a show yesterday in Orange county, CA and met a guy named Ken from Las Vegas (inaflash). Is that the same Ken? I got some cheap Jimmy's and a cheap Lois from another dealer. I'll post pics later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 That's the same Ken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tri-Color Brian Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 OK...so you guys inspired me to buy some cheap silver again...I got these for less than $7 each yesterday at Terry's show. They actually look much nicer in person. My scanner brings out all the warts... : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevenrams Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) ah Lois 106 wish I could have gone, maybe Wonder-Con... That's the book all right! Congrats on owning the Oakland copy of a key book. Edited January 28, 2014 by Stevenrams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you did meet Ken at the show. I was there for only about an hour. I really went to submit two books to CGC. But I couldn't turn down the LL 106 that Ken was selling. It's a beautiful 8.5/9.0 copy. I'll be at Wonder Con for one day only. Maybe we'll meet there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tri-Color Brian Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) Sounds good. How will I know who you are? Should I wear a badge that says, "HI! I'm tricolorbrian!"? I've never even seen that Lois 106. It came out after I quit buying the title. Hmmm....might have to look for one of those. I would have bought more of the cheap Jimmy's but i didn't have my list with me and wasn't sure which books I needed. Probably all of them... Well, anyway...it was a fun little show. See the Gold forum for the 3 holy grails I picked up there. Oh yeah...I read the main story in #60...absolutely nauseating... I just can't read Jimmy's anymore...but the covers are so stupid they're cool. Edited January 28, 2014 by tricolorbrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like half the time I think I've got something good at a good price, I open it up and find there are pages missing, or coupons cut out.

skypinkblu Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 another cover I like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tri-Color Brian Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) That's a classic Jimmy cover. I have that one too. I need to get busy and scan all my silver books. I'm not content with just a list anymore...I want scans. I think this is another obsession... Edited January 28, 2014 by tricolorbrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
