Don Fioto Pedigree.LOL

Just kidding about the pedigree thing but I found a Mister Miracle #3 with his address stamp on the back cover.It's a pretty solid book in the VF+ range and was wondering if anyone else had any books from this bygone collector.Here's pics.

Try googling him.

 

I have a GA Human Torch 19 with a stamp like that. Turned out the guy is still alive and a priest up North. I called his church and left a message and he called menback a few days later and we talked about his books. He had pretty much every GA book there was including Action 1 but sold them in the early 70's for like 5k. He said he didn't want to but his dad talked him into it saying he would be crazy to turn down 5k for a bunch of worthless comics. He said whenever he sees something in the news about expensive comics it makes him sick to this day.

 

It was definitely cool to talk to him and find out a little about the bookmi owned and it's history (thumbs u

I remember reading that.Pretty cool.I did find that name.A real estate guy in New York.Also back in 1973 a Don Fioto wrote a SF story for Space & Time #18.I'm thinking it may be the same guy.

 

In the same issue there is an essay 'Midnight Swordsman by some guy named Frank Miller.

 

Google also yielded this,which is pretty cool

Neat background of a stamp/marking on a comic that led to the original collector! Also nice to finally see the Monsters Bill of Rights.

A great idea using one's name and address! Maybe we could do something like that for intended selling collection.
