KirbyJack Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 So cool. I do admire a complete run, all in the same condition. It just reeks of a discipline I will never have. Sweet Lou 14, bc and TheComicsPreacher 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bc Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Well Guys, after a couple weeks of rumination, I've decided to pass on my PHM collection to new stewards. A lot of these books I've had for 20+ years and I ain't getting any younger. Over St. Patrick's day weekend, I decided to "air" out the collection from the Vault. After I blew the dust off the top of the boxes, I tried to remember when the last time was that I had looked at them. Judging by the layer of dust, it had to be several years. I then decided to update my database with the few new books added (and a few sold to @Sweet Lou 14) - noticing the last update was May 2018! While I did open every box and check out each book to make sure the database info was still valid, that feeling wasn't there anymore. Until I opened my box with my Marvel Mystery Comics & Human Torch Comics - that made me smile. So, I'm going to slowly add to those titles (and I mean slowly because it takes as much patience for the books I can afford to come to market) and enjoy the thrill of the hunt once again. The short box of PHM raws will be blown out here once my OSPG arrives (thanks to @KirbyJack for sending me some screenshots to get started). Gonna try and do some cheap bundles to avoid excess shipping hassles for both me and the potential buyers. I'll give you guys a heads up before I start the sales thread or feel me to hit me up if you have any gaps you want to fill. I have been picking up collected PHM masterworks, so I can still enjoy reading the material and have it on hand for research purposes (you ain't gitten' rid of me that easily ). But I'm going to shed the PHM's in order to generate a war chest for my Timely passion as well as add to my equities funds. Been working with Jason at ComicLink and it looks like they want to include my PHM slabs in the upcoming May Featured Auction, so I'll be taking a trip up to Portland, Maine real soon. I looked into shipping and insuring 3+ full short boxes, but the cost & risk of damage made me uneasy, plus I hear Portland is a really nice place to get a good bowl of clam chowder (I've never been there). It's been a long strange trip for sure, but I feel it's the right time to let someone else get the enjoyment I once did from this awesome era of the Timely/Atlas/Marvel saga -bc adamstrange, TheComicsPreacher, Jasonmorris1000000 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonmorris1000000 Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Hey @bc. Didn’t you have a registered Human Torch set? I remember seeing scans of some of your’s somewhere, but it might have been posts in a thread. I remember being blown away by them. I don’t think I’ve seen scans of any of your Marvel Mystery Comic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasonmorris1000000 Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 I can see why you felt warm and fuzzy when you found that box. So you’re going for 5.0 and better for the entire run @bc? That’s awesome bc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirbyJack Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Hopefully there will be a super-inclusive specimen for my budget. I would need a first page signature, of course. ( get that bc provenance, y’know ) Jasonmorris1000000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bc Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Hey @Jasonmorris1000000, if ya want, DM me your address and I'll send out the TTA 12. If it's an upgrade great, it's yours for free. Rather see it go to a fellow PHM regular. -bc Jasonmorris1000000 and KirbyJack 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
