Popular Post Raze Posted June 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2021 I finally got a BIG book today! This is by far the most Ive spent on a single book. A little story about this book...I worked a side job for 3 months on Saturdays and was saving half for a family trip and half for my C2E2 trip in December and built up around $1200 for C2E2 not a lot but its around what I normally take. But I bought a few books and this is one of them, now Im down to $320 and the side work has dried up. Im happy to have this book dont get me wrong but I love C2E2 and Chicago in general and look forward to it every year. I guess I won't have to look for a copy when Im at C2E2! Also I need One more issue of Shock for the run (8) should I spend the C2E2 money and knock it out and hope the side work comes back??? bronze johnny, fifties, Mr.Fantastic and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you finally scored a copy before they stopped being merely difficult and became impossible. For what it's worth, I spent more than 2x on my copy than my next most expensive book.

For what it's worth, I spent more than 2x on my copy than my next most expensive book. I won it on ebay for $680 shipped ( I dont care if everyone knows its not like Im bragging! Plus tou could find it under finished sales) it ended on a Tuesday at 1pm. I think thats why I won it, maybe not. The biggest buy I ever had was 8 books for $700.

That book is finishing way to high for me. Now will you concede that O Eric has more to do on Shock? OtherEric and Raze 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Robot Man Posted June 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2021 On 6/20/2021 at 6:50 PM, Hiro said: For a belated Wally Wood Happy Birthday! (took awhile to dig this out) I have a Wally Wood signature that I found in a low grade Weird Science 19 that was bought on ebay 2011/12 maybe? There were only front and back cover pics with no interior pics. At that time low grade / reader ECs could be had for low $$. When I received and opened the book, my first impression was that a past owner had written their name on the first page until I took a closer look. Then I looked through the rest of the book! Also has a Joe Orlando and Al Williamson sig. All signed on the pages of their stories. The seller hadn't listed the sigs in the auction and when I asked him about it he said he was unaware that they were in there! So, he wasn't the person that got the sigs. He also told me he was 90% sure that he had bought the book in the mid 80s from Golden Age Express that was in the same building as Big Apple Comics in NYC. I posted this on the Facebook EC Fan Addict page a few years ago, so if there are members here you may remember this. Book is beat but complete with detached cover. Sorry for the crappy phone pics... Wow, what a find! I got a similar deal. I bought this one from Ricksneatstuff right here on the boards. He noted the taped spine and the trim but there was no mention of the writing inside. conan09279, Raze, Albert Thurgood and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
