jimjum12 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) One of my favorite dealers, Gene Carpenter, was in town this week. I see him every year at the Williamsburg Film Festival and he always has some sick GA books...... he was showing me some Platinum Age books that looked like they were just picked up at the newsstand yesterday. The prices are always double guide or more (on the nicer stuff) but he has those books you just won't see anywhere else. He's the only comic guy there.....and he has thousands of movie and TV related comics... most are very high grade. He had a Green Hornet 1 with the Bruce Lee photo cover that looked brand new. He had a copy of Ghost Rider 3 with the Frazetta exploding train cover that had to be at least 9.0 @ $ 1800......I was tempted....but that's a lot for just a cool cover. A neat show, it's got an emphasis on western flicks and just boatloads of western comics. I bought a matted photo of Jack Nicholson as the joker with his autograph from an autograph dealer for 75 bucks..... it's super cool. He has autographs from folks like Geronimo, Custer, Sitting Bull, Frank James, and just about any vintage celebrity you could think of. He had Hendrix, Hank Williams (senior), John Wayne,..The guy who played Mark on The Rifleman was there...... but he refuses to sign copies of Rifleman 10 ...can't say I blame him. Another guy was there who will take your face and put it on any comic cover of your choosing for less than 10 bucks.... he was very busy. It's a real neat break from a typical Comic Con. My friend Lewis turned me on to this show and was there again this year.... braving the Ice, Snow, and Wind.... GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u Edited March 8, 2015 by jimjum12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the 90's when I was doing shows I had a buddy named Les who helped us out. He collected Silver Surfer 4....... just that book. He'd get one when he saw it.... it really is a powerful book.

Buzzetta Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 What did I pick up at the Carbo show? Like I said elsewhere, nothing crazy. Thought about doing a GA book, but I am looking for something specific that I will probably make a play for this summer. Notable pickup of the day is the Larry Hama sketch and something that is not pictured. I asked Hama to sign a copy of GI Joe 21 and sent it off to Sarasota to spend the next several months. The page of art was offered at a price I could not refuse as it was purchased from the artist. It comes from Spider-man Unlimited Vol 3 #5. 6th page of the second story (or Page 17) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Hog Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Too bad you were eating soup and reading it before you submitted it. It is a really pretty 3.5. Great find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue808 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I've owned two nicer copies of this book before. My OO copy that was a straight sub 9.6 and a 9.4 that I sold on these boards a few years ago for what now seems like 7.0 prices. This one is getting graded soon.
