jimjum12 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Thanks, bro ........... this one is probably a 9.0, but a few looked 9.4 or better. It's amazing to see stuff like that still in top shape.... I don't even remember exactly what happened to my books from those days. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Readcomix Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 13 hours ago, 1950's war comics said: you are very lucky to have a LCS like that ! my LCS has nothing older than silver age .... and what little they have is priced at 3x eBay prices i have never seen a nice GA romance comic at an LCS.... i decided to pick a GA romance run to work on for the next decade lord willing ! It is pretty cool. They are deep in the forgotten genres, but it dries and drabs out a little at a time. Which is probably just as well! But sharp copies of GA romance are an LCS first for me too. (The First Love 13 is better described as solid than sharp, but with that one I'm just shocked and happy to find it.) I also notice that Tales from the Tomb is not too hard to find, but it's not common in nice shape, and all copies seem to disappear as they become available. All in all, a happy little stack! 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronze_rules Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 (edited) On a tip from a different forum member, found these at Costco today 19.99 each. FYI, don't call to check stock, they told me they had none left anywhere. Went in and they had plenty, right near all the DK Books.

ADAMANTIUM Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 (edited) Their kind of beat up, ASC for $10 is about 3.5 while JandP for $12 is same but might squeeze out 4.0 not too bad! Forgot to take off stickers, but they're from good ol' Half Price Books.... at least there was no shipping Edited December 3, 2017 by ADAMANTIUM MustEatBrains, F For Fake and badback83 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADAMANTIUM Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 (edited) Now that I think about it that Josie and the Pussycats #45 doesn't have a decimal point, could $120 have been right? They or HPB only rang it up for $12, twelve dollars...... I knew it was a first appearance, turns out it's the first appearance of the band and Valerie Edited December 3, 2017 by ADAMANTIUM 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
