They all look fantastic to me :applause:

 

The first DC title I completed was the Justice League as well.

 

Which moved me on to the other SA DC titles.

 

And then on into the Golden Age books.

 

Now it just won't end :cry:

It was the early Justice Leagues that started it all for me.

I will admit, I "toyed" with the idea of going after the complete GA of DC...

however, limits have forced me to just go from run to run (compete a run, sell it off, complete another run, sell it off)...

I think I have owned about 75% of the DC GA over the past few years, and will still slowly attack the other 25% I haven't...

 

definitely "not" any comparison to Ian, but in hindsight, I might be able to at least say that i "have owned" them all (thumbs u

There is something about those JLA's that just stirs the imagination and the collecting habit.

Gator:

 

You are just talking about the GA comics right? What about Mutt & Jeff and the

non-superhero titles? Are you including all issues up to code or some other date?

 

What are your parameters?

 

Inquiring minds and all that ...

Which ones if any of the Action #1 through #10 posted are restored?

 

 

I honestly can't remember. 1,2, and 4 certainly are.

 

The restoration was so professional I would never have known. The number 2 was slabbed as a 9.0 restored, but I can't detect any restoration to the naked eye so it must have been seriously minimal.

Lovely? That's the first time anybody's ever called me lovely, that's for sure. No worries.

 

 

Well I knew it began with a letter "f", but I didn't want to get it mixed up with Flaming Telepath.

Interesting. Pretty doable except for a handful of books, perhaps. Thanks Mike, I've enjoyed looking through your site over the years.

 

hm. How many books would this be (all DC up through Feb 1951), roughly?

 

 

Exactly 2064 Regular DC books

plus 112 Promos/Giveaways
