Sounds fun. Might be hard to pick my favorite 10.

Ian,

 

Someone should start a personal photo thread where each collector on the boards gets to take one photo in front of their favorite ...say...10 comics.... and post them up with big smiles. I'm at work, so I cant do that now, but you could start the thread with your photo and let the barrage begin.

 

 

Can I take a camera into the bank vault with me? I can have the bank manager stand in for the pictures with my books. Otherwise, I can just superimpose myself onto the scans I've already taken and stored on my computer. I know it's a little less dramatic, but what the heck.

Ian,

 

Congrats on your amazing achievement. The photos are priceless.

I think it should be like when you are on the express line at the supermarket. About 10 items or less! I can think of more than 10 that this board may be interested in. I am sure you guys have the same...

The number 5 was restored by Susan Cicconi to near mint.

It's the highest quality example of a New Fun in the world, remembering that most of them are old tatty and falling apart. You never even see a fine, because the paper was like cheap old newspaper quality.

 

I know that book, and had several chances to buy it but passed due to the extensive nature of the restoration. It may be the highest quality example of a restored New Fun 5, but it is not the best example extant.

As a purely aesthetic work of art, it looks breathtaking, and as pristine as if it rolled off the presses yesterday.

Further reason why I so love restored books.

 

One day, gentlemen, one day..............

Maybe the architect could prevent any reply within replies and then we'd have a great retrospective of collectors and their varying tastes for future generations.

 

Great Job,

I'm just starting to work on my 10 favorite GA/SA comics. I'll post a pic of them when I own them.

 

 

Here's an impressive SA collection Stronguy posted last year.

Good Luck! Looking forward to seeing them!

Good Luck! Looking forward to seeing them!

 

It'll be a while.

 

I imagine it would be tough for you to pick just 10 favorites out of your collection.

I don't even try or I would drive myself nuts, though not necessarily for the reason you might think. I love so many different artists and styles that I find it impossible to declare only 10 of them as the "winners."
