Comic 'lost and found' stories... 1 1

My local comic shop "Uncle Freds" is owned by a guy named Fred. I would be willing to wager he's also an Uncle.  

Anyway, he's a life time collector and as a kid he use to write his name on his comics. A few months ago someone out of NYC mailed him an early Journey Into Mystery with his name on it. 

The person who owned it must have researched the name on the cover and saw he owned a shop in Connecticut. So 50 years later he was reunited with one of his first comics.

I lost my Amazing Spiderman #1 about 10 years ago.........still haven't found the damn thing.

This guy I know sent a bunch of AF15's to CGC. Next thing you know, CGC's legal team is involved. True story!

Reposting here from BA thread - thanks to Lazyboy for the link! Most appreciated! 
At the last Berkeley Con (thanks to Marc of House of Comics, Wormboy and the support of the Brain) my intuition kicked in and I bought several books that have really escalated. Among them was a nice HG Eternals #1. Bujt danged if I can find it anywhere. I know I bought it. I clearly remember looking at that Kirby squared off art. But I just cannot find it. I may have to tear my office apart.

Now that prices are sky-high, a buddy reminded me of the time in high school that we went to Golden Age Collectibles in Seattle and he bought a TMNT #1 off the rack and left it on the monorail.
