I will meet you and Greg in Anchorage for the opportunity to look at your funnybooks.

But yes, Denver is much closer.

I have a nice guest room with its own bathroom and kitchenette.

my collection may only be worth a drive to Cinco Ranch, TX

Oddly enough my collection is less than a mile from Cinco Ranch, TX.

Crud, may have to find a place closer to you, didn't realize you would have to drive that far.

For such high level communications between leaders might I suggest Ft. Worth.  World pizza might even be achievable.

No.  I just tear pages off of the stack of Action 1s by the toilet and wipe with those.

Unfortunately I'm allergic to Action 1 ink and paper. Pep 22 works OK, though.

I only whipe my butt with the labels of deslabbed books.

Received these 2 last week just under the wire for 2021.

If it does, that explains the empty shelves at the grocery stores…

The two biggest GA books I bought in 2021 won't arrive until 2022. Below are some of the books I was able to add in 2021. 

I was lucky enough to find all of these books relatively locally (Besides the Spirit which I bought here on the boards from @ft88). My 9 year old and I drove about 6 hours to pick up some of those ECs and many of the others were part of an original owner collection that walked into my local comic shop.

This just showed up today, but was purchased in 2021. 

I've been looking to add a few specific Matt Baker covers to my collection for some time and this one hit my eBay alert last week. 

To my surprise, there are actually a few other copies on the Bay right now. With where prices have gone in this hobby, I feel like this book is very under valued. It's my favorite Baker cover and one of my favorite GA books.

The label says Matt Baker art; I don't think it's a Matt Baker cover.

My other big book was acquired three days before the end of that record breaking auction . Timing was everything but most important it was only short time after the birth of my first child I forever linked this book with him and will pass it on for him to enjoy many more years . Low grade but I’ll take it . A grail comic for me . 
 

AF 15 cgc 1.5 Universal 

Low grade is better than no grade, as they say! Looks like a copy I'd be proud to own. Congrats on it and the baby boy!

It would make sense if it wasn't. It's a pretty big divergence from his typical work. 

Any idea who it is?
