I’ve wanted this book ever since I first saw it posted on these boards over a decade ago.  Just never actually went after one. 

And now, I’m priced out of a decent looking copy :tonofbricks:

Me too.

I find it mesmerizing 

Ever since I saw one on the boards I've wanted it, but it always ended up in the "I'll get it after" I  complete all my Warren horror. I'm still chasing some of that down. Now it just seems like its getting away from me price wise.😪

Not a book, but my grali has always been to own a working Gatling Gun.  I had a chance to buy a movie prop but passed as I wanted a real one. In the last decade, the prices have risen so crazily I now suspect i will never own a real one.

To be fair, if I had bought one...I probably would have sold it by now...and still be left wanting.:tonofbricks:

I mostly collect pre-code horror and WW2 related stuff, but I had to get my one and only true comic grail (Detective 31). It's the only GA Batman comic I have, though I'd like to add a Detective 35 at some point.   

Now I need my card grail (1915 Cracker Jack Ty Cobb in presentable condition). Don't quite have the $500k or whatever for the PSA 8 shown. :p

 Baseball Cards:Singles (Pre-1930), 1914 Cracker Jack Ty Cobb #30 PSA NM-MT 8....

(worship) You provided me with one of my grails, and it will never leave my collection. So thank you for that.

I keep forgetting I owned that, which is good, because I wish I hadn't sold it! :tonofbricks:

Glad it went to someone who appreciates it so much though.

I believe Oakman will be buried with this (decades in the future of course). Literally. 
 

I love this book more so than any of my superhero stuff. Well except for my  fine/vf AF15 that I only paid 500.00 for back in the day.

Adventure Comics #61 - first appearance of Golden Age Starman would probably be mine. That or All-Star Comics #3. Tough to choose. 

All-Star Comics #3 is an honorable mention for me. I wouldn’t mind picking that up either if I’m not able to get an All-American Comics #16.

I collect and have all kinds of comics. LOTS of them. Mostly GA but pretty much any genre is fair game. So, I have begun to set my grails outside of comics...

Now it's a party! That would be a helluva goal.😎🤘
