I consigned that one. Glad it went to someone who likes it.

Most of my collection falls in this thread. Hard to pick a favorite but I'll grab two random scans for examples. So much great material can be had for a good price if you just look. I'm a big Dell guy but I'll skip those and go to some other publishers

Here's some early Golden Age picked up in the sub $300 range in the last five years. Big thick 64 page books that really capture the feel of the Golden Age of comics.

Great books! Most of my collection used to fall in this thread. But the passage of time has bumped up a whole lot of them. No way would I pay todays prices for most of them. I have always beaten to a different drummer and gone down the road less traveled. Seems my instincts were right.

Great book!

I just threw out the 1k number as a arbitrary figure. Point being a mere mortal can usually afford the book without taking out a loan or selling your firstborn. I figured 1k was a safe number. Obviously to people like Bedrock 5k or more is their lunch money…lol

A couple of Dell bargains from the last few years; the LOA was a $35 steal on Comiclink and was cracked out to read. A bit more for the FTP #1 but still a deal. I have found so many great Dell books over the years at great prices since they aren't mainstream.

I’ve only started discovering Spirit sections in the last year or so and these two are a couple of favorites.

I like the ones that have a full splash page. I'd never seen your clown one before.

This is the only one I own:

Classic Black Cat bondage cover.  My favorite of Schomburg's Speed covers.

Modesty is in the eye of the beholder or ...to paraphrase... the eye’d holder.  Anyway, SMASH Comics isn’t one of the more sought after GA titles, but Ruben Moreira covers are rare and solid hits art-wise...

[szav]

No skulls, bondage, or decapitation... just a nice cover with eye catching colors and a flow to the action that you can almost feel.  Lubbers at his best imo and my favorite non-classic generally unheralded cover of his.

I absolutely love the graphics used here. This just screams “old comic”!

$40 on eBay, BTW.

As Golden Age books go, Westerns are still VERY affordable.

Paid $300 raw on these very boards.

Absolute keeper

Possibly my favorite GGA. Took a while to find a clean affordable copy.  Besides the gorgeous leggy women, I used to be a lifeguard so it has some special appeal, and love how the woman in back looks like a giantess compared to that sailboat.  It's also weird cause the water looks about 3 - 6 inches deep.
