Hi Everyone,

Thanks,

About Me

I've been collecting comics books since the early 1980s.  Expanded my collecting to original comic art in the 1990s.  I'm also crazy about platinum and golden age comic-related memorabilia: pinbacks, premiums, posters, advertising, toys, books, etc.  eBay handle is lansdown.  4500+ feedback since 1998 with no negatives.  I have had successful transactions on the CGC boards with @Ricksneatstuff  @goldenacase  @ft88  @Frisco Larson  @eyersman  @jbpez  @westform  @Eric10  @TC33  @Obrie2tm  @thejudge01  @Readcomix  @N e r V  @50YrsCollctngCmcs and more.  I also run a website where I document some of my vintage comic pinback collection:  www.pinbacks.com

I'll start the thread with a few books from one of my favorite titles.  My Dad bought me Uncle Scrooge comics (Gold Key reprints) when I was young, which directly led to my lifelong obsession with comic books, collecting, and capitalism.  This is one of my Dad's proudest parenting achievements.

Uncle Scrooge #14 CGC 8.5 $250

Animal Comics is a title that I've been collecting for a lot of years - and they are tough to find in grade!  

Here is a nice Animal Comics #16 CGC 8.0 with a gorgeous Walt Kelly cover offered at $200.

Next on the list are a pair of Our Gang books that feature Kelly and Barks art.  I also have some higher-grade raw books from this title available for sale.  If these two books get any interest, I will be happy to list the raw books as well.
