comicwiz Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 Hi, Comicwiz! Yes, my copy says all the above on the inside front cover. Does that make it a first print? The last determinant is the date (year) of publication. What year does it mention on your copy? I'm at work right now, but I'll check my notes when I get back home, and check back here for your response later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantastic_four Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 Oh man, that one IS good. Plus, you can take it as crude or not crude, depending upon how much you prefer to read into it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze-man Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 I collect wine in addition to comics. I have about 350 bottles at present. My focus tends to be on California and Washington cabs and Bordeaux-style blends from those regions, Australian Shiraz. One Aussie Shiraz I can highly reccommend is the "PENFOLDS BIN 28 Kalimna Shiraz 1999". Truely a fantastic example of why Austrailia is producing some of the best Shiraz around. Give it a try and let me know what you think, its fairly easy to find, and not too expensive. Zeman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFB Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 The wife of a good friend of mine is an executive with Southcorp. (which owns the Penfolds brand) so I've had it several times. A fantastic wine, especially for the price. I've had Aussies that cost three times as much that weren't half as good. I collect wine in addition to comics. I have about 350 bottles at present.

rob_react Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 I had a couple of bottles of the 98. I enjoyed that. I'll check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan4Fan Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 I collect story ideas... gotta a filing cabinet full of them. Some are in the outline stage but many are only in jotted-on-a-scrap-of-paper condition. Most are of modern vintage and are probably fairly common. A few are from the Bronze Age. There might be a couple of keys in there, but I'm not sure that I'm ever going to part with any of them to find out. Thanks, Fan4Fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nik Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 Besides of course comics, Original Art, (mostly splashes or covers), animation art, cartoon cells or sericells, Statues or busts that I say Wow when I look at them, and celebrity autographs. I think I need a bigger house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hensley300 Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 Lately, Ive started collecting limited edition busts and statues. Ive got two black stealth firefly GIJoe minibusts along with a chromed destro version, and cobra commander. I think they are pretty cool. Ive also been spying factory x stuff like iron mans helmet.

nik Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 Love that Iron Man helmut, I gotta pick one up. I went to my buddys LCS and he had this Huge ( I mean friggin) HUGE Hulk head for sale, my 2 year old was with me and she freaked, she said "dadda muster" (daddy Monster) in 2 year old talk, I am tempted but my wife will kill me, very hard to hide something that big.

ghoulaid Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Do you have any of the Sam Sawyer view master reels? They are clay or puppet looking dioramas. You might like them. Speaking of 50's exotica and record albums, you have stuff by Martin Denny, Arthur Lyman and Les Baxter? This is music I wouldn't be caught dead listening to as a teenager but now . . .it's kinda cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 hey ghoulaid, i do have 4 of the sam sawyer reels, i love them! Especially the one where he lands on the moon. I need 3 more i think... Yes, those are some records i go after, and i too would have thought them ridiculous, but i have been hooked for about 7 years now. I collect them in spurts, like vm reels. Really comics are the only constant. I did collect wackies, but sold most of them off to buy more comics. I kept about 50 of my favorites like brandyland, Famous mobsters, kook-aid & of course Band-ache! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
