adamstrange Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Some early Spirit sections from the summer of 1940. #1 is on top left, from 6/2/40, and appeared in Sunday newspapers almost exactly 68 years ago! Killer early Spirits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

selegue Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Wow, GREAT group shot Alton. Makes me want to run out and buy some GA Actions! Your collection sure has grown over the past year. Cool "D C" shot as well. Can you spell out "N O" with your books as an answer to guys like me looking to acquire some of them? Too dangerous. Certain people might think that means they're destined for New Orleans! Jack (Try living in a state abbreviated KY. No jokes there, right?)

Theagenes Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 my group shot has grown a bit since my post on the first page of this thread. I know I don't get any points for diversity, but maybe I'll get a few for collection focus. and this one is for Billy Parker very difficult to make a "D" with these things. Awesome!

clarkkentdds Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I owned that Supes #17 for about 20 years... I bought it at a con in highschool. I sold it last year via Heritage. Nice pick up Dude! (I miss it...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I miss it...) yes, Gator bought it from Heritage, and then I bought it from Gator. The Supes #17 has become very difficult to get in mid-grade, I'm sure it's because collectors hang onto that one more than the rest. trust me, this copy will be loved for many years.

fishbone Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Keeping in the original spirit of the thread: Amazing collection! How did you acquire the books? One by one over a long time, or all at once in a sale? I am new at this, and I have been buying comics one at a time over ebay or other similar sites. Pretty much one-by-one, over the last 2 years or so.....from a variety of sources -- eBAy, auctions, Metro, local store....just keep looking EVERY day and you shall find (eventually)......oh yeah, you might consider robbing a bank too!!
