ciorac Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Wonderful stuff Bill, your ripping through the Spectre run much faster than I am. No #54 yet? Nope Haven't found the right (affordable) copy yet I hear yah. Someone offered me $3,800 via Heritage for my old 2.5 copy that I only paid $2,100 for. Yikes. What you paid is about what I would want to pay. Restored will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat-Man_America Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 (edited) Thanks guys. I will keep the faith. Beautiful collection, Bill, ...and kidding aside, very nice couch too. (thumbs u What you need now is an authentic Eame's chair for the ultimate in personal relaxation while reading those FUN puppies (trust me on this). Thanks David. It's a sleeper sofa too for geeks that need a place, near comics, to crash. Which Eame's chair do you recommend? Sorry it's taken me this long to respond but I've been away most of the day. I recommend the Santos Palisander finish with with black italian leather (this one is like the one I purchased from Design Within Reach in Dallas and had it shipped; but here is the Amazon description) http://www.amazon.com/Palisander-Recliner-Lounger-Matching-ottoman/dp/B001AVPAWQ What I like about the Eames lounger is how it fits in with just about every decor while retaining an unearthly elegance, ...and talk about comfort! Oh, one other thing: unlike most other furniture, Eames retains or increases in value (NOT the knock-offs; Herman Miller is the only licensed manufacturer). BTW, that's a remarkably humanitarian gesture providing a restful place near comics for geeks to crash.

Moondog Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Here is a group shot of my slowly growing Fawcett collection. Not really chasing any runs per se, just buying affordable early hero issues for the most part. (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get a padded chair at Boscov's for $55 True, and you're probably thinking that I can get a padded cell for nothing, but it will probably cost you $500 more to have that Boscov's chair hailed to the dump several weeks after the purchase, ...provided it lasts that long. A bit out of my price range though Let's see, ...Eames chair or comic ...Eames chair or comic ...Eames chair or comic C'mon Bill, an Eames lounge chair isn't much more than one of our beloved 10c comics!

Flex Mentallo Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Apologies for the poor scan but I did so want to post an image of Planet #12 to #30 having finally pulled the trigger on a nicely colored #25 that plugged an age-old gap! Still got a long way to with the rivet run - nine more to go and beginning to wonder if I'll ever make it! Here is a set of thumbs: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
