Well I may have played some small role in the conspiracy, but in a good way! I sold 101 DC Mile Highs to Greg Manning that year, who in turn sold most of them to JP. In that block were large chunks of the Boy Commandos, More Fun, All Flash and Action MH runs, Adventure, Leading, Star Spangled, Green Lantern and Flash to a lesser degree. a few copies of WW, Sensation, Comic Cavalcade and W Finest were included as well.

 

I think the market may have been flooded for a minute or two, but most of it seems to have been absorbed. I'm not sure how much JP has left in hs inventory (he seems to be stagnite at the monent).

 

None of the books were graded and I was way beyond scarred sending 1/2 Million in books to CGC, but it had to be done. Luckily all went as planned. 4 of the 101 books came back with some light repairs, 2 of which I already knew about. One of them was listed as TRIMMED by CGC, but about a year later I saw it in a blue label with no notes. I thought that was strange!

 

Luckily I was paid off before Manning closed it's doors to comics.

You asked what the B.H was? I was answering it.

No, I was asking who were the "both" victims of the BH phenomena. Since BH was JP's buying agent, I don't think he could be a victim of his own phenomena. In fact, I'm pretty sure that he was one of the few winners (along with DK).

Yeah, but don't forget about QM, TT, and HZ. Especially not HZ, that smug mother 893censored-thumb.gif. Why I once told HZ that if he . . . oh never mind. FY would kill me if I told that story.

I'm pretty sure the other in "both" was Manning - though you could throw a West Coast auction house on the list also.

And don't forget MB as one of the winners there at the end.

Excuse me, sir. Seeing as how the V.P. is such a V.I.P., shouldn't we keep the P.C. on the Q.T.? 'Cause if it leaks to the V.C. he could end up M.I.A., and then we'd all be put out in K.P.
