ciorac Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 ... hello all... holy cow, how many genius do we have here...I am feeling all 3rd grade again man, I love this stuff rick Not sure about "genius", but Selegue, batman_fan, myself and scrooge (i believe) are all scientists. See, not just Lawyers and Comic book shop owners/dealers on these boards! You fraud. You're a friggin' engineer! :-) Jack (Why is the subject line stagedoorjohnny?) Because we keep quoting ourselves from a reply to a stagedoorjohnny post.... If you were an engineer/physicist you would know that!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Hand ® Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 So are the books stewing in their own juices so to speak. Buy a book 10 years after it was slabbed and what do you get? Crumbly, brown little pieces? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crumbly, brown little pieces? Unless the pages were white as snow to begin with, it is a distinct possiblity. But, only a hypothesis at this juncture.

The Black Hand ® Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I remember Matt Nelson saying that compression was good but that books needed to breath a bit, and not just a pinhole's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt is a wise young man. Just ask Edgar Church, if he weren't..you know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were an engineer/physicist you would know that!! Sure, but since when do author names go in the subject line? I guess I'd need to track the thread backwards to find the source.

showcase4 Posted December 5, 2006 Author Share Posted December 5, 2006 Here are 2 high grade unrestored semi-key ( some may say key ) books that sold for $54,000. Which one would you choose, and why? .............................or Young Allies does absolutley nothing for me....never did. The Adventure 48 is a Nick Cage / Church book......all day long for me.

Norrin_Radd Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Red Skull cover versus third-tier superhero. I'll take Young Allies #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showcase4 Posted December 6, 2006 Author Share Posted December 6, 2006 Red Skull cover versus third-tier superhero. I'll take Young Allies #1. what is it about Young Allies that is appealing? It seems very "Tough Kid Squad" to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straw-Man Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Red Skull cover versus third-tier superhero. I'll take Young Allies #1. what is it about Young Allies that is appealing? It seems very "Tough Kid Squad" to me i collect all the timely superhero books, and it's pretty much a third string title to me. still, it is, in my group, considerably more appealing than tough sell squad, which we see near the bottom of the barrel.

ciorac Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Adventure 48 is not the most appealing book, but it is more appealing than the Young Allies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 almost too close for me to call. As much as I love DC, I like the redskull/ hitler cover, and would pick that one. This was the hardst yet. I can't believe EITHER of these books sold for $54k Man thats a lot of money.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Knight Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Adventure 48, but I would rather spend that kind of $ on something else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamstrange Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Adventure 48 is not the most appealing book, but it is more appealing than the Young Allies Agreed. It's a big fat early DC and that's probably just enough to tip the balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronty Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 I never liked kid books. I'd take the adventure 48 all day long as well. Hourman is actually a pretty damn cool hero IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
