Sweet pickups so far! Banner, VERY nice! Have an undercopy?

 

Paull, another nice Cole book! That one is tough!

 

It was a huge year for me, since I just started collecting GA. It has been a ton of fun and I look forward to adding some more stuff VERY soon!

 

Here is my favorite I think. $350 was, to me, a total steal for this one. First horror comic, slight CT, but fantastic eye appeal. I was floored when I won it. Still on cloud9.gif.

Some runners-up.

Its a toss up between the America's Best and Wonder Comics, nice stuff. 893applaud-thumb.gif

 

America's Best for me - awesome cover! 893applaud-thumb.gif

 

Great books from everyone. Dr. Banner - love the Capt. Flight Cole cover! Of course I am a sucker for great Sci-Fi covers.

Between these three, purchases I'd pick the Funnies as HGC and rare as hens teeth. Plus it was bought as part of a large collection so it didn't cost much. As Sinatra sang, "it was a very good year."

Good thread, although I think it's a cop-out to post more than one book. That's the "degree of difficulty" part, picking only one. Enforces discipline, builds character, yada, yada, yada... wink.gif

 

For me, although I got some pretty cool books this year, there's no way for me not to pick this one:

In a year of tremendous market selction for me this was my gem/grail of the year. Show us your favorite pickup.

 

You choose Subby #31 over Captain America #74?! And All-Select #1?! And Adventure #79?!

With that book, it's an easy decision!!

 

One thing this book, and this thread, make me notice, is that the DC GA covers sure do show a lot of vintage automobiles. Great books folks...keep 'em coming! thumbsup2.gif

I can vouch for the scarcity of many of those issues of the Funnies (1st Woody Woodpecker right?). With these three pick ups I finally finished my John Carter run this year:

With that run finished it frees me up to move on to other things like Tarzan....

and Buck Rogers!

If you're going to twist my arm and make me pick just one, then I suppose it would be the Buck Rogers #1, but I love them all. cloud9.gif
