ciorac Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 With a word of thanks to MCMiles for selling me a book he really didn't want to sell (and for throwing in a small discount to boot), I'd like to present a recent purchase from the Tampa Comic Con. Sure, its not high grade, nor slabbed (two things that are normally a must if I shell out over $100 for a book), but the great Schomburg cover really caught my eye and the White back cover and pages didnt hurt either. I see the Census reports a number of copies graded between 8.0 and 9.2, PM me if you know of a upgrade copy available for sale as I would be interested. Thanks! What a nice copy, and I really like the cover art. It's one I haven't seen before. Ken I need one of these badly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sacentaur Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Well, I'm kinda on a roll so here's another new one just arrived today (from Stephen Ritter, one of da best!). This is a 100 paged digest sized item; the only other one I've seen was posted in Bangzoom's thread recently (IIRC). This is the Carson City copy, just beautiful with the only flaw being a 1" spine split: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacentaur Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 (edited) The insides of this unusual item are again, pure GA. Malcolm "Speed Centaur" Kildale cover and lead story, a terrific "Fly Man" item by a young Sam Glanzman: ...a signed John Giunta piece (here's a 2 page spread from the middle of the story): ...and who can't resist a book with marauding Vikings!: Spitfire 1 is a very cool book which exceeded my expectations Edited August 21, 2007 by sacentaur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That book would definitely count as High Grade if it were in my collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theagenes Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 This was one of the considerations obtained from stagedoorjohnny last week as we concluded a deal. I think of BangZoom and jbcomicbox when I look through and handle this wonderful book - it just reeks Golden age! Wow that is cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theagenes Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 This was waiting for me when I got home today. I must have upgraded (or attempted to upgrade) this book a half a dozen times, but I think now I'm finally satisfied. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
