I gave up on a Church Exciting in Chicago after 10 minutes where I didn't really get to say anything. It's easy to keep a "conversation" going with Jon because you really aren't necessary. true...but you always get multiple versions...so keeps it interesting And he does his own play by play! (thumbs u and sometimes he remembers each play differently the second go around but I do love me some verzyl...always treated me grand, always has a good thing to say to me, and he still remembers the first book I bought from him in 1988...rest aside, kind of keeps one loyal (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are certainly more willing to talk and pass along stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJD Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Another war bonds cover. I was underbidder on this on Heritage last year at $250 when the Aussie dollar was trading at US70c. Then it popped up on ebay last week with a BIN of $150 - and the Aussie is US98c... :banana: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheetah Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I stopped by the LCS today and they had gotten in a new collection of GA books. They had a number of low-grade pre-27 Tecs and Superman. Not trying to pimp my store but I know a lot of you look for those kind of books. Contact info = Comic Book World You'll have to call the Florence store to get a list and prices. I didn't have a chance to write them down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
