seank Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 Sac Con is a the Sacramento Comics Convention. It's a small con put on quarterly here in Sacramento. linkey-poo Whoah thanks! Sac is only a couple of hours away. So is there much in the way of older books there? There's a few dealers who are always there who have some good older books. There's also some fairly decent bargain hunting: lots of $1 and under boxes. Other than that, it can be a [!@#%^&^] shoot. In March there was a guy selling his entire collection at half guide. I picked up some really nice VFish early silver age Green Lanterns for $40 each instead of $80. Last time the golden age pickings were a bit slim (at least for me), but I did find the two Planet Comics. I'd say the show is worth checking out once. If you like it, you can come back. If not, Sacramento isn't that far a drive. Let me know if you're going to make it. I usually hit the show early and spend a few hours bargain hunting.

PovertyRow Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 Just received from ebay - Old_Guy turned me on to this cover by his posting it on the boards and have been looking ever since then to find one. Was a tough search but got it on ebay for $18.49 plus 3.50 shipping. I think it is a bargain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tb Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Which one would you keep (all are file copies)? Ended up with about a dozen of these dilemmas after a recent deal. So far, I've taken the easy way out and kept all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tb Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Just how I feel when I look at Timely's scans... I was incredibly lucky to land this deal. Did pay considerably above guide but some of the books were just surreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonds25 Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Awesome books! I'd sell the ones with the writing on the cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arty Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 There seems to be couple of cover variants? Some copies have that miniature Mickey head above M(ickey Mouse) So you probably have to keep both copies of Vol2 #12 and Vol2 #13 Personally I would keep copies with better page quality and cover colors/ink reflectivity.If they are close in those terms I'd keep copies without writing/stamps.

tb Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 Arty, I can't believe that - never noticed it myself?? I just checked my other double copies and found at least 5 more that have both variations. For the remaining pairs, both have the same marking. This is really strange since all are file copies that at one time were stored in the same archives. I have not idea why they made two variations?
