I managed to sneak a few digests into a recent order of beater paperbacks. I couldn't resist this one at $5 The Humorama digests really are charming. The pin-ups are great (this one has a 6 page Bettie spread inside), there's cartoons by the likes of Bill Ward, Dan DeCarlo, Bill Wenzel, Jefferson Machamer, and I've even grown to admire the single toned cover designs. And can one ever get enough boob jokes?

It can't take off at the same level because the supply of the Ramos variant in 9.8 (5606) has exceeded 9.8 copies (5006) of New Mutants 98 and UF4 (4755) copies. Ramos variant has 90% of the total supply in 9.8. It's a dying spec.

some 3x over

Calling it @ a little past 2AM EST . This is the earliest I can recall that we've shut down. Rain and cold is such a drag. Oh well, I guess the upside is I will get some sleep.

Thx to you both! Haha I see, so you need to type the exact right name

A few redheads in a new batch or rough paperbacks I unboxed tonight. Don't mess with a redhead, FAFO!

Another Beacon and a not so gorgeous copy, but downtrodden girls need love, too This is one from the nice trove that came in from the seller Black Cactus pointed out. None of the books were in good shape, but they were dirt cheap with a couple very nice paperback originals from big writers in there. I've been trying to find the right copy of Orrie Hitt's Door to Door since Douglas recommended it to me, but I haven't quite found the right one. This one will have to do nicely as an intro to Mr. Hitt. I like the Warren King cover, too. That's right - you know me - no space ships, horrors, barbarians or other wonder, it's' ONE DAMN GIRL AFTER ANOTHER

Classic un-retouched Polaroid daguerrotype double exposure: The Ghost of Cat's past... Prehistoric pre-cellular selfie (technically selfies, hence two images)

Couple of fun pickups from a local haunt whose fifth year anniversary sale was on. Been scheming on the Supes n' Spidey for a while, today felt right.

So many girls in my book, it weighs a ton... I've got a Beacon or two on the glass tonight, too. For the peeping toms. Gorgeous copy: Adulteress - Lon Williams (1959.Beacon 214) cover Ernest Darcy Chiriacka PBO

The quote in all it's glory...

Looks like some cover swiping going on with these things.

Bump! Anyone that has any WWT splashes, I’m interested. Please drop me a line.

You are correct. I'll set the minimum contest requirement to qualify for the top 50 cumulative rankings list through contest #10 at 4.75 contests (as usual, I take total contests divided by two subtract 0.25 = 10 / 2 - 0.25 = 4.75). by completing all 4 rounds of this contest you'll have 5 total contests under your belt through contest #10.

For now, that's likely true. But what you're saying is not necessarily an indicator of future success or failure if the character takes off at the same level as Miles or Wade (not saying he will). I'd contend it's not "stupid logic;" I'd say it's just too early to tell at this point. I also wouldn't put all my eggs in the Spider-Boy basket, but I bought a few copies at pre-order and sold some to cover my costs, so I'm covered on my end anyway. It'd be great if the character takes off, and I don't think you can quite write him off yet.

I distinctly remember seeing this ad in the pages of a comic through which I was flipping on the spinner rack at Les' Variety in August 1962: I was awestruck! It wasn't until early 1964 (I think) though that I got my hands on a copy. Here's the one from my present day collection:

There were a couple of books this contest where I felt a bit disadvantaged by not having a copy of the CGC grading guide. I missed one of the two books by 1 point, but missed the other (SW #8) by 4 points!

Mine as well, just stunning.
