  1. https://www.facebook.com/events/1769719346624538/ All American Cards and Comics presents the 8th Annual All AmeriCon Comic book/toy/cosplay and art show. We've moved to a bigger venue and made it a 2 day show after 7 years of steady growth. This year our major guests are Bob Layton, Rags Morales, Michael Golden and Geof Isherwood. Over 130 tables of vendors and artists selling everything from Gold/Silver/Bronze Age comics to Funko Pops to Star Wars toys to Pokemon accessories. The show is July 8th and 9th at the world class venue, the Covelli Centre, in Downtown Youngstown. Admission is only $10/day.
  2. I also see that on the interior of the cover that Prince Albert finally got out of that darn can.
  3. I listened to it a few years ago and was up until the wee hours of the night without realizing how much time had past. I was a middle schooler the first time I ran into Jay at a Creation Convention in 1978 or 1979. Sparkle City was still based out of the Dayton area and they were the WalMart of comic book dealers at that time(or at least it seemed like). They had more tables and more old comic books then the rest of the room combined. I always bought something from them even though there were also the most expensive dealers (usually). It was something to behold when I would show my other comic collecting friends that "I got this from Sparkle City!!" Aw the old days of driving to shows with my dad, brother, and my friends who collected, in the back of my folks old VW van. We would spend hours at a con and dig through back issue boxes with Jay getting most of our money. I still run into old Sparkle City price stickers when a collection comes through the door at my shop from time to time. It brings back a lot of good childhood memories.
  4. I wish I kept my 4.0. That is such a great cover.
  5. I saw an article on a CGC 10.0 Thor #156 that sold for around $5000 in 2002. I believe it was a donation from Chuck Rozanski to the CBLDF at a Baltimore Comic Con. Besides the one GA book from 1949 that is also a 10, does anyone know or know how to check to see what other books might exist that are 10.0's before 1970? Any guess on what that Thor might be worth now? I would guess 8-12K but Im just tossing out numbers.
  6. Such a splendid collection. Welcome my friend!
  7. What a gem. Thanks everyone for sharing such fantastic books.
  8. So what would a blue label 2.0 bring if someone wanted to try to find a nice looking low grade unrestored copy?? 30K? 35K?
  9. Getting the itch to start collecting for myself again.
  10. A few things that popped up that I was more than happy to acquire.
