  1. Yeah but Steve Borock stopped collecting comic books when he became a grader so there wouldn't be an advantage over others. I'm not looking for conspiracies or pointing any fingers it's just that I find it odd that West is a grader and still collects comic books. He knows exactely what books and grades to be becaus he's at an advantage when he sees books all day, what's plentiful and what's rare. John
  2. Hi, I need a front cover to Batman #6. Thanks, John
  3. Hi West, I don't want to cause any problems but why are you into comic books when you're a grader? Just curious? John
  4. He wears short shorts and he has a love affair with a cutout Wonder Woman paper doll. 'nuff said John
  5. Detective Comics #78 CGC 7.5 Off-White pages. John
  6. David, Where in Montreal were you located? I remember visiting one of the 1 million comics store, I think, in the area of Cote St. Luc and Jerry was behind the counter. He had a beat up Batman #148 in a display case for about $5 or so and I immediately purchased it. That was probably around 1984 or 1985. The Montreal Gazette had an article about him and a picture where he was surrounded with Golden and Silver Age comic books. It said that he was a former nurse and how he had started collecting and selling comics w/ his partner Robert Cresthol. Years later, I met him at a Toronto comic con around 1997, he had about 5-6 tables full of Golden, Silver and Classics Illustrated. His wife was there, along w/ his mom and Dad. I bought 3 books from him, World's Finest Comics #3 (1st Scarecrow), Weird Comics # (?) and a Detective Comics #107...all came back as restored from CGC. What a shyster. Anybody know where he is now? Is he in hiding, has he sold his entire inventory (restored books)? By the way, whatever happened to Nick Kronfeld? John
  7. Here's my copy of Captain America #74. I don't normally collect Timelys but this one I couldn't pass up.
  8. Kudos to Shiverbones for a great Marshall Rogers Joker sketch! You Da Man! John
  9. Hi, I have some boxed Megos but man are they ever expensive. I started buying them at my local comic store way back in the mid eighties when they were priced at $10.00 cdn. each. I have the figures but not the Green Arrow car, Batcycle or the Batcave playset. John
  10. Other than comic books? Let's see: Comic book serial posters and lobby cards Super-Hero toys from the seventies, especially ones made by AHI Original art, ie: covers, sketches and anything drawn by the master Marshall Rogers John
  11. KUDOS to JiveTurkeyMoFo for being able to get me a Golden Age Batman sketch at a comic show. Thanks again! John
  12. Comilink were selling were selling Action Comics #1 one page at a time all CGC graded, didn't they? John
  13. Give the guy a break. It's not like he killed somebody. O.k. he reneged on a deal w/ Darth but does that mean that everybody has to crucify him. Sheeshhhh.... John
  14. Danny, Man, you're delirious. Why don't you colour touch some comic books and sell them on eBay. Ooppsss! You already do that don't you?! John
  15. Danny, Chill. I saw the original listing, there was nothing slanderous about it. It's just you making a big deal out of it, Supa just wrote his opinion, that's all. John
  16. Buy what you like and if the value goes up, it's a bonus! Don't try to get caught up in the hype. Think 1st. Read The Comics Buyer's Guide (weekly newspaper) and Comic Book Marketplace (monthly magazine). John
