These books are not my type of thing but I would never tell someone else that they should not buy them. If they want them-- go for it. Also-- they look to be in pretty excellent shape across the board. As for the claim that there are 500 keys-- I would not take that too seriously as a reason to buy a bag (or 18). That part seems like a bit of a con

speaking of death defying superheroes....

that book sure looks like Copper--- that won't Fly here

ALSO--- That means the last mystery box is (congrats @fatlab123) 2 Lorna, the Jungle Queen H.C.

so cold as the icy touch of death?

@ThreeSeas - did you attempt to look at the bags and discern which ones were different as well? I ask because you variation is far more substantive than what the fellow in the youtube video showed. He had some books where he ended up with 5 or more copies out of 18 bags opened or near that on several certain books (iirc True Believers: Captain Marvel had at least 4 repeats).

Corrected lists of winners or "dorks" if you will..... (had @1webslinger written down incorrectly.)

I'm confused -- did they use the same image on the cover as the splash page or is this splash from a different book entirely? Also-- what is keeping that enormous monster from falling to the ground? He isn't on a ledge. (I"m just being picky now--- I still love the cover/art)

I like BA and SA because it was what I grew up with. I wasn't around the hobby after 1978 until about 2014. I knew it went through some tough times. That the way books were sold changed radically. The art changed and the quality was different. Even when I picked back up in 2014, I realized my 13 year old self understood the hobby better than I do. But through these forums-- I have expanded upon some of my interests like PHM, Kirby 4th world, and understanding and appreciating more about the golden age even especially the horror stuff. I know jack about the 1990s and make no effort to know
