  1. I like this particular book. The GGA is awsome, the horror conotation is wild. The Zodiac angle doesn't even figure into the equation as why I would like to have one. But, due to the hype, I will probably have to "get lucky" now.
  2. Those Tim Holts are all "horrorable"...
  3. Assembled by a guy that was accused later in life of being a serial killer in the Pacific Northwest. Google it...
  4. The Green River SA collection has a similar connotation to me. I don’t own any...
  5. Wow, great story! We should all be so lucky... That Corgi Mini Cooper Countryman Surfer vehicle is off the hook! I have never seen one. It wouldn't be leaving my junk house if I turned up one. Would bring BIG bucks I would imagine here in SO CA. I have had a lot of Corgis, Dinkys and Matchbox vehicles over the years. Most I have parted with but I doe still have a fair amount of them. Many years ago, I went to a closing on a toy store in Pasadena, CA. They had lots of back stock they were blowing out rel cheap. I picked up a few Batman cars, A Green Hornet Black Beauty, A Monkees car and several others all boxed and old store stock. I think this is the last one I hung on to.
  6. If you are talking Hitler covers (this is the Hitler thread), they seem to have been pretty well defined and accounted for. If you are talking WWII covers in general, good luck. That spans a TON of books in all genres. I don't even think one could use the Gerber book and count because there are so many not in there. Most people concentrate on the superhero ones, but it seems like all genres had them. It's a task, I wouldn't want to take on...
  7. And then there is this mail away premium from Tip Top Comics circa late '30's. Same character?
  8. Beautiful books! Really love the black, night time cover on the single series. Here's another cool one.
  9. Yeah, I'm of the school of thought that almost any copy is better than no copy at all on books like this. I'd rather have this one, than waiting for a nicer copy that might never come along again. One of my biggest regrets was about 10 years ago passing on a Suspense #3 for a similar reason. It had a pretty rough spine, some chipping on the edges and missing some pages. Price $1,200. Presented well though. I went back and forth on it and passed. As soon as I handed it back, Ritchie Munchin, who was lurking behind me snatched it and paid full price. I knew then and there, that I had probably missed my chance of ever owning a copy... I have bought low grade books and upgraded many of them and perhaps, one day, this one will also be upgraded. In the meantime, perhaps Gino or some other lucky boardie will post a copy that we can see all the great cover on it...
  10. About a month away... Is it possible, like last year, to buy advance tickets on line? Got a link?
  11. That is except for the large logo More Funs with Spectre and Dr Fate covers. I keep waiting to see those get cheap and out of favor...
  12. Any of these could be yours Pop... I do have two of the Felix games and both versions of the Screwball MAD MAD MAD game. (this one is a dupe too). I went from having one incomplete Capt. Marvel puzzle a couple years ago to now having three. Would love to trade one for a Superman one I don't have. I only have one Milkman game though. This is it and it is for sale... The real prize of that photo is the large 1930's Indian Motorcycle patch. Got some tire kickers, but ending up bringing it home.
  13. Yep, sad indeed. That place was off the hook. I got many great books from Bert as a kid. I rarely got past the boxes in the hall...
  14. Bought this from Teddy at WonderCon several years ago. Is it beat? Of course. I dug it out of a box. Thought it was way overpriced but had never seen one. I quickly found out how wrong I was when several dealers and seasoned collectors had said how rare it was and wanted to pay me way more than I spent on it. Haven’t seen another copy since to upgrade it. Proud to have it.
  15. Been a while since I got a Four Favorite but one walked up to me today. Always great to get one of these!
  16. Tim Holt #30 seems to be trending. Nice cover but come on now...
  17. Set up at the Flea today. Great weather, lots of happy customers. Kids with their dads. Man, my feet hurt though!
  18. Probably the best lyrics ever in a rock song. He’s before my time too but sometimes opening your mind opens doors...
  19. I see a lot of stuff missing from these lists but I’m not telling. Too hard to find the ones I want already...
  20. Wow, what a Ghastly trio of Ghoulantics! Congrats! I will see your sixes and raise you seven. After all the only thing better than having these 3 is having them all!
  21. I'm generally not a big fan of a lot of Dells nor this character, but I just LOVE this cover. So mysterious. Great colors and perspective. Really makes you want to read it. I bought this slabbed because I mainly only wanted the cover. It was also SO cheap. Everytime I look at it now I keep thinking I need to find a low grade reader.
