  1. Thanks. My other question is, what's the deal here exactly. Its not a pedigree label, but yet has a special "fancy" color label - is this going to be a new trend now? I guess I recall like Jon Berk Collection had basic type printed on the label. What is the criteria to be a collection, and I'm not certain how I feel about the label.

  3. SOLD - America's Best Comics #26 - $150 shipped. Cover split, odd staining on cover, otherwise tight and sharp. Its Miss Masque on Motorcycle, by Alex Schomburg! All proceeds to JimJum12
  4. What's the deal with Fairy Tale Parade? I recall once fighting my way into an estate sale, scrambling directly to the "good stuff" - a pile of old Walt Disney Comics and Stories. There were so many people grabbing and fighting for stuff I took what I could get - which the seller already priced at a level I decided was too high so dejected I just handed them to a guy that had been in the opening line with me. Meanwhile, my daughter found her way over to the "junk pile" and wrangled out her picks with included Fairy Tale Parades for like a buck a piece.
  5. Added a Cookeville to the "Police Comics Pedigree Run." Turned an Okajima into an undercopy, coming to HA soon...
  6. Kind of a big deal for me, 2nd appearance of Boy Wonder, Batman #1 ad (Tech #39)
  7. I'm still on hunt for a high grade My Friend Irma #16, I think I've had 3 and all low grade and always on look-out for better for like 13 years now...nada. Probably (hoping, but probably not now that I'm posting this lol) it wouldn't even set me back "that much." There are a number of personal grails like that for me. I'm even going Western now too lol. However, picking up on the next big run up trend, that's a whole different game. I feel like it keeps gravitating more and more to key big heros and blow your mind covers, and Sensation and WW while in that bucket still despite everything are still not keeping up.
  8. ...love it, want it, would love to upgrade my nasty trimmed, water damaged and married copy... but just don't have the juice right now.
  9. I'd say #5. Why imo? a. cover appeal is better, b. I personally don't quite get it, but it seems to me the self titled series get more pump, be it Action vs. Sups, Tech vs. Bats or Sensation vs. WW.
  10. I have managed to accumulate (and keep - like an insufficiently_thoughtful_person I've sold low grade 14, 15, 16, 19) some rough Action Comics 17, 20, 21, 22 and 24 Groucho Marx: “I don’t want to belong to any club that would accept me as one of its members.”
  11. .... according to ChatGPT: Pinwheel is often considered one of the most unpopular Golden Age superheroes. Created by Charles Biro, Pinwheel made his first appearance in Daredevil Comics #3 in 1941. Despite the intriguing name, Pinwheel failed to capture the readers' imagination and didn't enjoy the same level of popularity as other superheroes of the Golden Age. Pinwheel's lackluster reception could be attributed to various factors, including uninspiring powers (he had the ability to spin like a pinwheel), a generic costume, and a relatively short-lived publication run. The character failed to resonate with readers and didn't leave a lasting impact on the superhero genre. While many Golden Age superheroes have been remembered and celebrated over the years, Pinwheel is often overlooked and forgotten in discussions about that era of comic book history.
  12. Sweet! What a beauty. But why not simply auction it and let the market decide? Else I'd use GPAnalysis and try to establish a value, then offer it here! My guess is your probably taking several offers now via your messages that probably are providing a nice legitimate range, if not then I'll make an offer. As someone mentioned, I also roughly estimate full covers at 50% of Good price. Seems to me it would do better those ways than in an antique shop. Just an opinion.
  13. ooohhhh - never seen that one before. I try and stay pre-code, and I'm very light on romance... but if that's not classic then its destined to be so imo.
