  1. I want that comic-but can't afford that or any other.
  2. That is a great cover. Very hard-to-find comic in that grade. Is 3.0 a very good? or is it good? Wish I could afford that comic. One of my favorites.
  3. DC Giants were such cool comics. I still have many that I bought at conventions over the years. i especially love the Superman Giants.
  4. Don't know who drew these comics but Spiderman had the best covers. Gave all my Spidermans to my granddaughter to read. She thinks the stories are stupid and silly so she looks at the art and likes them. None have been sent to CGC but she puts them a box and into the closet.
  5. Made for young teens and tweeners. And of course fanboys and fangirls who will like any superhero movie or TV show. For adults it's garbage with dialouge that only 10-year-olds will like. All the network cares is that it is a ratings bonanza. We're talking GARBAGE.
  6. Oh, really beautiful copies. Congrats. They're keepers.
  7. My favorite DC Science Fiction title. I grew up reading them. Great covers and great stories, too. Never read science fiction books as a rule but I loved Strange Adventures and My Greatest Adventure.
  8. Really beautiful copies of a great title. Congrats.
  9. I'll take this comic over the FF #1 any day of the week--and I ain't kiddin'!
  10. Congrats. Those are great comics--some of the best the company ever published.
  11. Don't believe that you picked these up for as little as 300 dollars. People say what they want and collectors believe them. Yeah, 300 bucks, right. Whatever you say.
  12. What is the current Overstreet value of the book in the grade shown. Might be interested if priced fairly. Thanks
  13. Cool Peter Panda. It's amazing that you kept it that way after buying it off the newstandl There are a zillion copies of the Millie book compared to the Peter Panda comic.
  14. Are you talking about the boy next to you or the the comic?
  15. I have seen many collectors claim they bought an old comic such as a beaten up GL 2 or for 3 bucks but when I used to hunt for these books they were much more. Terry and Harley and others used to sell them for 20 or 30 bucks--maybe more. That's why I dont buy comics anymore. One guy claimed he bought a beat-up Flash 123 for only 75 cents. Yeah, right.
  16. No. Passport was on Victory Blvd just east of Coldwater though at one time he had moved his store to Victory just west of Fulton. I'm thinking that both Earl and his wife Dee may have died; they were heavy smokers and surprisingly even smoked at the store. I'm sure most of their comics smelled of smoke. Also, he would place his comics in cellophane bags and then write the prices on the bags with a black marker thus all their comics had noticeable indentations. They were both nice people but they did not know much about proper care and handling of comics.
