FlComicFan

didnt see this before so FLComicFan is allstar-comics on Ebay Thanks, Chet

My wife has a very wealthy friend and we went out to dinner with them one time. While they were very nice people they were "new rich" so the lady had to mention she was ordering a very expensive bottle of wine I actually felt a lot of remorse/guilt even drinking it. Hard to enjoy yourself drinking a bottle of wine that easily a few weeks salary. Its very difficult to not be either envious or begrudge people who just away money like its water. Far as the wine I'm no expert and neither were they but it was just the good ego trip for them to be able to drop a few thousand bucks like its nothing on drinks.

Everything is relative once you are that wealthy. Still doesnt account for someone paying $12K for a paper lable that says 9.9 instead of 9.8 Can you imagine how much dollar inventory in wine that place must have?

Hmmm what I find interesting is that while a lot of people find it mystifiying the amount paid but nobody thinks its interesting that a few qualified individuals could tell the difference between that 9.9 and the hundreds of 9.8's ? Almost like printing money.

I always have a bunch of original art and golden age comics up on Ebay under user id g-man2002

bump

Have 88 long boxes of bulk books for sale. Comics are in alpha numerical order (with exception of a few boxes of indies which are semi organized) Comics range from 1970's - 2004 with no heavy duplication . Perfect for store stock or dollar comics conventioineers. Price is $5000. gainesville area obviously pick up only.

I've seen a few listed in websites over the past 3 or so years since I got interested in collecting art I have never seen listed anywhere close to the price this one was listed at I think I saw one of the Suspense covers with an asking price of $2K a year or two back Fantastic artist, by using bright primary colors he sure gets your attention quick. I bet the books with his covers stood out big time in the 40's and 50's

thats a crazy price for a recreation

I collect Holyoke and Continental as well Someday I hope to have Cat-Man, Terrific complete I have several Suspense but doubt I will ever secure a #3 to complete the run I do have a nice #8 Judging by the prices in the guide those dont really qualify as under rated anymore, maybe 10 years ago before their huge run up. Just by guide price I think MLJ's and Fox are a quite cheap compared to Timely's and DC's. I think DC's are waaaayyyy overrated prce wise Never understood why a much more common DC book with uninteresting cover art would be worth 3-4 times what a MLJ or Fox with a great cover is valued at Dont most people now collect mainly individual issues by covers? Exactly how many collectors out there can stil try and complete full Golden Age runs of Action, Superman etc (besides Ian of course)

for cover art MLJ can vie with even Timely's For interiors Quality had an excellent stable of artists I collect Fox for their covers but most of the interior art seems cheesy even for the era. Judginhg from the handful of Centaurs I own they seem to pushed to the side since they are by the same artists who started Timely

thanks for sharing the Disneys with the board. The first comics I ever read were Disney Barks Ducks.

Shield, I sent you a PM let me know what MLJ's you are selling?

yeah its mine I scanned it for someone who was also looking for one Kind of uncommon I got a new scanner finnaly so I'll be posting some more pics of my esoteric non DC/Timely collection
