    If you like old funny books it's the place to be. I think you have to be a bit more wary of scammers than the boards but there is a big community of good people.

    I think message boards are a slightly antiquated medium. The IG comic collecting community might account for some of the decline. That community is very active.

    Don't quote me but I have a vague recollection that it had been destroyed in a fire.** **the possibility that I am totally wrong is very high.

    I think it effects the price some. But you get a return for taking the risk of doing the CT removal and getting the blue label. This isn't as recognisable a book but it lends some credence to this point. Slight ct on a 9.0 Strange Suspense Stories 19 originally sold for $3120. 10 months later the same book sells in the same venue as an 8.5 blue for $11,400. https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/strange-suspense-stories-19-charlton-1954-cgc-apparent-vf-nm-90-slight-b-1-off-white-to-white-pages/a/7211-95264.s?ic4=GalleryView-ShortDescription-071515 https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/strange-suspense-stories-19-charlton-1954-cgc-vf-85-off-white-to-white-pages/a/7231-92073.s?ic4=GalleryView-ShortDescription-071515

    It looks accurately graded to me.

    I don't own either book but I much prefer 2, it seems to come up for sale less often and census is lower (62 for #1 vs 47 for #2).
  28. The-Collector
    +1 I also thought it would do a bit better. But I guess 174k is nothing to sneeze at.

    15 hours left on the Tracy and it is well below my purchase cost!
  32. The-Collector
    Bump again. The Men in Action is only at $30.
  33. The-Collector
    Less than a week left and the Tracy highest graded bondage cover is currently at $12 which is less than it cost to get graded!!
