There are a lot of posts about single pages scattered across the boards, but I have found no thread dedicated to them. That makes the hunt for these posts a bit problematic. I myself have talked about my belief that as keys grow more expensive, people will more and more resort to the collecting of single pages. But there’s another dimension to the pursuit of single pages. Even for those lucky enough to own a key book, it’s usually going to be slabbed and therefore impossible to see the interior. In order to enjoy the book, maybe we satisfy ourselves with a reprint. personally, I find the collection of single pages to be another way to bring a slabbed key to life. So, let this thread be safe haven for those of us who possess single pages. Let’s see your single pages. ill start . . .

I first posted this under “Water Cooler”, but it wasn’t getting much notice. I am hoping to hear the thoughts of others as to where Overstreet is missing the boat. My motivation is probably mostly focused on Planet Comics, but surely there are other pockets of inaccuracies. What do you guys see? oh, here is my original post: Just got mine. The usual suspects got some small bumps - like lower grade Cap 1 and Bat 1 and pre-Robin tecs. I’m a little surprised there was such little movement on Cap 3, and NO movement on Planets. Why no movement on Planets? Maybe I’m the only one who likes em. Here’s another thing surprised me. AA 16 slipped ahead of Batman 1 in the Top 100 Golden Age comics. AA 16 is now #4, and Bat 1 dropped back to #5. I realize the final hammer is days away, but in the upcoming Heritage auction, AA 16 is currently losing to a lower grade Bat 1. How about you guys? What changes do you see? What changes don’t you see that you would have expected?

Hey gang! Thanks for taking the time out to check out my comic. This comic seems pretty solid aside from some rust on the staples and a what looks like a water stain on the back cover. Thanks again.

None of us have the resources to collect everything we want; all of us are forced to make choices. It’s a big world out there, and every genre we collect is at the cost of another. is there a book in your collection that, to you, is so representative of a genre that you can look yourself in the mirror and say “I’m done”? Is there a book in your collection that is so representative of a genre that you feel free to move on? I was big into WWII war covers, but realized very quickly I couldn’t get em all. So I’ve settled on my favorite cover and released the rest. Then, @Ricksneatstuff got me into GGA, and there I went, chasing a different flock of geese. @Gotham Kid got me into Pre-Robin Tecs, same result. Yesterday there appeared a thread about a piece of John Buscema art that had just sold on the Bay, and @delekkerste said “it’s the closest thing to a one-and-done piece you'll find that encapsulates an era”. It’s what gave me the idea for this topic. Anyway, below is the Buscema piece, followed by a couple of books that, for me, scratch the itch for a couple different genres, and releases me to turn my attention elsewhere. is there such a book in your collection? My favorite WWII war cover! my favorite GGA cover

Deets - in thread Paypal Goods/Services No Returns I have no idea if there is interest in these. I had three years of German in HS but that was 40 some odd years ago so I can't translate much. I did look up the titles and evidently the Kommissar X is relatively well-known with seven films made. I am not sure if the Die Ratte film is based on the one Die Ratte pulp. There are two Rebel Kriminal Romane and one coverless (missing FC and BC) Nat Pinkerton. Some do have some interior text illos. It looks like they are all crime fiction series. They appear complete except the Nat Pinkerton as noted. Average G/VG. One of the Rebel has glue along spine. Small pencil marks on first page. I included one pic to show. I have no idea what price to put on them. I found a few similar Kommissar on Ebay Germany. I'll try $35 OBO plus $4 media mail for US. If any international boardies are interested, will have to get a quote. Any interest at $15 shipped (US)?

The Books  Gold/atomic age comics. Some are new listings. Some have been listed before. I will put them up as the mood strikes over the next few days.  General Rules   No PL/HOS members  The new board software does not display precise thread post times (either in PMs or in sales threads), which can result in the inability to determine whether a PM post or thread post came first. One thing remains certain - it is easy to tell whether one post in a thread came before another post in the same thread. So, the first "take it" posted in the sales thread wins. If we reach a deal via PM, I'll mark books SOLD in the thread as soon as reasonably possible - but if someone else takes the book in the thread before your PM take is acknowledged in the thread (by either you or I), the thread poster is the winner, I'm afraid; so, there is some risk of losing a book if you try to remain anonymous via PM. (Credit to EC Ed for these rules. I have adapted them with his permission)  I kindly ask that you not Quote a book and then make a comment. It makes the book appear to be sold.  Payment  I'll take PayPal for total sales under $1000 if PayPal is your preferred method. Personal checks, or USPS money orders for total sales $1000 or higher.  When the thread is over an invoice will be sent with PayPal address.      I'll expect payment within 10 calendar days of invoice, or the book will be available for sale again (unless we've made other payment arrangements) Time payments are available for purchases of $2500 or more with20% non-refundable deposit and installment payments so purchase is paid in full no later than 90 days and up to 120 days can be available for $10,000 or more (please PM first). If monthly installments are more than 10 days late or payment is defaulted the 20% deposit will be retained by the seller but the rest of monies will be returned to the buyer and the sale will be nullified. I reserve the right to not take time payments.   Shipping Terms USA: $10 for raw and $18 for graded in any quantity. I ship USPS priority with signature required. I pack in Gemini boxes in a USPS legal flat rate envelope for raw books and a Med flat rate box for slabs. Please note the shipping prices are slightly higher than they used to be. It is costing a little more these days.   Canada: $15 for raw and $25 for graded in any quantity. Overseas- Shipping at cost. I only ship overseas to established board members with references. I now only ship one time a week so please be patient as it could take up to 10 days to ship your purchase.  Returns/Refunds  General Policy: I will accept returns on raw books within 30 days of your receipt of the books, as long as the books are returned to me as they were when you received them. There are NO RETURNS on CGC graded books. I always accept returns on raw books within 6 months if I missed restoration or the CGC grade is more than 1 grade off (for example I call a raw book a 5.0 and it comes back a 4.5 -no return. If it comes back a 4.0 you can return the book if you want for a full refund plus your shipping to me). 

Hi, tonight I'll be listing about 20 books. The raw books have not been cleaned or pressed. As for the slabs, I submitted most of the books and many were pressed by Joey Post. I marked the ones that I know for sure were not pressed or cleaned (because I don't have all of my books pressed or cleaned). Some of the books are new, some I've had for sale before. All of the prices should be fair, but in the case of the relisted books, I've lowered most of them. I'm going to do shipping at my cost to be fair to those who are out of the Country or across the Country or near me. If you need a shipping quote, just ask. I use regional boxes whenever it's practical and I pay for private insurance and if you spend more than $200, I will pay for the signature that my insurance requires. I accept Paypal, Checks or Money Orders. Payment is due in 7 days unless we have made other arrangements before you hit the Take it sign. First take it wins. In case of a tie, the one visible on the boards wins. Returns for any reason, but the book must be returned packed and shipped in the same manner it was shipped to the buyer within 7 days of receipt. Return shipping costs are to be paid by the buyer unless I made an error. Time payments are possible with a 20% non refundable downpayment paid within 3 days. Please contact me before taking a book if you need time payments with a schedule you can keep. No list people please and thank you:)

Hi guys, we just got a new shipment of books back from CGC and I am offering them on ebay with no reserves! The auctions end on Sunday night May 6th. And don't forget to check out the website as well. www.DaleRobertsComics.com Pre-Code Horror, Crime, Western, War auctions

I am looking for the prettiest X-Men 1, that I can find for about $10,000 . Ideally it would have an extra white cover. I do not want one where the cover is all yellowed. Cgc 5.0-7.5. mostly interested in how it presents more than the number. Also looking for a copy of Shock Suspenstories 6. Looking for something between cgc 4.0-8.0 Would like to find this one for around $1000. But I'd be happy to find a copy of this that I could afford. Tough book. As above, most important is a book that presents well. I've had a bunch of great transactions with people on the boards over the last few months. Hoping somebody can help to make my dreams come true.

SO!

My Kudos thread: http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=4287314#Post4287314 Here we go! Thrilling Crime Cases 44 Great L B Cole cover, but the critters have been at the upper RH corner of the book. Every single leaf has at least a nip out of it, right on up to the back cover which is intact. First two leaves have small bites out of the art, but the mouses had the kindness to not touch either the word balloons or the captions, so the story is intact. Grab a solid reader that displays well for $20
