The Glub Glub Club - Drowning in underwater covers

[comicdonna]

Not sure if you collect for the back cover or not, but figured you might want to see this one anyway. It is the back cover for Cherry's Jubilee #4...

Some Underground/Local/Oddball books:

Bought this one raw off eBay. It was listed as a 5.0, image looked more like a 4.0, but the price was OSPG 2.0. There are only a few Barks duck covers that fit in my theme and all of them are great. I would like to upgrade this one someday, but even if I do I'm pretty sure I'll hang on to all of the undercopies I end up with.

I bought a couple books from tomorrowstreasures (aka Richard Muchin). I know people either love him or hate him, there have even been a few threads about his practices. I decided to see for myself. He had a couple books I liked a lot, both were listed with no conservation/restoration/repair, and both were priced a little over what I would expect to pay. I made an offer on each book for 90% of his BIN and he accepted within the hour. He, like most eBay sellers, probably overgrades a little bit, I took that into account and ended up getting the books at a price that, while higher than FMV, I was satisfied with. I've been looking for a nice copy of WDC&S 143 for a while and never found one that was better than 5.0. Described as 8.5, I think this copy is more of a 7.5 with the spine being a little rough, but it's so adorable:

 

 

The second book is Marvel Tales 156, which I didn't know about until I browsed through his store. Described as 6.0/6.5, I think that's closer to correct than the WDC&S. Not very many black underwater covers (Hit #5 being the best IMO)

 

 

I'll probably end up making at least a few more purchases from tomorrowtreasures since he has decent books and the transaction went smoothly.

I got these two DCs in today:

 

 

I'm also planning to make the Aquaman covers by Nick Cardy a priority in the near future. I've only got two so far, but I think the full run of underwaters from this series will be captivating when seen together.

Some non-comic book items. A Big Little Book, an old paperback novel, a pulp, and an educational publication:

 

 

Also got a small haul of cheap drek from Half Priced Books:

Ladies Night

Picked this one up a few hours ago on eBay. The piece out of the spine is not ideal, but this is another book I'll be looking to upgrade down the road. For now, I'm happy with it as a placeholder of one of my favorite covers.

 

 

Also looking forward to the traditional crack and read when it arrives.

Someday I'll find a nice VF copy, but for now this one is safe and sound.

Found a couple Tom Swift hardcovers today. One is a bit gnarled at the top but they're interesting.

I picked these up raw at WW Chicago.

I recently purchased the largest diving knife I could find. Some of those sharks are quite large.
