I remember in the late 80's that titles like Atom and Aquaman were so dirt cheap I added them to my want lists on general principles.  I didn't really collect DC at that time.

Can you imagine what books this guy might have had from 1962 on ? 

Could've been lucky, could've been Mile High grading.

Sometimes there was trouble.  What else you gonna do in the age of NO INTERNET ?

Well, it's an impressively frank opinion.

Very interesting to see the price for high grade Famous Monsters 1 vs FF 1 and Spider-Man 1 at the time.

This guy used to host a big collectors show up in Portland in the early 90's.  It was all the pop culture garage sale kind of stuff you now can find on ebay which is I think what happened to the shows

Barks was a great artist.

I wouldn't swap that for some stiff-figured Hogarth, though.

Being a Brit, had you ever heard of this paper before ?  I believe it was the central gathering place for all comic collecting news and deals  right up until the internet took over. 

I know it's just history and maybe kind of boring, but I'm crushed to see that the booze thread (wild turkey) is getting more likes, views and comments than this one

Mail bids!

So that's how it was done before the Internet.

Tough to put in a last second thrill bid to win it all.
