I'm guessing you were right there looking at them... wish I'd known who you were, would have said hi. Killer pickups! And I wish I'd known it was you. And I'm glad you didn't buy them first! Did you also see the Mystic 9 8.0 he had? I was sorely tempted by it, but instead of his usual arm and a leg, he was asking an arm, a leg, and most of the other leg. I bargained him down a little, but when I came back on Sunday to continue dickering, he had sold it -- he said at the price I had passed on. Terrific book.

Dr. Love Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 As you might know, that Confessions 11 is particularly tough. Nice one. Hitlers and romance. You must be quite the fun date! Sqeggs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where the where those Coles hiding?!?! They were all from Harley. I think he had just gotten them in. I was shocked at the reasonable price he was asking for the Patsy Walker 25. It's a Louise Altson painted cover that's tough to find in higher grade. So far as I can tell, there are zero copies on the census (although the census for Patsys from that period is kind of screwed up).

Thanks. I was happy to get it. The census indicates that there are a few copies around, but I agree that you just don't seem to see them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicnoir Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 That Cowpuncher 2 came from Harley? It was raw the last couple of times I saw it. Called it 9.0/9.2. It was tempting, but I went for others stuff instead, including a Jetta 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Readcomix Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Killer report, awesome additions to your collection, and they've prompted a prediction -- Kirkpatrick covers are gonna heat up one day; she has a lot of stunning work.

skypinkblu Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Great report, I ALMOST wish I had been there... Then I thought about the parking, the hard floors, the crowds, the pick pockets and...I was ok with not going;) Then I saw the Sensation and I was jealous. Great pickups!

That Real Love is a sleeper gem! I am with you on that. I really like her work. Kind of minimalist backgrounds compared with Baker and Cole, but her main figures are drawn as well as anyone. Not that I know much about composition and all that stuff, but I do know what I like! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post AnkurJ Posted October 8, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 8, 2018 Great report! I saw some amazing books at the show. There was much to see. Was great to see Steve Ritter back in NYC after many years. He had an awesome Captain America 74 in 3.5 on his wall and quite an extensive GA inventory. This was my purchase of the show thanks to Gator! I sold my low grade raw copy a few years ago to pay off a big book, but always regretted it. This one is higher grade than I'm used to but was fairly priced. gino2paulus2, Mystafo, Primetime and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
