Popular Post JiveTurkeyMoFo Posted November 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 24, 2020 Posted December 9, 2016 That was apparently the date of my last post in GA. Don't ask what happened. Life, I suppose. Never really did take to the "new" Board layout, though that's probably the lamest possible reason/excuse. Still bought a few nice GA gems in the intervening years, but I've been AWOL from this Forum almost entirely. I'm determined to change that and get back into the GA swing of things. So, I see Schomburg covers, especially high grade war have entered the stratosphere. Batman too, especially anything with Joker. PCH sells for even more ridiculous multiples than ever before. What else did I miss? BTW, its good to read your posts and see a lot of familiar friendly faces. Hope you've all been well.

Let's not forget about classic cover like Mask 1 and Mask 2 by L.B. Cole. The major difference with GA as opposed to the other ages is that prices have gone crazy for the in demand books in all grades across the entire condition spectrum right down to the entry level copies. gino2paulus2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
gino2paulus2 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 What up JTMF!! Still remember that name (classic!!) glad you came back bro!! I have to second what @RareHighGrade and @lou_fine stated exactly absolutely nailed it. Classic covers are INSANE right now many books feel like they have even went into multiples of what they used to sell for like All-American 61. Schommy covers as you stated are Timeless and will never go out of style. A lot of folks without the means to afford these high grade books and younger generations are jumping into the GA waters which is a good thing but I do feel not enough quite yet to sustain these prices down the road but I like to remain optimistic as my kids and all their friends are into superheroes so who knows. Lets all pray they never stop printing!! Still not many super young folks have made it to this section of the boards though. I'm a vintaged 37 so consider myself pretty darn young and feel like I am on the younger side of folks that post over here so I have always appreciated the wisdom in this section over the other sections of the boards it is also much more civil here haha!!. A lot of folks have migrated over to the faster paced apps like Instagram and while I am a newer user over there it lacks the serious substance that you get over here. A lot of GREAT boardies still remain from after the Great reset haha!! I won't list names because there are too many but I have no doubt you will remember many of them. We have lost a couple great posters over the last few years at least from my personal recollection for example I don't see Jon Berk really post anymore after his historic auction but his mark is forever etched in stone. Stick around I was one of those that had a hard time adjusting and made multiple gripe posts about it as well but I have gotten completely used to it now and can in fact hardly even remember what the big difference was that I was so upset about. Oh yeah....now I remember... it was that I couldn't use the full view site from my phone so it was a TON of scrolling which hurt my eyes and my fingers but they added a pinch zoom view so they completely fixed that issue for me personally. Good to hear from ya hope all has been well, you were here in the beginning long before myself so I wont skip on my opportunity to can give you a WTTBs szav, GreatCaesarsGhost, sagii and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post Cat-Man_America Posted November 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 25, 2020 Trust me George, hanging in there is the best any of us can do. It’s been a very tough year, and I’m probably the last person on this board who has reason to say this, but I’m holding firmly onto a glimmer of optimism for the future. Maybe it’ll be combined with a couple of shots in the arm followed by a couple of shots of tequila, but something’s got to give us hope. Speaking of Jon Berk’s collection, I’m joining this parade! sagii, Tri-ColorBrian, gino2paulus2 and 9 others 12 Link to post Share on other sites

Beautiful book. Thanks to everyone for the warm (re)welcome. I have some realigning to do with my own GA stuff. Some of it has really shot up in the last few years, and some of it doesn't really conform with my long term goals. Part of the fun of getting back into it is doing some weeding in the garden...

If those are high grade weeds and you require a top drawer Orkin inspector to treat and perhaps cull your GA garden before it gets overrun, just let me know by PM. Link to post Share on other sites
fishbone Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Welcome back JTMF ! That name is unforgettable and I just have a sense of "home" when I see posts from the wise elder statemen (and women) on here. Don't forget to post some goodness from your 2016-2020 sabbatical from the Boards gino2paulus2 and szav 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, you just never know what's going to get pulled and chucked to the side. This is probably NOT one of those books. gino2paulus2, Point Five, szav and 2 others 5 Link to post Share on other sites
