Thanks, but I didn't pick them all up at once... I've added a couple of them in the last few weeks.

Here's a few snags lately, no great deals except the last one. It was only $150 including shipping.

The Captain Atom was too cool to pass up, even if it has nothing to do with the Ditko character later. It would be NM if not for a tiny gouge on Captain Atom's face on the inset picture, it's so small I can't get it to scan.

I love that Captain Atom is punching that guy from behind (not that I know anything about him, maybe that was his superpower). When I get a chance to find the extra Caliber I'll post a detailed description. It might be a while though, I'm going to Eastern Europe in eight days and am mostly working doubles until then.

Eastern Europe? Apparently the whoring is cheap and good

I was browsing through the updates and read this and backed up my browser. It took about three seconds to register and I had to come back to make sure this said what it said.

Gave me a great laugh

I like the story description on that Brave and Bold book with S&W...Two super chicks on a new kick!

It tough for anybody to find a decent copy of that one. Nice snags!

Is it me or does the Aqualad head-shot make him look...girlish?

Iron Man 171, no big deal. But it has a 75 cent cover price.
Anyone know anything about these price variants? I'd previously heard of the 30 and 35 cents variants but not these....

hulk181man · Post by **hulk181man** » Sun May 27, 2007 11:08 am

Btw, Hobo, amazing haul!

Especially like the cross-eyed Batman on Detective 94

One of the reason why I like some of the B&B's and Showcase of this era (among some other titles) is the hokiness of the jargon. It's rather non-politic, but in a strange way I can't help to think it was a better time (even though I wasn't around). Regardless, just way fun to collect, if the earlier issues of either series weren't such a *SQUEE* to find I'd be more enthusiastic or active in my hunt for them. Finding them above G/VG+ is a pain (keep in mind I'm essentially limited to Ebay) and the turbo graded ones PGCMint recently had went for prices above what I'm willing to pay for non-true focuses of mine.

I feel the same way about that era, everything just a fun sense about it. I wish comics could steer back in that direction someday. Things just get way too serious now.

Check out the eyeballs on Wonder Girl. Kinda makes you wonder what she's looking at on the other side.....

If it has only the 75 cents, it could be a Canadian price variant.

I've got a long box or so of Ultraverse doubles.

I'll compile a list relatively soon (encouraged by the success with the Valiant trades) or if you have a handy list, go ahead and send it to me.

I just picked up the first two Star Wars books, dated 1977... made in Milano, Italy and in Italian.

I suppose off to Ebay they go unless I was offer stupid money on here. Anyone want to see any pics ? They are in GREAT shape.

If you have pics I would love to see them. I don't know if I could buy them but I would love to see them. What are you looking to get for them?

I'll try and post pics... soon.

MedicAR · Post by **MedicAR** » Sun Jun 03, 2007 12:24 pm

I hate to post before the item arrives, but man-o-man, I'm proud of this one!

I picked this up at the CGC Virtual Con. It's the first Captain Atom, third highest graded, and easily the nicest copy I've ever seen!

cshepard81 · Post by **cshepard81** » Mon Jun 04, 2007 6:57 am

I skipped the VCC, but I think I managed to get some decent deals yesterday anyway:

DC Tarzan described as NM, #207-258,
Adventure Comics #346,
Incredible Hulk #180 CGC 4.0

About $200, all told.

I'll be insanely jealous if those Tarzan's pan out!

First appearance of Airborne

There were like 3 more books (DC's) I wanted from one seller but some *SQUEE* beat me to them!
