Happy Snow Day (The USPS Still Delivers)

Rob — Mon, 27 Dec 2010 18:37:33 +0000

I got this in the mail today:

I'm a big fan of the Englehart/Rogers run in general and the two-issue "laughing fish" arc in particular. One of these show up on Heritage and I figured- why not. Now I just need a nice #476.

Show and Tell: Silver Age Daredevils

Rob — Tue, 05 Oct 2010 17:18:59 +0000

Just thought I'd share a few more books from my collection. It's fun talking about what other people are buying, but I'm plugging away at my own corner of the universe and that's even more fun for me.

Daredevil 43 CGC 9.4

Daredevil 34 CGC 9.4 Western Penn

Daredevil 46 CGC 9.4 Western Penn

A Silly Book That I'm Pleased as Punch to Own

Rob — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 01:17:51 +0000

I've been buying Silver/Bronze Age Daredevils again. High grade. Pedigrees where available.

I just got this in the mail

Daredevil #132 CGC 9.6 Western Penn

It's not the nicest book I've gotten in this round, but there's something about it I really like. The Bullseye connection, the condition, the basically perfect centering… nice book. It's a shame the Western Penn #131 was just a 9.2, or else I'd have a nice pair.

Baltimore Post #2 (My Haul)

More photos from the show later. For now, this is what I bought:

How I Do What I Do

Beyond hitting up all the amazing people in the hobby for personal knowledge, I keep a reasonable research library around here. One that I'm always adding to. This is what I've got right now:

Still looking for a couple of Overstreets (1,2 and I can't find my #5,) but beyond that I'm hunting for some of the smaller catalogs (All Star, etc.) and am looking into putting together a full collection of Comic Book Marketplace…

Beauty and the Beast

Rob — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 00:47:41 +0000

These both arrived today:

Yes, a GD- (according to Heritage, at least) Green Lantern #1 next to a gorgeous Pacific Coast Green Lantern 42. Quite a pair.

I'll be reading the GL #1 tonight.

A Sweet Hardcover Copy of the Best Comic Series of All Time (No, It's Not Watchmen)

Rob — Sat, 07 Mar 2009 01:43:31 +0000

This is a nice looking little book.

And yeah, Lone Wolf and Cub just might be the best comic series I've ever read. This is an extremely limited edition Dark Horse put out to commemorate the release of the series.

Speaking of Pairs

Rob — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 02:27:00 +0000

I won two books on Sunday night for roughly the same price:

Green Lantern #1 (DC, 1960) Condition: GD-

and

Green Lantern #42 CGC 9.2 Pacific Coast

I'm happy with both purchases. I've never actually owned a Green Lantern #1. That won't be my last copy, of course. I'm going to need a high grade copy to round out the run I've started working on, so there's be something a little more expensive in my future. Still I love #1s and keys so even a beater GL #1 is nice to have.
