I have a bunch of Grateful Dead Almanac original art pieces by Tim Truman and trying to get as many as I can, but so much is in private collections of "Dead Heads" that they don't care about selling ![]() Here's one that Tim drew my daughter into. That was a cool suprise! ![]() |

I had to think on this for a while. I have a lot of fish that I want to catch. Some are whales (big price) and some are white (rare), but the combination of the two is what I had to determine. And instead of one particular book, I have a variety that is basically the same. My "White whale" would be any EC horror comic depicting an execution. It can be a beheading, a hanging, whatever. These comics go for insane prices (for me) and don't come up all that often (relatively speaking). Thankfully, I have been able to land a white whale here and there in my life, but they are few and far in-between. I just never give up hope!! | ||

Police Comics #1. 1st app of Pastic Man. Even low grades, when any do show up, go for a pretty penny. | ||

My holiest of grails: Silver Surfer #1 Volume 1 CBCS Certified 9.8 Blue with a symmetrical wrap. Could have won one in Comiclink Auction back about a year and a half or two ago, for probably around 12k, but the wrap was diagonal with a about 1/8th" to 1/4" white showing at the bottom third and I couldn't bring myself to bid to win. If I ever hook that whale, then, I would be willing to part with: ![]() In the meantime, this remains the placeholder. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Jesse_O I like this. My "white" is definitely the cover to More Fun #52. I already have a coverless copy and at this point it may be easier just to find a complete copy than just the cover, but it's priced more than what I want to pay for a comic book that isn't a Detective Comic #27. My "whales" are the following: Blue Beetle #54, Bold Stories #1, Harvey Library Comics #1, Punch Comics #10, Witches Tales #25, Black Cat Mysteries #55, and probably a few others I left off. |

this discussion has gotten bigger then I expected. its actually kind of helped me find one of mine "Ultimate fallout #4". someone is selling me a facsmile edition. I know its basically a remake but its still collectible and realistically only way I can get it. will get it graded as soon as I can (i know not as much but still valuable) | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by GAC @GAC - I did consider, but in comparing yellow labeled to this red label, i thought the red label just blends a little better and makes the Red in the title sweep and cosmos pop. So I am keeping as is. I made the opposite decision with my X-Men 100 as I thought the yellow worked better with the greens and yellows of that cover, so I re-holdered that. |

Mine is either Journey Into Mystery #83 or Fantastic Four #5. I "need" both, but I'm not sure which one I want to prioritize. It probably doesn't matter since I'd need the hobby to crash for either one to happen, so I'll get both. Waiting... |

I missed ordering Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur #40 and while I can find it online shipping has made getting it prohibitive so I am hoping it will EVENTUALLY show up locally. Definitely not cool like the others in this list but it is my current white whale. | ||
