@GAC not sure if the Tavour app ships to Canada, but it’s a great way to get beers that aren’t local. Consider yourself warned though, that app is almost as addictive as this hobby  |

        happy to finally add a visions 1 to the collection, hard mag to come by. Got them all for a little over the last sale for a visions 1 6.0. These books probably won't or don't appeal to most collectors, love the obscure stuff |

     I'm a sucker for these simple sketches. Love the Doom and Galactus. By far my favorite is the more fun with the Spector and Dr Fate |

Quote:Originally Posted by EbayMafia unfortunately I don't have any of the other Vision books but I do have most of the Carrot comics and a few ashcans and a sketch or two - might have to add the other early appearances to the 'want' list? |

 It was a one trick pony show but always hilarious.

Quote:Originally Posted by Batman66 Very cool! Is there a backstory to these sketches? Are they of the time of the book or much later? Were the sketches done by an artist or an owner of the book? |

| @GAC I'm sure it was done by a kid who owned the book. Just think it adds to the history of the book, like a date stamp but much more unique, just love it | ||

I pre-ordered a 9.8 copy of this for fifty bucks, plus shipping. The vendor contacted me and told me that he had not been able to get enough 9.8 copies to fill the orders, and offered the options of a refund, a 9.8 of the "A" cover, or 9.6 copies of both. I countered with the 9.6 and a partial refund. Not sure what I was expecting, but the vendor gave me $43 back. A very pleasant surprise. Working on my GI Combat run. Whenever I find a decent copy for a good price that I don't have, I pick it up. As long as it's complete, anyway.  |

Quote:Originally Posted by Batman66 That's one of the many reasons why I collect golden age books! The fact that a kid bought this book, read/used it and it survived the ravages of time to be enjoyed now. The concept of monetizing that book didn't cross their minds in the golden age. |

Uncut 1954 Jim Solar mini giveaways. These would have been cut into 3 individual comics.    |

In that sketch I see a dog who pee'd on the carpet being scolded by an angry owner. Probably just my conditioning from having a puppy. Quote:Originally Posted by Batman66 |

Speaking of sketches... I think little Johnny probably has some 'splainin to do. Or maybe little Mary does? |
