| It was quite a surprise when I picked up a copy of MORE FUN #101 off the newsstand to find placed between AQUAMAN and JOHNNY QUICK a 5-page story, the first story, of SUPERBOY. In later years I discovered it also contained the last GA appearance of THE SPECTRE.     mm  |

And DICK TRACY received his first monthly issue in January 1948.  mm |

| @martymann looking at your collection it dawns on me that buying comic books in the 40's and holding them turned out to be kind of a kids version of investing in Real Estate. Certainly we all wish we could have bought Real Estate in the 40's, and certainly kids couldn't afford to. But with your dimes and nickels you made your little weekly investments, not even realizing what you were doing at the time. Just like prime real estate, they became more and more rare over the years. Now many of those 10 cent investments are worth 3,000-30,000 times the amount that you invested. Probably even a much better percentage return than if you had been able to buy real estate. | ||

| @EbaySeller Thank you for your kind words...every once in awhile it is brought to my attention that my collection of 750+ comics were purchased for around $80.00...if only I had a few more dimes back then. Marty |

| @martymann that photo-cover Captain Marvel caught my eye and I bought one on Ebay last month. I also took a long look at a #92 but the copy I was looking at was pretty low grade. Most of the Captain Marvel books are still priced reasonably enough that I don't like to go below 4.0 or so. | ||
