@BLBcomics I mean there were a few tangents on the thread but it is mainly focused on print runs in general. I'd love to hear some knowledge or if you'd like to start your own thread that's fine too!!!! Also, when is the book due?? Sounds like a good read. . . | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by shrewbeer Yes, really, SB. The issue has nothing to do with being off-topic, and I think the word you're looking for is "condescension", which some of you might see a lot less of if you weren't so keen on finding it so very often. There's nothing wrong whatsoever with "derailing" a thread, and strict adherence to any single topic isn't how humanity operates. Try that at a dinner party, and see how far one gets. The issue here is that the affidavit return fraud of the late 60's/early 70's had nothing to do with the issue of ASM #300 distribution and sales in 1988, which connection Bob was intimating. That's not "slightly" off-topic...the two are unrelated. Not sure what being an "old guy" has to do with anything. I treat people based on the content of their posts, not their appearance. Oh, and if you find a fact...or "fact"...that isn't correct that I've said, there's nothing at all stopping you or anyone from correcting those facts. Isn't knowledge and understanding for all the goal...? It is for me. Only the proud take offense at correction. |

@NilesPaine I really dont know, its a tricky one. The front cover is just about flawless aside from a blunted corner. The staples are just a tiny bit "sunken" looking (someone inexperienced pressed the loving hell out of it) The back cover though.. it has 4-5 very small foxing spots, and the purpose of pressing was... back in the day comics were delivered in bundles that were tied with string (and even farther back, metal cable/wire). This particular book was on the bottom of one of those bundles; thus it had four extremely deep impressions in a cross! Joe (@cfp) made them *almost disappear. TBH after I thought about it, I'm actually glad that there are some very faint lines left; as it tells a story about older funny book deliveries. It could grade anywhere between 5.5-8.0 methinks. Yes thats a huge range lol; this particular book with its unique flaws I have no idea how to grade ![]() |

Quote:Originally Posted by shrewbeer @CFP_Comics LOL how in the?? Ye, you know that's an interesting notion and would probably make for a good thread. "A Comic's Story." You wonder some of these books where they've been how they got there, how people acquired them, what happened to them. I can appreciate that. Anywho, looking forward to the results. Such an awesome cover too. And not coming full circle but back around. I wonder what the print run on THAT was??? Late 50's I think?? |

One of the comics has the word "Battle" in it. Another one is "Robin Hood" (I think), maybe someone can recognize the cover. ![]() |

You comics sleuths sussing out what was on the wall of my Berkeley store 1977 have side-tracked me a bit going thru your guesses of what was for sale on the wall that week. Here is a 1987 pic in my Haight Ashbury store front to make merry with. That said,"affidavit return fraud" increases beginning late 60s thru 1973 is what led to Phil Seuling being able to add in Code comics out of Sparta in to the already existing Direct Market. I have been buried busy this week end working on my eBay and Amazon internet comics stores hence less time to devote to research concepts. I did not mean or want this AmSpi 300 thread derailed per se. My thoughts expressed earlier were not dwelling on 1988 #300 as distribution concepts every five years or so are different than any other given half decade time span. A near complete picture of "affidavit return fraud" is laid out inside 25,000 words inside Comic Book Artist #6 #7 (1999/2000) which I feel bold enough to say Neal Adams told me the research presented there restored his self esteem regarding working in comics again. Hopefully I will get a stand alone thread on Affidavit Returns Fraud going in this forum next day or so. It is not an easy tale to tell as there was a lot of varied energy going on then ![]() |
