eBay finds

[Roygbiv666]

Done. I'm gonna read it first though 

Hi Roy,
I'm sure I can find you someone to scan it if you want to buy and send it to them.
Loftypilot comes to mind.

Hi Roygbiv,
unfortunately I can’t be of help with the scans for the distance, but I’m glad you bought it. I’m not familiar with "Wonder Comics", but it looks promising. The eBay seller "basementcomics" is great for these coverless copies, indeed.

On another matter, I guess I can cease being scaramantic since I already received the first comic book (shipped from New York, less than a week to get there: never received a package from the USA so quickly). It‘s issue 2 of "The Challenger" from Interfaith Publications. Now I just need to find the time to complete scanning the Daredevil #12 before that.

Loftypilot is willing to scan it so no fear vaillant.

Oh, I sure hope you do get that Daredevil 12 scanned someday!

Roy, I sent you a PM on the Wonder 7 book.

In fact, the Daredevil Comics #12 is already halfway, but I have little time, and since the book is a GD- I have also to handle it with care to prevent it from falling apart… But don’t worry, it will see the light! 

While we are talking of "eBay finds", should it happen someone stumbles upon a copy of National Comics #17, I would greatly appreciate if you could tell me. I have bought a copy which is incomplete (missing centerfold and an additional half page) and although the seller has offered me a partial refund I find myself with a mutilated copy.

Got it, thanks.

Lofty is one of my oldest online friends Roy, so you're in good hands.

This is not in very good shape, but is missing from the Museum. I'll probably buy it if it stays low (I'm the high bidder right now). If I get it I'll scan and upload.

GL W!

Note - this issue IS on the Unscanned JVJ List and might someday be requested for scanning by Rangerhouse or one of the other JVJ Scanners.  So you might want to check the list before deciding to bid unless it's something you really wanted for your own collection anyway.

If you do win we certainly would welcome your scan of the issue for the collection.

Believe me, I'm not going to spend much on this one. I have a set price limit and if it goes over i'm done.

Edit: I won it. $12.50 after shipping didn't seem unreasonable to me. I don't have many Golden Age books, so I've been trying to pick up whatever I can. When I hold them in my hands I get this... feeling I guess. Like I'm in the presence of greatness or something. Anyway you can expect a scan and upload after I receive it. It will be my first full-book scan. I'm also waiting for Joe Palooka's Battle Adventures Vol.2 #71 which I'll scan the missing pages and fill the upload here already.

Congrats on the win Watson.
I'm sure we all know what you mean about the joy of holding a piece of history in your hands.  The smell is important to the feeling as well.

GL with the scanning.

Watson if you want to pick up cheap GA check out www.milehigh.com. They regularly run sales and right now is fifty percent of with
 MADNESS! codeword. I got lucky with sixty percent off not long ago. I paid around $200 for about $500 worth of books. I still get lots of books from ebay also.

Amazing considering your avatar Narf!

I thought about trying the same with Confessions of Love 11 cover 
That is the most I get around as an old man, closest to cheating I've ever come.
