Welcome to DCM - how old are you poll?

[bobcat]

I am an avid Golden Age comic book collector. I started collecting comics when I was much younger and I had an extensive collection. Not knowing what the true value of my collection was, I sold them at a ridiculous low price; would you believe Detective No.27 sold for $15.00 and I thought that it was a great deal. However, with the internet, times have changed and I now know better.
Today my collection consists in great part of Fawcett Publication comics.  I have the complete Captain Marvel -  Mr. Mind Serial collection as well as many of the first Captain Marvel Adventure comics. I also have various other publisher comics that I cherish. All my comics are in the VG+ to FVF condition.
 condition.
I am very pleased to have come across your site and it was by pure coincidence. I really did not know that such a site existed. I will certainly use it and contribute to its success.

Welcome bobcat. If you worry about lowering the condition of you books by scanning you may want to consider sending them to Rangerhouse. He has a set-up that takes good care of book. We  hope you can fill some holes or even replace some fiche with paper scans.

Hi Al, welcome to the site.
That's a heartbreaking story about selling off your old collection so cheap.
Yes, if you are interested in safely having some of your books scanned without crushing them in a conventional consumer scanner Rangerhouse has a professional level scanner which takes digital pictures of each page.  He's scanned thousands of comics for JVJ and some other members of the site.  He's 100% trustworthy.

Enjoy the scans here and if you need any help, etc about anything just let me know,

Hi folks--
Used to be Johnofthe Golden Age but lost cookie and wasn't able to get it back.  It has been several years and I don't use the email I originally registered with.  Will put new info in a safe place against cookie loss.

My favorites--going clear back to about 1945--Marvel Family and the Phantom (unavailable, of course).

Do not like what passes for comic books these days.
