So who all followed this one?

[dr_s]

At 2k I don't know why I would have passed. At 3k, I would be buying for resale and that would have been marginal. From Jan to Oct I went on a squandering spree and may have been tapped out for marginal profit items. I still don't remember. (which is bad on my part) I must have overlooked the autograph part however. That would have had an influence. As for condition, if you are buying for other than reading purposes, which in many cases is enough, then the difference between a cgc 5 and a cgc 6 makes a big difference for resale. SInce I have 5 Zap 1s already, I don't buy new ones for reading.
P.s. Your stuff will go out today or Friday.
P,p.s If you want to continue this zap discussion, I won't  bore the others, you can pm or call and bs for an hour. Love Arnie

Yeah it even came with a hand written letter from Charles Prymell about it. Maybe this will spark your brain a little but it had a pot burn on the front over and in the letter Charles had reflected about it. Either way, it's gone...

Ok, Arnold... Thank You.

Yeah I will give you a call once the books arrive.

Best,
Jason

At least in my end term stupor I know that I am not crazy. A comic with a stain on the cover would not sexually arouse me to the point of $2k. With a stain I would say it was a 2-3. I didn't buy neatsuff's burnt ones for $1k and know that I would not have bought this one. Although, I still worry that at 108 I seem to be forgetting things too easily,

well... i bought a burned Plymell straight from Donahue (that was held back from the Neatstuff deal) because i felt it was the only way that i would be able to afford the book.  that is why i first began inquiring after salvaged Zaps.  this auction is testimony to the demand that continues to drive this book's value. 

[Visitor Q]

See to me that is just stupid and I mean no offense to you directly for my comments. I just don't get why anyone in their right mind would buy a comic that was knowingly damage when I'm sure you have a reprint or access to what's inside. I mean this to me is a case of those hats you see at "The Gap" or some other yuppie joint. There come new but looks like they have been worn for years or pre-ripped jeans... I mean why in the hell would people buy clothes like? Shit when my clothes get like that I throw them the hell away!

Crazy!!

<--- Is getting old.

Ee-gawds, Jason.  This isn't a damaged comix.  This is a piece of history.  It's like owning a piece of the Berlin Wall (its a piece of concrete), or a lump of Trinitite (its a rock).

Actually, Jason, you have been taken over by the spirit of a mother who threw out all the comics of someone who would be a millionaire today if he was an orphan. The best way you can cure this curse is to win the lottery and squander on  comics. The old lady will pull out of you and melt before your eyes. (See the end of Tin Man) Love  Doc

P.S. Today is my younger son's birthday. He read Cherry Poptart when he was 2. (He is 78) We are visiting  him at Attica over the weekend to celebrate.

  ...mmm, toasty.

Call it how you like but my thoughts are still the same.

This isn't the Liberty Bell people!

ps.

It's funny you put it that way because like I have mention (I think) on here before... I am a big horror movie fan as well and I remember being at a convention and I recall correctly it was Gunner Hansen who was selling like soil in vials or something from some part in the movie where Texas Chainsaw Massacre was shot... Please. Give me a fucking break already!

"Plaster casts of Trina's navel  $2.95"

[Visitor Q]

"Plaster casts of Trina's navel - $2"

Is that minus $2, where she has to pay me? If so, sign me up!

Jason

[Comix Junky]

No. I like Trina.
And i remembered it wrong.
It should be $2.95

[Visitor Q]

Yeah she ok I suppose.

Jason

[Comix Junky]

Yeah, whatever.
What i'm saying is,
Your dealer selling Texas Chainsaw soil,
reminds me of this dealer selling "Yellow Dog poo...   .50/lb."
