San Digeo Comic Con 2008/ Thanks Jay Lynch

Nice pickups!

Try collecting British undergrounds if you think 2,000 copies is a low print run. Once you get away from titles such as Cozmic Comics (or anything from H. Bunch) and Nasty Tales, the average print run is between 50 to 500 copies, and I'm talking about full-size comics with color covers, not minis as would be the case with such print runs here in the states.

Forgot to mention the nice Graham Nash collection.  Highlights: They had a 9.6 Tales from the Ozone #1 that sold as well as a Jizz (double cover) that I think was a first print graded pretty high that I don't think sold, among many more high grade Ug's.

The Jiz was a 9.0

The CGC comics are noted with "From the collection of Graham Nash".  I was told by a Heritage employee that many of his comics came from Jerry Weist's personal collection. There are hundreds & hundreds of undergrounds, most have not been CGC graded. For now, the prices are very aggressive but if you are also a CS&N nut, you have to have a couple in your collection.

The dealer handling the sale told me 2 other CGC comics were sold, a CGC 9.4 Mister Natural #1 (First Print-Cream/Off-White) pages and a CGC 8.5 Funny Aminals.

[EggsAckley]

My purchases included 2 Nash Books, the Ozone & a Big Ass #1 (CGC-2nd),

Raw books:

Dr. Atomic Marijuana Multiplier (No price on cover, yellow/black)
Big Ass #1 (Red Box-probable new first)-Thanks to Guy for spotting it.
Big Ass #2 (First)
Kosmic City Komics
Die Gretchen
Low Grade Freak Brothers #1 Black Tire

[EggsAckley]

BTW, Dr. S has an unbelievable selection of underground comix, if you need it, he probably has it. He even had a hardback Head Comix with him.

[Visitor Q]

How was the Graham Nash collection being sold?

A relative of Graham's, MIchael Diaz consigned some of the books to a dealer, Steve Wyatt (He is the one who wrote the article about the Malcolm Whyte collection in the Fogel guide).

[50Cent #II (1st print)]

I believe Michael mentioned that that was just for the SD show and that after the show they would decide if he would continue to do so.

[Visitor Q]

Interesting...

What did from the Ozone #1 sell for and to whom?
