|
| Here is the only example I have of my original want list returned to me with prices quoted from the dealer. Mr. Kovers claims in his letter that his comics are Mint "not used shabby ones you may get from others." In 1967 Mint probably meant todays's Fine+ or Very Fine. |

|
| Circa 1970. Anyone for comic book Russian roulette? Mr. Beckett says his comics are in the usual "good to mint" except for 10 that were missing all or part of the covers. Don't worry, if you get one of those he will refund your money. |

| Grand Book Center catalog |
|
| Circa 1970. Passaic Books had more interesting catalogs. I don't think I ever bought anything from Grand Book Center. |

|
| Circa 1970. Advertising fanzine but it didn't last long as far as I know. This page shows Bob Overstreet trying to sell his newfangled comic book price guide and Jerry Weist charging the outrageous sum of $5.00 for his EC fanzine Squa Tront #4. |

|
| Circa 1970. I have lots of letters from Richard Alf but don't recall if I bought any of his comics. I also have flyers from a proposed literary fanzine he was promoting The Sleepy Hollow Society. Was it ever published? |

|
| Circa 1970. Ken Mitchell was a big time Canadian dealer. Here's an interesting editorial from his catalog where he speculates about future price trends for old comics and reflects on the joy of nostalgia. Sitting in your study away from the mundane world surrounded by your comic books is something we can all relate to. I don't think I ever bought anything from him. I did buy some 1950s Charlton comics with Steve Ditko art in the 1980s from another Canadian dealer, Calvin Slobodian. |

| Jeff Patton price list 1971 |
|
| I ran an ad in The Rocket's Blast Comic -Collector trying to sell my friend Billy Eitel's Marvel collection that I had bought from him. In the ad I noted I was looking for pre-Marvel / Atlas books and a few dealers, including Mr. Patton, responded. |

| Clint's Books letter 1971 |
|
| The comics I ordered from Clint's Books with Jack Kirby art were out of stock but they sent me a letter with some others they had, Black Magic and Justice Traps The Guilty. I was always looking for comics with Steve Ditko and Jack Kirby art even if they weren't Marvels. I had a few Justice Traps The Guilty and I may have gotten them from this letter. |

|
| Ed Noonchester letter 1972 |
|
| Another letter telling me the Jack Kirby comics I wanted were out of stock but with some others listed. I did buy some of these DC comics My Greatest Adventure. The letter also notes in stock the Marvel comic Two Gun Kid #58 with a Kirby dinosaur story. I've always wanted that book but I've never located one yet. |
