The Blog of the Usenet Group--53,000 Comics Scanned for Posterity!
One year, that is, since the last post! Does anybody ever read this blog anymore?
Since we're only 8 books away from completing the Superhero books and only a tad over 1,000 books away from knocking out the whole thing, I figured it would be a good time to take an inventory on what everyone has left to scan. We're getting close enough in some areas that it might make sense to go out and buy the missing issues, either individually or as a pool. I'll post my books as a comment to this post, and if you have any please do the same.
I have accumulated several coverless books and books with missing centerfolds over the years. It may be that someone else has the missing parts from these books or needs them to make a complete copy. Post your "haves" and "needs" here or in abpc.
As some of you may have gathered from the posts to the group this week, we are making an attempt to get the ball rolling on the ACG Project. Only about 10% of the books from this often overlooked publisher have been scanned so far, so there is a considerable amount of work to be done.
I propose that we sell it with a $300 opening bid, no reserve. We should put it in the featured auction group, which will cost us $20. I would suggest using Paypal, request input on whether we should accept Paypal from credit cards (which I believe will cost us about another $20 at $360). Any other suggestions (like what to put in the header) would be appreciated. I will certainly include a scan of the splash; should we include a scan of the crossword (which was mentioned in one email to the original seller)? I will also make sure to notify the two bidders below us that the comic is back on the market. Here's my proposed wording:
Dick Ayers Graphic Novel Biography.
