Martin's Collection

Awesome! Really like that Christmasland mug too - I hadn't seen that. Thanks for all the great pics!!

No problem. I will try to get more up soon.

Nice adds, Martin! Really like the limited of 20th CG over the trade.

You and me both.

IMO, Martin, it's #884. Judging by how the top of the second 8 is written, the first 8 has that same type line traveling downward. Looks like the pen skimmed over the page on the first 8 leaving the loops open rather than closed.

I thought the same thing at first but the more I looked at the more I questioned if I was right.

[Martin]

Agreed.

Great adds Martin. Gone Girl really does look smart, and the S/L 20th Century Ghosts is quite nice too.

Thanks!

[Dan Hocker]

Yea I would also say that is 884. I know Justin was having some problems with the pen cutting in and out. compound with the odd position of the numbering line.

[Martin]

884 it is then. Thanks!

Argh, I want one of those mugs, darn it. I hemmed and hawed, and finally decided against it...and now am really regretting it. Don't know what the hell I was thinking.

Congrats on yours, and for making the smart decision.

A long shot, but...if anyone else picked up that signed/limited Christmasland mug from Skeleton Crew and would like to flip it for, say, a 50% return -- $30 for $20 mug -- please let me know.

Congrats -- I have that Darknell flip-volume as well, and it's a striking book. Wish Ray wrote more noir...his SEX AND VIOLENCE IN HOLLYWOOD is among his best work, and these two Darknell books aren't too far behind. TRAILER PARK NOIR was also a decent read.

Haven't read them yet but am really looking forward to getting to them.
