Ralph Carlson
Notes:
Originally credited to Battefield, but this art is much more accurate than his. Carlson is credited on Buck Jones by Jerry Bails' Who's Who, and he can be recognised by his horses with rather long, narrow tapering heads, like a sea horse, and especially his way of drawing the legs of horses. On panel 4 on page 1 is to notice the outstreched frontlegs the brown horse, almost standing like a rocking horse. He often draw the legs of running horses streched out in front, and then always as if the upper outline is slightly concave. This leg rendering is very special for Carlson, and can also be found in his many Rocky Lane stories. He drew Buck Jones in about 25 issues of Master Comics.

Guided navigation is the ability to add and remove keywords and categorizations of items to filter your results. As you add these filters,
they appear in the breadcrumb trail above the search results. You can remove any filter from the breadcrumb trail at any time.
How do I start my search?
Start your search as you've always done. From the home page, catalog home page, or search page, you can select a keyword
and choose a coin type such as "Nickels" or "Barber Half Dollars", and then click "Search". Much of the time, this will be all you need!
How do I narrow my search?
You can add a filter in the left column, such as "Category", "Current Bid Range", "Reserve Status", "Grade Range", and so on. Each time you
make such a selection, the listing of results will become smaller, showing only those items that meet all the criteria you have selected.
You can also enter one or more keywords, such as "The Godfather", if that will help your search. Sometimes a new selection will open up new
sub-selection possibilities; for instance, once you choose to look for a poster graded between Fine and Very Fine, you can then narrow your search to a single grade.
How do I expand my search?
You can add or drop fields or keywords from your results at any time. Above the listing of results is a complete list of the filters you
have selected. Click on any filter to remove it, and the page will refresh to show all items matching the new broader specifications.
I don't see the category (filter) I am looking for in the Guided Navigation?
The guided navigation section only lists things that contain results. For example, if you are looking at all items in grade Near Mint to Mint,
then the category filter will only include categories with items in that grade. To expand your list of categories, remove the grade filter from
your breadcrumb trail by clicking on it.
Using "quotes" around your search phrase can help narrow the results to exactly what you are interested in. A search for plastic man without quotes
will return all results that contain both "plastic" and "man", in any order.
A search for "plastic man" in quotes returns all results with the exact phrase plastic man, in that order.
Try your search first without any search words in the optional search box, then narrow it down.
This will produce more items, and once you see how the items are listed you can narrow your search results
with more accurate search words.
Search ALL or search by Category?
If you're looking for only Golden Age Horror comics, by all means choose "Golden Age Horror" from the drop-down
list. If you're searching for items that span multiple types, choose a more general selection such as "Golden Age".
If you are looking for items that could show up anywhere, choose "All".
Search just auctions, or just private offerings, or both?
The search from our home page searches everything we have to offer. Try that first.
Think of the one search word that best describes the item you are looking for and search for that.
Maybe it's a character (like Dracula), or even a date and artist (1972 Gene Colan).
When using more than one search word, try using "OR" and "NOT".
When you use multiple search words, the search results are trying to find items with ALL of those words in the
description. Try using "OR" and "NOT". If you're interested in all items from 1972 or relating to Dracula, you
can enter "1972 OR Dracula". Or, if you are interested in items relating to but not from 1972, you could enter
"Dracula NOT 1972.
Avoid punctuation marks unless required.
Don't use commas, periods, dashes, etc., unless required - such as in proper name (Spider-Man).
Still Can't Find What You're Looking For?
Perhaps we don't have the item you are looking for now, but chances are we will soon.
Add the particular item(s) you are looking for to our "MyWantlist®" and you'll be notified
as soon as it/they become available. If you would like further assistance, please don't
hesitate to contact us.
