I guess I will start #7.

I never managed to find a better copy of this one

those are the colors I always looked for

my contribution.

Not a fan of the file copies either though I had a couple in this run.

Crowley maybe?

I had hoped to do it in order but blew it before #10. I'm not sure I ever posted some of these before.

Gone but not forgotten.

Definitely one of the premiere covers of the title.

Thanks, I think I was about half-way done with the entire run so I still have a few to share.

Wow Comics was one of the titles I was working on when I stopped collecting. I thought it was unappreciated, like a lot of Fawcetts, and it was generally easy to find good copies.

Once upon a time I would have had hundreds of books for this, but reality sucks sometimes. I have hung onto some titles that are rare, high grade, special, and generally low value because I expect I would sell them at a loss and prefer to just keep them. THis is one. 79 year old, white page, blindlingly white cover (it's inked), and it looks like it was just printed. I think I have almost all of my Large Feature books still.

#3 was an issue I thought was very hard to track down. I'm not sure I ever saw another copy other than the Billy Wright copy.

My old copy.

I can attest to the early slabs bowing. I had a few SA and BA books where the bowing was noticeable; much more severe than the example earlier in the thread. They were bowed enough that I was concerned about potential damage to the spine. I also recall that book damage in the earliest slabs could be severe, especially in books with an overhang. I think CGC had a rapid response when this was first reported because it really shook the basis of their business plan. Early on in my collecting, I got books in early slabs that did not seem to warrant the grade.

The difference between brittle and CR/OW is such a huge gap that I would question the grading until someone showed me proof one way or the other.

Thank you, guys. It is great work and there have been a lot of great people involved. I've been able to get both the indigenous community and expatriate communities working together to help with moving the trees from my nursery to the planting sites. These are just a few of the photos I have from the last year. The first shows some of the planting areas in the cloud forest I am restoring. The second shows one of the first landowners to begin planting trees. Nelson Rojas planted over 1,000 trees on his farm to help restore the local watershed. The last is from the big volunteer day we had where the indigenous and expat communities helped us load and unload over 5,000 trees in one day.

Things are good here. Plenty of problems from the virus but my area is fairly remote so it is easy to isolate. Plenty of work to keep me busy and new things to learn everyday.
