If ever there was a time to have a video of Roy, August in Chicago is that time!

Will these printing smudges affect grade?

 

 

 

 

 

 

HOwabout this not quite appropriate staple?

 

 

thanks for the help?

they should not affect the grade as they were made in the books printing process. the ink smudges are usually easy to remove with a red eraser from a pencil. be very careful not to touch any other inks as you will remove those and that may affect the grade. the staple came that way.

i found a don and maggie that fits my date criterion.

 

maybe i can get my stuff listed as a collection..that way i can finally sell ya a book....

just trying to keep this thread moving!!

more timely yellow.

 

san francisco!!

I'm so glad you have that book, Jamie! I owned it for years. I bought it for less than $100 from Carl Macek at a Houston Con in either '79 or '80. Sold it in 2003 after picking up a super nice non pedigree for less money than I could sell the SF for at the time. I still miss it though. It was my favorite book for almost all of the time that I had it.

i can't remember where i got it from...who did you sell it to?

Smoking book. How many times has Gator asked you to sell it to him?

every week!!

i know i was doing actions but i wanted to show this baby off.

thanks to cirorac...bill ponseti for finding the more fun collection years ago as this is one of them.

thanks!

i have collected since i was about 9..sold everything off in 1997 and started recollecting almost immediately!

i'm going to put up one of my favorites if you don't mind!!

i was thinking you guys may prefer the supe covers instead...

here is a selection of my run...

That's my old copy on the left.

 

are you serious???

 

 

Won it in a ComicConnect auction in 2010. Sold it to a board member in 2012.

Yep. And I sold it to Graham Crackers last weekend in St. Louis.

geez...i get no respect around here! that book is well traveled at least! it has seen more states than i have!

A 1.. 2... and 14

very nice!

8.0 number two is a hard grade to find! that book always seems to show up in lower grades at shows or restored!

Seeing the thread about the "trimmed" Marvel Mystery made me want to post my Cap 39 which is badly mis-cut and mis-bound. All other Timely's I own are about 1/3 of an inch larger than the Cap.

The interior pages are not large enough (see pictures 2 and 3) and some of the art is cut due to this.

On top of this 2 centerfolds are slightly larger then the other pages and are creased (see picture 4).

I'm wondering if mis-cuts like this occurred often in WW2 Timely's or not (I'm no specialist on the subject).

 

 

 

 

von hammer,

nice book. remember comics are mass produced. anything can happen in the process of printing and binding! remember they were considered throw away entertainment long ago.

i collect oddities like that book..bring it to SD..or you may not get in!! (insert evil laugh here)
