Look for DWC to start offering signature opps in cooperation with Celebrity Authentics. We did do a coop opportunity involving Chris Hemsworth last month. So look forward to future opps as well. Can't wait!

Nice! Are you getting the Archie fever? I've had the fever for years

A couple digests for my collection. A cool French Canadian one.

poop I did like that asm 300 but not that much !! The sticker is from the auction house that originally sold the collection (if I'm not mistaken). As for the Polish comics, they are super hard to find, but It's real cool when you actually find them (thumbs u

If you do, good luck! They are SUPER hard to find. Like, SUPER SUPER.

A few more Polish comics:

Nice!

Yes, yay. Congrats Sarah!

Nice! Do you have a scan!

Do you guys have any #1 Digests? I have a copy of Laugh Digest #1, Jughead with Archie Digest #1, Jughead DD #1, and Archie... Archie Andrews, Where Are You? Digest #1.

Agreed! I have most of the set. The covers by Rex W. Lindsey are pretty cool, and Jughead's solo stories are hilarious and usually very entertaining.

Got some foreigns coming in, plus 3 more Polish books to scan...

Double post, my bad.

AMAZING quality book! Nice sig too!

So how complete are your guys' digest collections?

You don't love them as much as I do. Just ask my son Jughead.

I collect Archie Digests

Well, I can tell you most all of them had incredibly low print runs. These things are MUCH harder to find than AF 15 or such rare keys. It's rare to find these online at all, but when you do, it's hard to find two similar copies. I'd never even heard of the Polish ones until the member who sold these to me explained the history behind them. I'll try to see if I can find the print run in the comic, but it can't have been more than about 1000. Most of those probably went unsold and were destroyed, and the others disappeared or worn out over time. I believe these were printed in the US since they mostly match the paper quality and material. Rarity depends on the country, though. There are many German and British comics graded on the census, but zero Hungarian, Russian or Polish comics. There are LCS's that stock back issues in Germany and Spain, and probably others. However, I haven't heard of any in Mexico. It also gets hard to find these since lots of smaller countries don't have eBay, but rather smaller auction sites that don't get as many users and aren't as secure. I've been lucky in finding these via the odd eBay listing, and some very nice members on this board who live in countries like Poland, Spain, Belgium and Japan. The Danish reprints of Spider-Man (which I collected when I was growing up in Denmark) had print runs in the 20-30k range in the 1980s & 1990s - there's no chance whatsoever Marvel would ever give a license to a foreign publisher if said publisher was only going to print 1,000 copies of their flagship title. They were also printed locally - which is the case for pretty much all of Marvel's european reprints. Thanks for the corrected info (thumbs u This is still a learning process for me as well. 20-30k I'd love to find some of those in unopened, Mint condition.

I think there should be a separate set for the TPB's. Some of them do have collectibility to them, so they shouldn't be completely disregarded.

One of a few awesome Polish comics from a Polish boardie Uploaded with ImageShack.us

And from a collection pickup? insane!!!

DR.X Be thankful it was in a white area. Should press out no problem. We'll for any of you who might be curious, the book has been pressed and re-graded and is on it's way back to me. It maintained the 9.6 grade it had previously gotten. Let's just hope it survives the trip this time...keeping my fingers crossed. Congrats!
