Silver got a reaction from FoggyNelson in Project: Sugar and Spike
This next one was one I picked up from a board member at the SDCC. A nice looking copy:

Not sure I could afford a number 1 in that shape if one became available. In 1986 I was at the San Diego Comic Con in the old convention center and Windy City Comics from Chicago had a #1 in that type of condition. It was priced at $400 and I didn't have that much. I have never regretted not being able to buy a book as much as I do that one. At least I know one exists.

my next issue is one I picked up recently at San Diego through Metropolis. I haven't taken it out of the slab yet, but it's coming
Ths issue reminded me of when my wife and daughter and I went saucering at Mt. Charelston and my daughter and I crashed the saucer and she fractured her collar bone and my wife crashed into a tree...

I have seen some pretty high grade Fox and Crow's here and there latley. Would love to see your collection. Fox and the Crow would be the other book I would say was excellent non super hero stuff coming from DC. Fox and the Crow were so popular, they were in more than one comic for awhile. Excellent writing!

Ten years later I finished my Superboy run 2-258 just about 10 years ago. Been looking for a nice #1 for a long time, but this book is notorious for being miscut, staples on the cover, dull colors, writing on covers, etc. Finally the wait is over....
Superboy 1-258 complete, 1-26 all CGC'd

That's a great book, I think you see the 2 very infrequently.

the last entry into Project: Sugar and Spike for 2013
This one from a recent CC auction. If you look up a couple of posts you will see an eerily similar cover, actually an almost identical cover in #55, however, this one seems redrawn to me.
The final issue of Sugar and Spike, and my 25% mark in the project:

Ok, this isn't in my target 8.0 range, but I couldn't pass it up, looked good enough for me

I have won one Savannah copy, and to my knowledge it may have the most high grade copies of any pedigree, certainly deeper than the Oakland run. Whover the buyers of the Savannah's are, in some case they have paid huge prices, which I simply won't do. They can duke it out for the 9.4/9.6's and I will buy 8.5's and 9.0 when I can.
Since you brought it up, here is my most recent addition. Black cover, white pages

A white cover with really cool colors and awesome page quaility, plus I love the early 12 cent logo!

I have always liked this series. If you have never read an issue, you really miss out on the genius of Sheldon Mayer, both artistically and his writing. Finding issues in nice shape can be a real challenge due to the fact that they were mostly marketed towards kids plus they weren't seen as collectible till long after the series was over.
Once in awhile I see a nice issue and I pick it up. I have decided to only go after high grade issues (VF or better). I will post my new acquisitions as I get them. You may go awhile between updates, my progress has been slow.
I will start by posting the ones I have already.
You'll like, Sugar and Spike!
