Is that FC 4 the copy just sold by bigloo on ebay?

I say keep them as is forever and write a good will. Who needs CGC unless you plan to sell. If you plan to sell, best thing you can do is get them pedigreed and sell them yourself on ebay or hire someone to set up your own website. At 1000 books even if they start to get "worse" (ie Feature , Popular, etc) you are seriously looking at nearly $1,000,000 in comics and more if you have a Tec 27 in grade (which I feel is coming). I feel kind of dumb profering advice, just hope no jackals snarf a couple up from you. BTW, please allow for the entire comic to show in the scanner, its nice to be blown away by a book and not have to wonder if there is any little glitch where you can't see. Plus poor Ebayers are notorious for cropping images of low grade books and making them look like they are "sharp" This isn't the case with your books, clearly but these gems aren't being presented in their best light. Actually, they look great all except for the top edge. I'm shocked by the Adventure 40 but those Weekly's are pretty sick too. Not a collection you see everyday and especially one that hasn't been bought by a major dealer. Great to see the original finder showing them off. Ed

Scrooge, Is the Joe Palooka review coming? I wanted to see what you said about the Commie book you bought from me. Thread needs a bump anyway. Just say no to Pre Robin Tecs....sheesh.

It is Bronze war after all. OK a crappy comic but high grade. We needed a DC break anyway.

Selling in a - every books has a price - kind of way. As opposed to needing the money. I'll give it a month and take it down if it doesn't sell. I like that the book is protected by a CGC case much more than the potential for disaster taking the book out of mylar every so often. Another benefit of CGC is the temptation to handle the book is much smaller. Ed

I was pretty happy with the results of this.

Ed please post the CGC version if you could. Here's the final result.

A guy called about his retired brother who was selling off his collection. He hadn't looked at these in 30+ years and was selling the lot. He bought mostly magazines and some comics with a bent towards horror/sci-fi. They're now in storage until the bags and boards show up. I've shown a few of the comics on the grading and bronze board since I was able to bag and board those. I just hate that they are floating around with no protection right now. I know I've already cause some minor faults just in transporting them in the first place. But what can you do?

I realize these are reprints but I still like the covers, and they're in decent shape.

The book is actually at the Post Office and I have an orange slip and a trip out of town this weekend Here's the comic, it has a loose cover too so there may be some notes - not sure yet. I know the pages were nice though probably Off White.

That is a great pickup. Whatever happened to that Tec 35 with the victim totally replaced with a humorous amateur restoration job? BTW, I just got back my Tec 37 from CGC as a Blue label 1.5, pictures are in the thread somewheres 20 pages back. Love the affordable issues like these. Ed

A ton of magazines but comics too. Near full run of Vampirella, Creepy and Eerie as well as other Warren Eerie Marvel and Charlton publishing. All Monsters, Sci Fi and Movie across the board. Comic titles reflect the same, very few superhero but a ton of sci fi, horror, movie related. Some DC horror too but thats spotty. Its a nice large collection where the mags and comics are unread. No bags and boards though as they were stored in shirt boxes and grocery bags. The Vampirellas are still unbagged since I don't have any magazine bags yet. I'll be a regular here on the magazine boards as I scan these issues. ed
