Just bought this one from a board member, thanks Doiby.

I thought my note would be read in jest. I think its kind of funny and sort of a treat.

Looks like comics.org looks at the CGC boards. They used my image of Richie Rich 1 .... and without my permission no less. http://comics.org/covers.lasso?SeriesID=12658

The covers from 1-26 are some of the best Golden Age covers ever. After that they get more and more goofy. Here are two of the goofiest. I guess the gag here is that Lois isn't a very good cook and here "hard" muffins hurt Superman. Or that Superman is just poking fun at the fact that he can't be hurt. EIther way its stupid. Notice him winking, you can barely see it. Superman, fully clothed, with a lifeguard hat on. He is very serious though and not distracted by the hot looking babes showing adoration. Thanks for the image, next time just make him gay and get it over with.

Always room in a collection for a Richie Rich #1. Just got 'er today.

Those classic #1 issues are sort of self generated classics (Action 1 is a classic, Batman or Superman 1 are typical #1 issues, no real artistic jazz) . The #24 is a top 10 in my opinion but pales in comparsion to the 14. I have always thought that classic covers were just that "Classic" There are awesome Horror, Torture, WWII Nazi books but Classic is a category in and of itself and 14 is by far the most classic of all. For my money, classic covers are either fight scenes or almost artistic poses. I'm thinking of Captain midnight covers, Captain Marvel Jr and master Comics covers. Certain Frazetta Covers. Even typical DC or Marvel classics like Flash 123, certain Batman Bronze, Surfer 4, FF 25 & 112, Spiderman 39 50 etc. Superman 14 is in a class by itself.

Superman 14 - I can't get over the tears on the pages, major downgrade

My brain broke looking at your 14. Has this been voted the most classic cover of all time yet?

Kudos to Nikos for sending an ASM 13 before I paid for it. (Check went out today BTW)

Not only will it sell, it'll sell for $200 to $250 I bet. Remember the Batman 31 front cover only auction? http://boards.collectors-society.com/sho...true#Post816582 It sold for $550, I figure half that for this POS will be the max.

If you ever wanted a cheap pre Robin Detective - this is it. They just don't get any fuglier though, and hey, its complete.... http://cgi.ebay.com/Detective-Comics-36-...1QQcmdZViewItem

Archie 10 and the only Archie I have.

Spidey 99, classic nostrel shot. <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v37/ft888/asm99.jpg">

My contribution .

The Archie 10 is the highest graded copy from 1-10?

I guess the Gondola driver and the girl are Archie too?!?!?

Not the most common Timely, in fact I'm not even sure it is a Timely but Overstreet says it is so it must be true. Actually, any info on this publisher would be of help to me. Inside front cover says 1945 Euclid Publishing Company, 350 Fifth Avenue.

Since we are posting Archies, I just got this in from a board member. Classic Archie cover with the fish, barber pole, and moon with full Archie face.

Another cursive P, D, or L in pencil, these have to come from a similar collection or its a distribution notation of some sort. Nice book by the way

I bought these as part of a Disney collection 1-88 that I've shown in other threads. These three were 3 of 4 that graded 8.0 or better. The gentleman who bought them collected them in the 60's and he recently passed away. It was interesting that his notes on the books had questions about Carl Barks and other things that must have been tough to learn back in those days. The prices he paid were pretty interesting as well as you can imagine. Most of the books were VG to F but these really stood out.

Just back from CGC. Was it really necessary to note the puzzle filled in with pencil, no wonder its tempting to go in and erase it before submission.

Avengers 57, nice to see a key as one of the better books in a collection, most of the surrounding issues were 8's or 8.5's

Avengers 13

Just bought a collection of Avengers and X-men. Here are some of the gems
