Surprise...grades earlier than expected.

STUNTMAN #1- 5.0 Off-White to White

STUNTMAN #2- 5.0 Off-White to White

Not bad at all for 66 year old books.

mm

We are now in "Scheduled for grading"...should be done by 7/26.

The next thing I need to work on is to see if they will list a Registry

Set for a run of 3 books. I requested it but no answer yet...I know they

have been busy...I'm in no real hurry...we'll see what happens.

mm

Still in verified. Will send SPIRIT #22 & SHOCKSUSPENSE

STORIES #6 off tomorrow.

mm

Just ran across an OSCAR #25 while going through my collection...

forgot I had it. First page (Contents) shows Stan Lee as Managing

Editor & Director of Art. Great full page ad for Tracy Tommy

Gun for $3.79 postpaid including a genuine Tracy Detective Badge.

mm

I haven't abandoned this thread, it's just that my STUNTMAN #1 & #2

are still in verified.

mm

Sorry...no scans.

mm

Noted as "Received"...that means I should have grades, if all

goes as in the past, by July 26th.

Will be shipping SHOCK SUSPENSTORIES #6 and SPIRIT #22

on the 20th.

mm

Hopefully...with any luck, STUNTMAN #1 & #2 should

arrive at Sarasota tomorrow.

Happy 4th of July!

mm

FantaCo on Central Avenue in Albany, NY...went there in the late '70's.

They also ran a really good Convention in the Empire State Plaza.

mm

On the label of my newly graded SUPERBOY #1 it's noted

that this issue contains a full-page ad for Miss Beverly Hills

of Hollywood #1. I don't remember ever seeing this comic on

the newsstand.

mm

As I am sending off two at a time, after STUNTMAN #1 & #2

I guess I'll send in the two Best Looking Books in my collection

for grading...SHOCK SUSPENSTORIES #6 and SPIRIT #22.

They should do between 6.0 & 7.0...but that's just a guess.

mm

As I've mentioned before, my books spent many years in and

out of cardboard boxes moving from town to town. Finally I put

them in plastic bags after attending a Comic Con in 1975. They

stayed that way until a year or so ago when I re-bagged them

with archival bags and backings.

mm

Next up...the two favorites in my collection, STUNTMAN COMICS #1 & #2.

Had them since 1946...read and re-read many times.

mm

The results are in!

-FLASH COMICS #104

Universal 4.0 Off-White to White

-SUPERBOY #1

Universal 5.0 Off-White to White

mm

We are at "Scheduled For Grading"!

mm

Thanks for asking! No...I'm not really interested in

adding to my original collection but I guess if a good

copy of STUNTMAN #3 came along I might be swayed.

mm

I haven't abandoned this thread...it's just that my books are

still in "verify". As soon as they are graded I'll post the outcome.

mm

-30-

mm

I know they don't work on the weekend...so let's see what monday brings.

mm

Thanks...I'll give it a try.

mm

Books have be "VERIFIED"!.

mm

Just as soon as I can find a way to do it!

mm

Seems to be something wrong on the order status page,

keeps coming up "No order history found".

At least yesterday it acknowledged "Received".

mm

It appears my books are stuck in "Received".

mm

CGC has my books listed as "Received"...one step closer.
