    Thanks! mm

    Thanks for your interest...my collection is a real cross section of comic books from my ALL-WINNERS #4 in 1942 to WEIRD-SCIENCE-FANTASY #26 in 1954 with other one- shots like The ATOMIC THUNDERBOLT #1 from 1946 to KO KOMICS #1 in 1945 and all in still pretty good shape. mm

    Thanks! Next off to be graded are BATMAN #47...SUPERMAN #53...and MARVEL FAMILY #1. Then FLASH #104 and SUPERBOY #1. It's been suggested that I start a thread about my collection...not sure there would be that much interest...but it's a thought. mm

    The ALL-STAR #38 came back a 6.0...the FLASH #98 a 5.5 and CAPTAIN AMERICA #60 came back a 7.0. Not bad for nearly 70 year old books that were in and out of boxes while moving to 4 different states, then put away for almost 30 years. mm

    If I had these pages trimmed...would this be considered restoration? mm

    I think it should go with a Blue Label...this is the way the book was printed! mm

    Unopened/Uncut Pages...when the pages have not been separated at the unbound edges. Is this a production error...a flaw...how would it be graded? mm

    Just checked my TERRY-TOONS #38...just one staple...less chance for tears. mm
  9. Marty Mann
    Thanks...I'll have to check it out...never noticed. mm

    Does a book have to have two staples to get a Blue Label? I am about to send off my HUMAN TORCH #19 for grading and find that it has only ONE STAPLE dead center in the spine. There are no other holes on the spine so I assume it was printed this way. mm

    I read them...and read them...and then put them away for 40 years. Not one cover fell off. mm

    Started in '42 with ALL-WINNERS #4 through '54 with WEIRD SCIENCE-FANTASY #26. mm

    Thanks for asking! Now that I'm getting them graded, little by little, I'm afraid they'll stay in the family for awhile. Just sent off my ALL-STAR #38 ('48), CAPTAIN AMERICA #60 ('47) and FLASH COMICS #98 ('48)...I'll let you know how they grade. mm

    That's why I take my grandchildren with me to the Comic Stores...don't want to look too out of place. mm

    Do you know if the covers shown on the newstand on BATMAN #199 are copies of real issues? mm
  16. Marty Mann
    Great cover...THANKS! mm

    In my copy of STRANGE ADVENTURES #208 from January '68 there is an ad for the February '69 issue of BATMAN COMICS #199 with a cover featuring Batman trying to buy a copy of his own comic book. This is one I've never seen! mm

    77...began collecting in 1942. Still have most of them. mm
  19. Marty Mann
    Would you consider a Four Color FLASH GORDON #190 "The Adventures of the Flying Saucers" Golden Age Sci-Fi ? mm
  20. Marty Mann
    Is that it?...the thread ends? mm
  21. Marty Mann
    THANK YOU...THANK YOU! mm
  22. Marty Mann
    That means I probably have the oldest private collection, comics I bought off the newstand between '42 and '54...wow! mm
  23. Marty Mann
    I said..."Don't tell me that!". mm
  24. Marty Mann
    Please...don't tell me at 77 I'm the oldest guy here! mm

    It was in the mid to late '60's that I first realized my cardboard boxes of comics in the garage were worth more than the dime I paid for them...their value to me were the hours of escapism reading pleasure they provided me. mm
