Picked up this Crippen reading copy to go with my slabbed Chicago copy

Looks like around 10-12 years (late '40s/early '50s to around 1960)

Very cool. Thanks for posting

I have to say that Archie's taste in girls was much better in 1949

Keep it coming!

Could we see full size scans of some of the early Archie issues?

Hey Bill...with all seriousness...congrats! I know Action #1 is "the big book" for the hobyy, but for me, it is Tec 27. This IMO is the grail of all grails. Superman couldn't hold Batman's jockstrap ! but Robin could ouch Sorry, you have that wrong. Robin holds what goes in the jock strap! 3 socks?

Blows away my copy--beautiful book Can we see your Pep 22?

Great book! I will take a 4.5 that looks like that any day! An unobtrusive stain, but the eye appeal of a 9.0. Gorgeous! Exactly! and at 1/3 the money or less. YAHOO!!!!!!!! It is amazing how small an amount of water it takes to equal 4.5 worth of grade. If our water bills were on the same scale water would be more expensive than gold! Right, but the back cover could be foxed to death and still get an 8.0....or the front could have a miswrap, poor colors and production bindery tears and get a 9.4. Out of the three, there is no question which one I would choose. Nice to see someone else probably agrees. Hey, that used to be mine I think I traded it to XL as a part of the pile for his Daring Mystery 1. Glad it ended up with you, Mr. B(thumbs up

Very nice

Congrats on the upgrade

Is that a Curator?

I now have a total of four. I think that 1952 was the first calendar (since I believe the first annual came with a pinup of Archie instead). It's in very nice shape and it was a treat to get the original envelope and assorted other contents.

From one Pep collector to another: Welcome I thought this picture deserved to be posted:
