How many copies of each issue did they usually have?

I can't even imagine buying Timelys "off the rack". I'd be more than happy to elbow the big guys for those Marty!

 

It was Newark in the 40's...you didn't "elbow" Wise Guys.

Marty how were the racks organised? By publisher?

 

There was no organization...they were just lined up in a row with a cord across

the middle to hold them up on the wall...as I remember there were four or five

rows about six feet wide.

As for other newsrooms...I don't think they were ever really grouped by publisher.

Only for the rack at W.T. GRANTS...these were all DELL'S.

I made it!

I never really had my sights on this because I didn't think it possible.

I was saving up for a low grade Sensation #1, and I'm thrilled I couldn't find one.

I give a big to all you Sensation #1 hoarders out there!

I salute and thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Time for a new sig!

I wish there was a gerber photo journal of pulps! There are lots of books that have some covers but I like the completeness of the journals. They really helped me understand Golden Age.

I buy pulps here and there and often wished they would be graded by cgc. They would appear more collectable ug they were in cases like that. I know there are good stories in them, but yhe pulps I have are even more fragile than my GA comics so I usually don't look through them more than once.

CGC's notes on the labels also help me collect and I'd love that for pulps.

"Classic cover". Publication dates, "first nazi cover" stuff like that would be cool.

Paperbacks are neat too, I'd pay a premium for a set of high graded Conan frazettas.

Slabbing would make these way more collectible because we'd know it was first printing and all that stuff. Pulps and paperbacks are kinda wild west imo. I'm sure if collectors made it worth while they could get pretty popular.

Nice 47!! There's something cool about this cover...

I like it too, It's my only Adventure comic.

Got this back a few months ago. My fourth copy in the last 9 years. I like the 12/31 penciled arrival date.

 

If you still have any if the other USA 7s, please post a group shot!

Oh hell yeah!!

Still my favorite Schomburg Cap cover.

Here are two of my recent Timely pick ups.

It's a shame the Marvel Mystery #43's color registry is so off. I guess I'll have to upgrade someday. It's still one of my favorite Schomburg bridge covers though.

Human Torch #11's cover has really grown on me in the past couple years. It used to not even be in my want list!

The black smoke looks really great inbetween the torch and the colors of the background. A very strong composition!

Schomburg was pun intended "ON FIRE!" in 1943. His best work imo.

Awesome #27! I love Cap motorcycle covers!

What are the "classic" wonder woman or Sensation covers?

Pick ups from Seattle Comic con this weekend.

Recent ebay purchase.

The bugger on his face came right off!

There wasn't much WW or Sensations at the Seattle con this weekend.

I did get one from Terry.

Got one at the Seattle con this weekend.

No back cover, but I still love it.

I got 2 new caps from the Seattle con this weekend.

How overpriced are the WW#1 and Sensation #1s on ebay right now?

I wanted to marry these and it won't work.

The sizes don't match so the added centerfold is page sticks way out... maybe one is trimmed? (left one)

The other has half the back cover and a page missing. But the staples are at different heights...

I don''t really want to cut a wrap in half or trim a centerfold...

What would you do?

So is right now a pretty bad time to get into WW ga collecting?

What period is "early"?

Did Zolnerowich do a lot of covers?

I got my Fiction House in the mail this week. It's cool, but I can't say I'm as big a fan as I thought I might be. What do you guys think of the book?

It's amazing that in all these years, no one wrote something in the blank white emblem on his chest.

Great trade!!

Nice!

Can you take/share a physical group shot before they depart each other again?

I love holding 2+, their unique qualities always shine through.

Beat but complete. One of my favorites. (thumbs u

 

It's fun whenever I discover one of my books were previously owned by other board members.

I put the interior with the one on the left, but I'm not sure what the best decision is. Stupid pencil marks...

One of my favorite Axis covers:

 

I'm happy to say the book is still owned by a fellow boardie.

She's a beauty!

A couple group shots.
