Thanks all... Destroyer was a great character, too bad they didn't give him his own title...

Thanks.. these pre-codes are scarce in higher grade, in general paper in the 50's was of a lower quality. Quite a few of the Northford's show tanning on the inside covers and hence I think thats why the grade of 8.5 on the Chilling Tales ...otherwise structurally the book is a 9.4.

 

very true. My book show the same interior tanning.

 

Thats a great looking book for the grade... even with the tanning it looks like that should re-grade better...at least in order to get the notes removed....Colors on the Northfords are striking....

Heres my copy, its the Northford, I've had it for a while... It's the highest graded followed by two 7.5's...

some recent upgrades...

A couple of new ones

 

The 8.0 looks wavy at the top ?

I'm not seeing a wave there, but I do remember seeing that that kind of wave on some books caused by non pro pressing.

A couple of new ones

 

Love both of 'em, especially that old label All Winners.

 

If that is now an "old label" book what is the former "old label" now called?

" A vintage label" ?

Thanks for the comments.... I'm not ready to crack em out... I fought with the idea of graded books in holders when they first appeared... now I'm finally used to them...

CGC changed the perception of importance.... now the cover art of a book determines value and appeal...

and I really like the new CGC holders... I have not seen a problem yet...I like that the books are protected..

I own a Cap #1 in 9.4 .. if I was offered a Marvel #1 9.4 in trade, I would make the trade, as a Marvel 1 in 9.4 would be quite rare,,,,,,

I would not trade my Cap #1 9.4 for the highest graded Marvel #1( pay copy) which is in 9.0. At one time a Marvel #1 overshadowed the Action #1.....i'm old enough to remember that so for me Marvel #1 still has that mystique ... But as far as significance as it relates to the present times, along with the art and its creators... Cap 1 for the most part comes in third to Action 1 and Detective #27 at least by todays standards IMO..

just picked these up... The Strange Fantasy #9 is rare with the Ditko art as it is more common to find its misprint with a Black Cat interior...

Where can you get a nice not too large comic book display rack?

Vintage or modern?

 

Vintage pop up for sale from time to time on eBay and hakes

 

Modern spinners just take googling, but I suspect that's not what you want

thanks
