Not sure if it actually sold, it is in the latest CLink auction. I'm high bidder... for the next five minutes.

Maybe it would help to share the grader notes? cover detached bottom staple light spine stress lines to cover moderate creasing to cover split left bottom of spine split left top of spine I find the "slightly brittle" designation extremely vague, and this needs work somehow at CGC. I've never understood how a book can come back with "tan to off white pages" with some basically brown paper that is oxidized and on another book you get a few pages separating at the spine and the rest of the book can be cream or even better and it gets nailed with "slightly brittle". Sure, if there are flakes in the holder, it is bad. But paper that is creased at the fold of the spine and read many times can start to separate. That doesn't make the whole book brittle. Either that or they need to do a much better job describing what exactly is slightly brittle on the book. Now if they open the book to grade and the pages split more, than it would be warranted. But who can tell? And then what about the cover, it can have a brittle overhanging edge and the interior can be ow/w. The book is fine if you are careful. And if the trend above continues with many GA books getting that sb label, people will just stop grading them. As this book looks really nice, I'd bet it would've had solid offers raw. Good luck with it.

Just got this delivered a few days ago and really digging it.

Also picked this up recently, very happy with the color on it!

Pretty quiet on this thread lately! There was a nice looking 4 with great color this week on HA. I tried for it but couldn't keep up on the price, especially for raw with resto. Anyone have any luck with it? https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/planet-comics-4-fiction-house-1940-condition-apparent-fn-/a/122301-11759.s?ic4=GalleryView-ShortDescription-071515#

Guessing it didn't help that someone wrote "24" on the cover.

Take these, thanks.

A friend of mine won this Flame 2 in the recent Fox auction. On looking at it I immediately noticed the "SN" notation, and thought he might have a Cookeville pedigree. Any thoughts on this? Also has a really cool store stamp on it, almost perfectly placed on the lighter rectangle area. Of course the stamp mentions "Brooklyn" which wouldn't jive with the TN location. And the initials don't look like many of the others I have seen.

Had a good year and got a number of books that I am very pleased with. Great to see what everyone has acquired.

I'll take em.

Price?

Not too many successes in the marriage dept but here is one. If you had told me the odds of marrying anything I have, matching up a Star Ranger 2 would be pretty low down the list, maybe at the bottom. But I found the cover less than a year after deciding to buy an interior. Turned out pretty nice! Now I just need a cover for my AMF v2#1...

Take these via PM! Thanks!

I'll take it.

Nice wins Gino and comicnoir! I sense we were all thinking along the same lines last night, as I too ended up with some Blue Beetle bondage from the same run, along with a later Mystery Men with even more bondage. I think we have a problem! Or at least that is what my wife tells me when she sees them... And thanks for sharing your "beaters" Bob. I'd be happy with any of those!

Interesting notations on that one, and the worst issues I have seen on a Cosmic Aeroplane. I wonder if they harvested some pages for art instruction? Hopefully the back cover ad is intact, as I like it better than the cover!

Happy Turkey Day to my fellow Fiction House fans!

Good to see this thread bumped! Just picked this one up and very happy with it.

Snake monsters, eh? Just picked up this one in the same vein...

Can't go wrong with the Blue Beetle 54 or More Fun 65 but I love this mirror cover.

Definitely some big weird hands throughout the Planet run!
