circumstances

New Fun in 1935 (I don't consider pre-hero DC Platinum) to generally All Star #57 in early 1950.

Silver Age starts some 5 or 6 years later.

What's the book in the middle!

If we only count Blue labels this one only has 10 exactly 

Works for me!

'Original Owner'.   

I don't think there's such a thing at this point. 

These are all Marty's books that he purchased new and kept!

i've only been interested in golden age for a long time.

i consider anything above 6.5 high grade. once you get into the 7.0's and above, that's the sweetness.

even some 6.5's can put me on the fence.

You held on to some very nice ones as well. Boardies like yourself, @G.A.tor @comicjack @Forbush-Man in this Thread , Mr. Berk and others  are the reason ive taken to this publisher. Learned so much in my years on this forum 

As a rule I never sold anything.

For whatever reason I brought in 4 or 5 VGs or less for grading, and ended up selling 3 or 4 shortly after I received them back.

One might have come back a 5.0 and I still have it somewhere.

The ones I sold seem to have popped up in the Centaur thread (or this thread) over the years. The FPS with the guy riding the horse. The KDF with the circle with the guy punching the other guy, and this one.

Only 6 copies on the census

 

Think this was mine as well. When CGC first opened i dropped off several of my lower grade Centaurs to try out the service, and sold some of them shortly thereafter.

The supplements came up for sale a few years ago, and I asked Rick what they were.

He told me, but I can't remember the details.

Shared this one in other Threads, but shockingly not here from @Forbush-Man C'Link smorgasbord 

 

This might have been mine, but I can't remember what grade it was.

My favorite thread on here.

I like all these comic books

Thanks...it seems I have trouble getting things correct on this forum...time to take a break

 

i wouldn't let it concern you!

No it's not new...didn't know this thread was for new books, my mistake.. 

No problem! I'm certain your collection is welcome anywhere you care to post it!

Extremely rare (for me) mail call!

Not really my normal wheelhouse for pickups (much older and/or WWII covers and/or super rare, generally), but I must have a soft spot for White Paged, 7.5, S&K GA going for less than my self imposed (extremely low) max spending limit.

Marty, did you just buy that?

This thread is for new acquisitions!

I give you a lot of credit. It is a beastly, long run comprised of tough issues! Thank you!

there wasn't much interest in them (comparatively) when i started, in 2010, 2011!

The only thing I've actively collected in the past dozen years is these Conan Weird Tales pulps.

I still need 6 or 7 (including this one). GLWTS!

Thanks...I updated the post, there are only 7 on the census...I'm going through my books for the first time in a few years and I am finding quite a few that had less than 10 now have 12 or more. If there were a category with 20 or less, I have a bunch, lol.

Gotta keep it ultra-exclusive!

There's a thread in another forum on here with a higher number.

Only graded copy (although I think @sagii has a raw copy). Kind of surprising for a WWII cover in a long-running title.

It's me.

None on the census was more fun!

These have been pretty much indispensable as a GA collector since their date of realease.

As far as the scarcity index, I'm often amazed how crazy difficult some of his 5s and 6s have proven to be over the years.

I think he way overshot how available some of those books were.
