(thumbs u I also have issue 2, will post it this weekend

That likely has two Avon books reprinted. A Strange Worlds maybe? It has 3 stories from Strange Worlds 2, I don't recognize the other stories. Eerie #1 I think. Yes, I don't own that book, but checked on GCD.

I don't sell much at auction houses, but I have a friend who does and I just give him my books and he takes care of everything and sends them in with his stuff.

I collect raw books, but I like buying slabbed books when I buy them on the Internet. I think that roughly 5% of my collection are slabbed. It is however best to have a book slabbed if you want to sell it via one of the auction houses (imo). Yes I know of the French editions, I have a buddy who used to collect all French Superman editions, but he sold his collection some years ago.

You lucky guys – I should have imagined (in some way) that with the kind of culture you always had associated with the b.d. in France, there might have been a nurtured collecting base for original non-french comics as well. Unfortunately it’s not just a matter of SA: the collecting base in Italy is almost non-existent for all ages: people are mostly just not prone to appreciate things in their original language and form. That is why I find wonderful that you can dig out GA and SA comic books from France. OA is another matter: I have an acquaintance which has several Sienkiewicz pages (even some painted ones from "Love and War") and there are many OA collectors here as well. As for the Cap: there is to say that rare and super-rare does not necessarily coincide with "sought after": value is often "impossible" to determine, or better it should be determined at one’s best upon request as well. For example, this is one of a few Superman "apocryphal" italian comics, which came out as a follow up of the very first story published here (very likely unauthorized) in 1939. They are super-rare and I would not know how to price it – I just picked it as the occasion arised, but they are pretty much "priceless". Nice cover! I guess I'll keep the Cap anyways. If I want to get rid of it someday I should have it slabbed and put up to auction.

I don't collect foreign editions, but stumbled upon some recently. I thought it would be funny to post this one, it's square-bound.

British Eerie 1, square-bound

Here's a British Real Clue Crime Stories nn. GCD has three issues listed, this is not one of them. I did not find any information on this issue when I googled it.

Great cover on this one!

I completely understand that, pricing foreign books can be tricky. If I find any info that can help in that regard I'll let you know. I would appreciate that!! (thumbs u I also have some pretty scarce Australian Batman's, I will try to post them tomorrow.

The book looks a lot like the Australian Batman books from the 50's, it is slightly over sized as those and the cover price matches that of the 1955 issues. At least one story is an Atlas Cap reprint.

The Cap is awesome. I still can’t figure how you can find and purchase such books in France: is there a consistent pool of collectors which collect Golden Age? It would be pretty awesome, as in Italy there are very little people collecting comic books in the original USA editions. Thanks Claudio. I guess I got lucky (again). I will start a sales thread for most of the US books after Comic-Con. I know quite a few guys who collect GA in Paris, but most collectors concentrate on SA to current here. There are a lot of people who collect OA over here. I have met some Italians who collect US books though, but they all say that US books are not easy to find in Italy.

There's not really any information here either. Let me know if you decide to let this one go. Depending on the price I might be interested. (thumbs u I'd like to thank you for the link, it might help me identifying some of the foreign books I just acquired. I don't know about letting the book go, I have received multiple requests to sell it, but since I am not able to put a value on it, I prefer keeping it for the moment.

Love the cover (thumbs u

Not as nice as yours (thumbs u I like the covers and art a lot and thought it would be nice to assemble some mid-grade runs
