Thanks to PLady for the nice Comic Cavalcade #19 and the great price/service!

And for Wolvie on a budget, don't forget to pick up a set of PLOP for the covers. Fairly high grade copies are still cheap.

That Krazy daily looks great!

I bought a 1939 Donald Duck Board Game at an estate sale a couple weekends back with this artwork (main image cleaned up in Photoshop). Who can identify the artist? Thanks in advance...

Yeah, he must have had a thing for nude toddler art. Ironic?

Oh great! Looks like YOU scared him off! I will give helpful advice whenever I feel like it, thank you very much.

I think that the comics are placed at the exact top edge of the scanner bed since there is excess space around all 3 of the other edges. Maybe if you just scoot the comics down an 1/8" or so it will catch the top edge. Phenomenal collection BTW, BZ!

While grading a Tarzan run for the Virtual Comicon®, I found a Double with further production errors... I'm going to slap it in my oddball thread in the market shortly if anyone wants it.

Thanks for the insta-pay! Glad you like it! I think it's late 1950's though according to the copyright.

This isn't a golden age promotional, but it isn't in Overstreet, so thought I'd share it here. Just picked it up tonight at a local auction. Looks like it would have been in nice shape if not for massive water damage/wrinkling.

Picked up 2 nice J.C. Penney promos over the weekend at an auction. This one from 1947 has Simon & Kirby art: Ripley's Believe It or Not is from 1948: Both have white pages & I paid $4.00 each. Also got Aquaman #1 for $6.00, Amazing Fantasy #14 & Amazing Spider-Man #5 for $5.00 each, but they were all low grade.

The Nye book says 1894 with no reprinting info. Thanks for the tip on Samantha- I'll keep an eye out!

Outcault! Opper! Great stuff! I'd love to get a copy of Pore Lil' Mose, it always seems to go pretty high (even in poor condition), and some people buy the book just to seperate the pages and individually frame them! Great for decorators, but just try to sell an individual page to a collector afterwards... not worth it. For Opper fans, Bill Nye's History of the United States book (329+ pages) is a treasure trove with an approximate average of an illustration every other page or so... here's a sampling: I'm wondering if he was a direct influence on R. Crumb. Notice the Alfred E. Neuman looking chap?

Just got this sharp copy this morning at an auction:

Hmmm, there must be several overstock copies still around. Maybe at $40.00 cover, it wasn't flying off the shelf back in 1979, especially if they saw the bad quality reproduction of some of the pages. My copy came from a silver/bronze age collection that was stored in bags in a basement in a filing cabinet. Most of the comics have white or pure white ultra bright pages and the collection has been dormant for decades so that's why my copy looks like new. Plus the collector was condition conscious. I guess not much of anything from 1979 is rare, but I did wonder if the book had a low print run. Sorry to derail this thread for awhile... let's see some more ducks! Hopefully not in PGX slabs!

Thanks for the info! I haven't seen any on ebay since I started looking. Thought it may have been scarce but apparently not. I can't imagine asking several hundred dollars for a copy.

Do you happen to know approx how many were printed and where it was distributed to? I assume it was just printed in Italy and distributed to the USA. Until I found a little info on the site link I had nothing to go on to add to my listing for information. I'd still like to add more info if available. Thanks!

Anyone ever seen this book? Not ducks, but still Barks! I did some searching before listing but couldn't find anything on it. I did a google search and got lucky. Someone has the information I was looking for on this site and the guy who posted the topic has been looking for a copy for about a year: http://forums.goldenagecartoons.com/showthread.php?p=51544

Here's a few more romance...

Got the complete Cheerios Y set in original envelope at the Lincoln, NE auction last Sunday (nice price). Here's Y-1 DD A-Bomb: It has a 7/8" edge tear back cover & OW/W pages. F- maybe better? I also unknowingly picked up WDC&S # 98 1st Scrooge in a nice looking VG/F, white pages (1st Uncle Scrooge in title) in a box lot.
