Just picked up a bunch of cool Harvey books.

No kidding!

That's an awesome cover, Axmen!

Um, I thought corpses were supposed to lay with their hands draped across their sternum. Seems like the artist rendered her hands a bit higher up.

I have the highest graded copy ( 8.5 ) but this one may come in higher. We'll see...

Judging from the pic it looks like it might beat an 8.5

Good luck!

Forgot I bought this one from a fellow boardie. It showed up today with two others and I had to laugh due to being so excited about the other haul that I forgot about these...

 

 

Nice one. You're setting a high bar for niceness in the PCH department -- very high indeed!

 

Thank you sir...have you seen any of my other books? Check the sig below. Highest graded PCH and crime are my main collecting focus. I had a chance to pick up a mid grade Captain America 1 the other day and I passed due to all the amazing pre-codes...I'm starting to think that was a bad idea though...

 

Oh, I know! Yep, been admiring your books and taste for awhile. That is a tough choice though -- one $ for a mid grade Cap 1 would pay for a lot of highgrade PCH, and vice versa. Gotta go with your passion I think, though in this instance it's easy for me to say, as I have and can get the occasional low, mid or highgrade PCH book, whereas Cap 1 isn't in the picture for me.

Gabe, you scored big-time,... no need to look back!

If this was my bring-home, I would be waking up in the middle of the night and perusing through all this magnificent haul.

Is that a TMIH #3 I see?

 

I think issues #7, 11 and 12 are the only ones visible in that pic.

 

.... which one is your favorite out of these..... the one that makes you go,"I can't believe I have this book...... " ? GOD BLESS...

The Crime Does Not Pay 24 9.2

 

I'm still shocked.

That cover is brutal.

The radar for my want list of books has gone totally into v-fib.

Congratulations, Gabe!

WOW!

Can't wait to see the rest!

That's a beauty!

 

Very cool!

Sweet!

 

Ditto that!

Very pretty book indeed.

Congratulations!

what do you think is going on in this picture?

All I'm seeing is Raggedy sliding down the pumpkin like a slide - the puppy may be thinking the pumpkin head is real and is fixing to paw at it - and Andy is reassuring the puppy that the pumpkin head is friendly.

Grader's notes? I have to pay for those, correct?

I don't keep up with all that because I don't sub books. I think now the submitter has access to the notes free of charge. Somebody here will know.

I was thinking they might have graded it lower because it isn't a pedigree.

That would be an abomination!

The fact that it isn't from a pedigree collection or a file copy makes it even cooler to me, because it means that someone took very good care of it for 62 years. I find that simply amazing.

Very nice ToT #16, congrats!

Just wondering what the graders notes show because that front cover looks like an EASY 9.2 to me.

Bending the rules or not, they're awesome!

Acquired this one from my LCS today. A very pretty (sub-midgrade) upgrade from my other one.

Yeah, nothing better than "binge reading" a stack of EC's. I have an un-bagged low grade set (a little over half the run) that I've been accumulating for a white. They sit all mixed up on a shelf and when I get the urge, I grab a handfull.

Is there a couch for me?

 

Any time you're in the hood bro!

That makes me very happy.

Rick, those are all very beautiful presentable books.

I love em'!

It has been a while since my last purchase. Here's my first book of the year:

 

 

Great book! One you will never be sorry about.

What a gorgeous book!

when I get the urge, I grab a handfull.

:wink:

You're a pre-code collector in a hurry!

 

 

 

 

Cool books!

 

Thank you, adamstrange. But compared to a lot of you guys, I have much catching up to do.

I think you're going at a rate that has already surpassed the # of books I own! But as a whole, they look pretty solid. Enjoy them, and do keep an eye out for any amateur restoration -- in such a large quantity of books that can sometimes slip by.

 

Most definitely. Thanks!

Thanks guys!

The following books were not a part of the layaway I've been posting. Just brought these home from my LCS today.
