    Every one a classic! You were a little tough on "Volcano Valley," but spot-on for "Sheriff of Bullet Valley!" I was actually going to post my ratty FC 199, but yours in MUCH purdier. And lest we forget: For me, AAA or A+. I don't see how it could be any better.
  4. PopKulture
    Agree!! One of THE best!!

    I'm surprised to read this. I'd be more inclined to believe that sort of motivation exists for Bronze or Silver Age enthusiasts, so too chasers of Moderns and variants. Are you saying it's fairly prevalent with Golden Age collectors as well? I've never even looked at top registry sets for GA...
  6. PopKulture
    That's an A+ for me, or an AAA per the OP's criteria! IMHO, it belongs to a small handful of GA books that get the highest possible mark (think More Fun 54 and Superman 14).

    A- And top of this small class of books - simple, effective, well-rendered and colored. It could be a poster!

    B is for Betty (and Veronica!)

    D I may be fond of these "educational" Four Colors, but I'm trying to be somewhat objective.

    C for Bats - absurd, which is simultaneously half the charm, I know.

    Not sure about the grading criteria, so I'll just go with a more traditional letter grading scale: B+ for Donald

    Super sweet books! It looks like you’re almost complete on the Matt/Kid Slade! Congrats!

    I was sorting through some boxes of “thick books” recently, which generically belong to the family of dime novels. This cheap form of fiction was the precursor to the pulp boom. Here are some Nicholas Carter novels:

    Wow, these are some really cool books!!
  15. PopKulture
    Just enough scuffing to keep it in the 5.0 to 5.5 range, which is better than my beater place-holder!
  16. PopKulture
    3.0 for some Kirby goodness!
  17. PopKulture
    The edge-tears have me thinking a very clean presenting 4.5.
  18. PopKulture
    I find myself agreeing with @Funnybooks often, even though I make my determination before I look at other's posts. I think it might make 7.5 as it lies. You have to love the blinding white!
  19. PopKulture
    I do believe it probably took a circuitous route there, but yes
  20. PopKulture
    Strong 8.0 for a great bronze age book!
  21. PopKulture
    I'm also at a solid 9.0 on this cool Goblin cover!
  22. PopKulture
    A killer book that I'd give an 8.0 by CGC standards (as they historically haven't hammered tanning/dust shadows on the cover like in the old days). There are a lot of dopey covers from this era: this is not one of them!!
  23. PopKulture
    8.5 to 9.0. A friend of mine owned the original art to this cover many moons ago and still kicks himself once in a while.
  24. PopKulture
    I'd say 8.5, but I could see it scoring the 9.0 others venture.

    Here are a few more with the typical puritanical “work and win” sentiments of the day - adventure, with a heavy dose of pluck and grit, ideals not altogether celebrated in modern discourse:
