  1. Thanks for the history. That is very cool! This one seems to be in pretty decent shape otherwise. Really nice interior. hm

     

    Your Cindy #37 is part of a large Atlas collection that made its way to the West Coast in the mid-1970s. Many of the issues were incredibly well preserved. Because they're technically low grade (and were $1 books back in the 1970s), many collectors did little to protect/preserve them during the past 40 years. Here are some of your book's siblings:

    I hear you are the man to ask so here goes. This book seems to be a 4.5 to me except the 3 hole punch. Would be better but 1/2" spine split at bottom and staple pulls. Will this get a 4.5 qualified or a lower Universal grade, like 1.8-2.0?

    :gossip: ...If she'd listened to her Mother and worn a bra when she went out, she'd probably never have gotten herself in that fix. GOD BLESS....

    I think bras were in short supply due to the war effort...

     

    All I know is it must be cold in the tropics. :angel:

  4. Three good ones showed up today. First copies of Fight 44 and Rangers 27 and an upgrade for my Rangers 31 one of my all-time favorite covers. Sorry not scans- took at home.

    I knew it was a good thing I added that $50 at the end. ;)

  5. He said he was selling off his collection and I asked him if he had any more of the 7 issues of Jumbo. He said he did, I bought them and now a happy owner of the run of 7 horror covers!

    Really developing an appreciation for those late Jumbos. Wish I would have got some of those from JimJum tonight.

  6. I was referencing this book on a thread I started in regard to scarcity and Gerber Index. By my crazy math I figure there might be around 40 copies which would exist in 6.5 grader or higher. Whole thing prompted me to send my copy in to CGC, where it sits today waiting for its slabation.

    Been on the lookout for this book for a while.

     

    I know now that they were reprints from daily newspaper strips...but at

    the time I bought them I had never read them...so they were new to me.
