Not in the best shape, but I plan on getting conservation/restoration done down the road:

 

It still has the front cover. Nice! (thumbs u

From the stratosphere of the tb MMM collection, we return to the troposphere that is the AJD WDC&S 1 - 100 collection.

 

I've had an excellent run recently, and have added eight new copies to my collection, including four under #50. Well, nominally - six of them are somewhere in transit.

 

Here's the first two to arrive, which take me past the 50/100 mark on hand. I'm going to try to do a 50 issue group shot next weekend. (And, no, I haven't amped up the colour on my scanner - I try to pick issues with strong eye appeal even if they are mid grade. The #90 looks better in hand - the scuffing on the spine isn't that obvious.)

 

 

Nice! I'm looking forward to the group shot! (thumbs u

I'm partial to this one!

 

I drooled on this one many times while it was on the metro site. Beautiful!

Here's my All Winners #7. Rare Book?

 

GREAT book!!! Hard to obtain a copy of this one (I still need one), unless you want to pay at least double guide regardless of grade (just shootin' from the hip, I've not done actual research on this). This issue is where the covers start getting really good!!! Well done sir (thumbs u

 

Thanks! I lucked into this one. I saw that it could be undergraded and bid agressively, considering the stated grade. When I got it back from CGC

 

Your 4 leaf clover paid off It's a fantastic Schomburg

 

agreed; aw 7 a great book. this 'un is my fave all winners cover.

 

 

NIce! (thumbs u

My lil' reader copy of Cap 35. Nothin' fancy, just a raw reader

 

 

Great readers Frisco! (thumbs u

 

Thanks!! If I could afford it, I'd have a reader copy for every nice grade slabbed copy I have!!! I know, some people think that that's

If I can just get a copy of each I'll be

It seems like everytime I get a good run going some type of financial reality interferes and I sell on eBay.

My Cap 31. A very nice mid grade copy with excellent pq.

 

 

Wow! That's a really nice book with fantastic art! That Shomburg was a real genius and your book proves it!

 

Thanks very much Steven!!! This is one of my favorites!!! The eight larger sized Caps Schomburg did are all classics to me!!!

Schomburg and Barks are my favorite GA artists for basically the same reason: attention to detail! IMO, there are very few artists of the period that could stack so much into so little space. Lots of bang for the buck!

Why is All Winners #7 in high demand? Looking at the census it does not appear rare, relative to other Timelys, and yet it goes for multiples of guide.

 

Thoughts?

all of the all winners from 6-12 are in demand due to their wonderful covers and stories...pretty much all 7 issues go for multiples of guide...nothing any more special about 7 than , say, 12...just more demand than supply (thumbs u

Got it. Thanks!

I'm sure this has been answered roughly one million times but what is considered the first American comic appearance of Donald Duck? Is it Four Color 4?

Here is some good reading reguarding this.

Thanks! It was a good read! (thumbs u

 

 

What a collection! Beautiful run of Subbies!

 

+1! Simply stunning. The number 1 looks really nice.

 

sr, but it is pretty. thanks, guys.

Nothing wrong with sr especialy with the more expensive books.

Just got another Schomburg robot cover for my collection. Human Torch #23.

 

One of the best cover in the run!

 

Indeed. A robot dresses up most any cover

This cover and the HT with the large flat screen television are two of my favorites.

Nice! (thumbs u

Buying a quality scanner tomorrow...

Love those Schomburg's, man.

All Select rates up there as one of my favrite timelys! Great book!

Normally I crack all my books, but it's been a while since I've gotten a Timely in so I think I'm just going to sit back and enjoy this one.

 

Fantastic!

Gotta love these ultra viotent Timely war covers!

the cgc may as well shut these boards down if this thread can go almost 3 weeks without a post. i weep for the future.

 

Don't weep, just upgrade some of your Timelys and post them here

I have at least two more timely's I have not posted yet. I'll see if I can get them scanned in.

I think the Dell Scrooges are still my favourite comics of all time.

Scrooge is my favorite Disney icon without doubt. I lost my inventory list of my Uncle Scrooges and so I haven't been buying in the last couple of years. I need to get off my duff, pull the boxes out, and reinventory.

I get to play in my Disney boxes!

A pickup from December, needs reslabbed (marked as #10)

 

 

Very nice!

Visited Heritage yesterday...

 

 

I'm seriously thinking about buying a new scanner though.

 

There are times when my Epson "Perfection"[sic] doesn't do justice.

Wow! I so wanted something out of that auction but taxes are kicking my behind this year. Can't wait until June though!

I’ve been a voyeur here for a few years (I was never a collector of Golden Age titles but I do love to look). I finally made my one and only golden age acquisition a few years ago to use up some store credit. I overpaid for this at the time (& probably couldn’t even sell it now for what I paid then) but I wanted to say I once owned the highest graded copy of USA #1 (although mine is restored and at the time there were 3 known unrestored 9.0s). Since then a 9.2 has appeared, dammit, but I still like pulling this out to look at from time to time.

Awesome book and welcome!
