Ok I screwed up. too small I'm sorry I will try to find a bigger pic in computer

I Paid $1200 for this but a tough copy and off white to white pages. I am having big issues syncing my i phone for pics to computer. Now Ill have to drive 35 miles to Akron to fix it at apple. I will share what I still have. I do not know but does anybody want to see Archies I sold in the last 2 years. B&V CGC, both 8.0. Am I allowed to post them ?I dont own now. They are in my computer.

Here is Pep #25.

Did I sell you this one years ago. How high is it in top grades. It was so different years ago, you just bought whatever you could find and afford. a lot more to find then

I've had this since the mid to late 80's. I'm not sure exactly when I bought this. I had it graded in 2003. For a long time it was the second highest graded copy but no longer as a few others have surfaced.

I guess it has been almost 40 years ago you bought them from me.That sounds about right to me.Still off white pages the holy grail of Archie's.

I'm glad you're here. This is my friend and the seller I mentioned who sold me all the early Peps and Archie 1 that I've posted. Without him, my collection wouldn't be near what it is today. Thank you Thurston, you've been great to me.

Yes, here is a good friend good friend for years who mowed lawns and did  everything to get these comics. this was they called me Archie bought pep 22 and Archie one for about $1200. I know where all pep 22,s CGC 4.5 are s I bidded $65,000 on one 3 or 4 years ago and lost to a guy who was buying Archies from me. that copy was slightly brittle. My old copy is 4.5 I think off white.I cant afford the comic now. I do have an Archie 3 CGC 8.0 and a couple of top graded early Archies.

Thanks - here's one I don't think I've posted before.

Can I get approval by a moderator. I was here years earlier Have collected Archies and other comics for 49 years and many people know me including they call me Archie. I gave mike Ulsan and Jeff Mendell my copy of Pep 22, and Archie 1 (I owned at the time) to them for the Best of archie 1980. Anybody will see my name in the book as Im the only Thurston Bowden in the world here. I have no clue how to navigate in here and make up a name maybe, but I go by Thurstee98  and I am known by hundreds of comic fans including Dennis the Menace registry collection. Im getting up there in age and retired and comics have Been my life. I own Archie 3 CGC 8.0 ( Best on Earth) Pep 44 CGC 8.0 ( best on Earth Pals and gals 1 CGC 9.2 also the best AND MORE. I know many archie facts that people know Including why Archie annual 1 is rare. I told my case to mr overstreet and he agreed.If you have an Archie 56 Look at the bottom of the frnt cover for a hint. I went to Archie publications years ago and got theories.
