Long Custom Title
Why is this Blue? Because the ink used in the label absorbed the red and green waves from the visible light spectrum, and the blue waves were picked up by the blue-sensitive cones in our eyeballs.

My Top 10 L.B. Cole Men's Shirts

We need to run a poll: "Best Shirt in an LB Cole Cover". -
These are outstanding covers!

Nice book! My understanding was the Vancouver books were submitted as a whole and then sold as a whole to Geppi. It's always possible that something inexpensive and not quite as high grade was left off, but I have not heard anything like that.

I exaggerate for humorous effect, but the post I was responding to: I would not strip them of the characters, just end the monopoly of a soulless corporation whose current staff had zero involvement in their creation. DC and Marvel have given these characters to dozens of creators, who have created wildly inconsistent versions with barely a thought for continuity. For the record, I, and most folks, care only a little about continuity. (This is easily proven by observing how little continuity errors have done to prevent the continued popularity of Batman and Superman across the decades.) Let all who wish try their hand with these characters. The best will survive, the worst will be forgotten.

Disney has done very little with the character, mostly out of fear of damaging the brand. Mickey was an exciting character in the first cartoons. His newspaper strip adventures were exciting and funny. If you won't use a character, then release him back to the wild to let others take a swing. Bad stuff will be created. Good stuff will be created. Ignore what you dislike and give attention to what you like. I'm completely unbothered by the lack of continuity with respect to a great character like Sherlock Holmes. I'm immune to impact due to stupid adaptions, and I don't see any particular societal breakdown arising from them.

How come it doesn't appear in any of the pictures of the open box?

Copyrights and patents were mentioned in the US Constitution because it was thought that some protection for them would encourage investment of time and resources required to invent things. It was expected the protections would be of limited duration because nothing is completely new. Those who invent were standing on shoulders of giants who preceded them, and to restrict re-use of new inventions was to over-reward inventors and delay further advancements.

Amazing threads. I'll see myself out. -
It took me a few minutes to answer because: The sale was back in 1991 The auction catalog lots were ordered according to some secret sequence only understood by Jerry Wiest The tears I had to keep wiping away as I saw the amazing books and art that went for a pittance of what they would go for today I would think that the Frankenstein was pictured because it was graded nm and indicative of the high quality of that particular lot. It only graded a 7.0 and the WTOF 8, part of this same lot, only graded 8.5. The horror books were grouped into lots so it's certainly possible that some of these were lower graded items within the lot. It's also possible that some damage occurred over the years as 50s books are definitely more susceptible to damage than their "big" GA brothers from the early 40s.
