Good eye Selegue!

Thanks man!

Anyone have a scan of MASK #2? I wanted to show someone what it looks like and my copy is missing a piece of the lower left corner. I'm shocked that there isn't one posted here!

On a happy note...

This week I've picked up:

- Mask 1

- True to LIfe Romances # 17 & #19!

I was on a Cole "hold" for a while, but now I'm back baby!!!

That TARGET cover is a classic! Congrats! I got mine in a solid FN from an early Vault auction.

It took forever, but I scored the Wit and Wisdom cover about a year ago. It's an odd little book.

I mainly have stayed away from the jungle covers because they seem to be 2x as much as some others. I much rather would have the horror and romance covers! I haven't purchased any in a while, as I've been buying a lot of statues, but I keep my eye open.

I'd love to complete a SPOOK run, and I'm close to getting all the Startling Terror Tales. I just need the #11, and the Hyde cover (#10?)

Nice group. You don't see his Romance covers as nearly as often as his other stuff. I especially like the True to Life 13.

Thanks. I'm a HUGE fan of the romance books because

- They are cheaper

- there are more of them (it seems)

- the stories in them are great!

The TTL 13 is in good shape, except for some writing in the middle. The #14 is in great shape though! I love that one!

It came out good - nice set of books!

Thanks! I used gmail's free photo-hosting deal. And I think those are maybe 1/3 of my Cole Covers. I'll try to get better pics up soon! Plus, I've gotten a few new ones lately.

I just created this, so I hope it works. Here's a bunch of pics I took a while ago of LB Cole covers I own (and the 1 Wings Comic I own, #90). It's not all of them, just a sample. Lemme know if this works ok:

Enjoy (I hope)! Maybe in the future I'll try to take ones that come out brighter.

Hi, Jamie, how ya been?

 

Hey BBB, looks like you have this one already!, but here it is anyhow...Popular Teenagers #15.

The snow effect is so cool...it really looks 3-D. Andy's Catman #31 is another great example of this trick...

Hi! I've been good, and you? I've been chilling on buying new Cole covers, and trying to save a few pennies for SDCC this year! 1st time!

Popular Teenagers #15 is a great one. I got my copy for $12 at WW Philly a few years ago. I LOVE the romance covers...

Those pulps rock!

Glad to hear you're still on the case CKB!

I've now got a home PC, so if/when I get a scanner I'll load up some better pics of my Cole books. I can't seem to get good pics w/ the digital camera.

I really like those HOLIDAY covers guys. One area I still don't have any LB Cole books is the funny animal covers.

And that Blue Bolt 104 cover kicks butt!

I just picked up a VG copy of SPOOK #24 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=002&item=120020148424&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1) for cheap and an FN copy of STARTLING TERROR TALES #13 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=002&item=120020148469&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1) for $100 shipped.

The STT 13 is really nice! I've wanted that one for a while. I'd "like" to complete the STT run, but I need an 11. Gggggrr.........

In my opinion, a Mask #1 with a detached cover at $300 is overpriced. Is the book tough in medium grade? Yes. But I do think it's possible to get a complete, cover-attached Good or Good+ for about $300.

I'm with you 100%. I put that book on my watch list every time it's listed and it never sells. I've inquired about getting it restored and I think it would be a few hundred for that! No way I can cough up $300 for it no matter HOW much I need, er... want it.

whomerjay - That's a fantastic copy! Congrats!

I snagged this one for $30 shipped last week.

 

 

Do you have a larger scan?

I don't have a scanner, but I'll see if I can get a better shot with my digital camera. It's in really nice shape tho! There is a tear on the bottom edge, but you can't see it and the colors are BRIGHT too. Perfect for me.

I've got a few more VG-FN's coming in too....

Maybe Bob Beerbohm can help you with that.

I actually finally heard back from Bob on this and he's going to see what he can do about getting this a listing in the guide! WOOHOO!

Nice grab! That cover has a little bit of everything.

I snagged this one for $30 shipped last week.

Well it's no Obadiah Oldbuck but it is a nice early Cole work.

Is your copy roughly the same size?

Yup! Same size! I haven't had time to look at all of it, but I've flipped through most of it. The pages are that old-school thick style paper that could break easy so I want ot be careful with it. I just love the cover image, and it's so obscure too.

Hey I know you said you just won one of these but I just nabbed one myself.

Just in today, measures 7.25" x 5.5".

 

Looks like a really nice copy too! The cover of mine is nice, but it's almost a little blurry. Can't complain though, I only paid $8.50.

This is a weird little book. It's fully of quotes and has 1 panel cartoons. It's kind of like a Playboy with only the jokes and cartoons. Oh, and there's some freaky ads in there too!

Looks GREAT! I've gotta score that UNSANE book one of these days. Great Comics #1 is on my list too.

Will do! Thanks Paull!!!

Yeah, it should be arriving in about a week (darn media mail...) but I'm wondering if it's more a mag than a comic and maybe THAT'S why it's not in overstreet. I'm campaigning for a listing, dammit!

Will do! I don't even think it's listed in the Overstreet. How's THAT for rare!

I just snagged a copy of this one off of ebay cheap! Can't wait until it gets here! I love the early Cole stuff...

FYI, I found this on this page: Ben Samuels' LB Cole Cover Gallery. There are a bunch of other GA covers on that site, but Ben took the link from the Cole specific page off. This is the only other time, besides the ebay copy I have coming to me, that I've seen this cover. You guys know anything about it?

I just snagged this one off of ebay cheap (see attachment)

I thought about throwing down on that Unsane book as it's one I REALLY want, but that was just too much with that sub crease.

And that rant is crazy. To each his own I guess....
