On the flip side. Here's an X-Men 132 that was given a 7.5 grade. For the life of me this looks better than

some 9.2/9.4 books I have:

More Latin styley Charlton :

For Lovers Only and Love Diary both ran a super long time.
I like the bronze age stuff. Some really groovy South American? artists doing some great art
on these. Sort of like a neo-deco style.

Not my comic but beautiful:

Found this and this great article about same here:

Just Married #101 $5

Ok, so this is a bronze book. However, it does fit with 1950s GGA. Cover barely attached at the top staple.

Thats a nice pair of "Capellos"

I can dig it. I just pulled out a couple of issues of secret hearts. All those covers are by Jay Scott Pike. And I got one that's a Gene colan.

That gogo dancer cover is so sweet. You might have just made a convert out of me too. Was looking for some other Silver age project to get into anyway. Probably start by getting some Teen Titans. As I don't actually own any of the Silver age ones.

JL

@boomtown: a followup to this. Now you have me looking for the nice Cardy romance covers. Lots more Gene Colan and Jay Scott Pike out there tho.
As I feared this thread has now got me down a new road. Starting my OG Teen Titans collection. Not a romance cover, but a great Nick Cardy piece:

Showcase 59 :


I think they just ran 100% magenta on that background. That hot pink is insane.

You may comment here.

I don't understand why the for sale sections are not more fine-grained. 
Which is to say. I don't understand why Gold Silver and Bronze are all under the same heading in FS.
For the seller it could make it easier. But as a buyer it distracts from my focus.
Methinks the Golden age should be its own section. I could see Bronze and Silver being one section combined,
But I still feel like it's a lot to cover under 1 heading. Why not:
Golden age = 1939 - 1955 
Silver Age = 1955 - 1970
Bronze age = 1970 - 1985

thats basically 15 years per age.

I'd split out pre-2000 books:
Copper/Modern age : 1985-2000
Postmodern/21st century 2000-current.

any thoughts appreciated.

You should post in the sales discussion area here

 

Moderators please let me know if this needs to be moved.
The general discussion thread is even more a mish-mash than the gold/silver/bronze for sale thread. 
Seems hard to have a separate topic in that mega-topic. 

I guess I'm in the minority on this one.

Been that way forever 

Just because it's old don't mean it's good.

Apologies if this is covered elsewhere and/or if this is the wrong place to ask.
I'm still a bit of a board newbie.

Why are all three of these eras (gold, silver, bronze) under 1 heading in the for sale section?
I could understand if it was Silver and Bronze only.
But 1939 - 1985 is a long time.

I do enjoy seeing all the golden age books that I might not normally come across if it was just
silver and/or bronze. But it does seem weird to lump these 3 eras together. 

thoughts ?

Just a quick note. I bought several books from this collection and they are so beautiful.
Perfect books. beautiful colors. Like someone went back in time and took them directly from the printers to CGC.

I bought several really nice books that Francisco was selling on behalf of @ffasm58.
Francisco was patient with me as I was new at the boards.

I really appreciated the great books. And I really appreciate the good work he is doing
helping Brian by selling these books. And oh my god are these books beautiful.

thanks Francisco.

Very happy. Great seller and great shipping.

Thanks for helping me find my keys !!!

Great Seller,

Quick shipping from "The great white north".
Purchased a BEAUTIFUL copy of New Gods 1 from Tim at an Excellent price.

I've bought a number of fine books at great prices from this forum.
So much bronze-age goodness.

Please leave me feedback on any purchases or (future) sales.
