Working on my next comic closet.

My youngest daughter has moved out  and I am taking over her closet for comics.

First process is to move all of my Four colors  from varioous other locations so they can all be together.

WOrking on  updating my spreadsheet,  rebagging  scanning and filing  the  books that have come in in the last few years.

in the meantime  here is another group  of my older additions

I just got a shipment  in from Heritage  with my assortment of wins since about the beginning of the year.  Most of them  are the 4GEMs  that I was able to snag.  Have not seen any offerings  from him in a few weeks.  Wonder if he is done selling off all of them,  or if they are taking a break.

Most excited  to  see, and check off the last key book in the run.  Series 1  Issue  1  Tracy.  This is an issue  that I almost never see anywhere and they had 2  copies  opening at the same time  An Unrestored 2.5  and an Extensive restored  5.0 which closed much earlier.  I put in a semi strong bid for the 5.0  fully expecting to be out bid, To my surprise no one bid live  and I won that copy.

The Unrestored  later closed for only 100 more.  Not sure which was a better value.

    I closed out the 700's yesterday with 761 - Howdy Doody (a book whose cover weirded out my 9-year old  )

That's now 48 to go on the second series with closed out: 300's, 400's, 600's, 700's, 900's and 1,000's. Am one away to closing the 500's (571), 800's (827) and 1,100's (1173). Longest continuous run is 345 issues strong.

Thanks to everyone for keeping the thread alive.

345 in a row is quite impressive,  but even more so is that you are only 3 issues away from over 900  in a row

time to revive this thread  with another pic

Gonna have another dozen books on the way.  bout a 50-50 spliy brterrn missing books  and significant upgrades

Did you ever notice how many issues in the  series Have a variation of Little in the name?

The Little People

The Little King

Lil Bad Wolf

Little Lulu

Little Orphan Annie

3 Little Pigs

Little Scouts

Little Beaver

Little Rascals

Littlest Snowman

That is ten to start.  I am sure there are several more

I actually won a couple of 4GEMS  Little People  books as upgrades in tonight's live bidding wars,  but not one  that I was actually missing.

This completes the 900s for me so now I have the 700s and 900s taken care of.

Congrats on completing your second 100.  I still don't have my first.

I was leading on 7 of 4GENS books and almost snagged a bargain tonight.  only one person wanted  it more than me

Oh well always next weeks to watch

time for a new crop

Got shut out in 4GEMS  auctions  again this week.  At least i was the backup bidder on two of them

Long Live the Legion

I gave up new comics at the start of the pandemic.  I think the then current incarnation had also completed its run,  Did it ever restart again?

Very nice to be so close to completing  so many of the hundreds 

form close to's  I am missing 110, 673 , 1065 and 1335,  I need 3 in the 800s  but everywhere else I need between 6 and 9 issues.

Another one of the creepiest covers is contained in this grouping

I have got a couple of Graded Mile High ll's  that i bought directly from them many years ago.

They ALWAYS exclude graded books from their special sales.  For some reason they must have really heeded money  and included them  this one time.

I finally decided that the prices were reasonable and bought about a dozen for about $25 each.  I think this was perhaps back in 2003.  I don't recall slabs ever being a part of their sales since

I must have gotten this Dallas Stephens  in that same order

Lets see what I can dig up from my Four Color collection

Here is my Homage to Mr Considine  RIP

Wonder if there were comic versions of My Three Sons?

What could be better than Spin & Marty #1 (FC714)? 

 

RIP  Tim  

ANother batch from the mid 500 range

Looks like Lucy was one of the first TV sitcoms to get a tryout  and one of the first Photo covers

since I posted the above  I watched the Movie Being the RIcardos  and I enjoyed it very much.  I am a bit to young to remember it from first runs  but I have seen many to the shows going back to early reruns

Nobody even commented on the Death of lightning lad issue.  The legion seemed much more real than other series  because they actually had characters die and for the most part REMAIN dead

this thread sure does not get much love.  most of these could cross post to the LSH  thread

time for the next 10 

For some reason this weeks offerings from 4GEM  dont give me mush to aim for.  Not a single book that I dont have  and only a couple that are even on my upgrade lists
