Four Color (1st Series) #13.

I won this in an auction last week. I've got another 1st Series issue on order as well and will have 14 issues left from that series when it arrives.

That has got to be a hard book to find in decent shape. That looks like a nice copy. Congratulations!

Thanks.  It's a nice vg copy with everything securely attached.  It definitely doesn't seem to show up very often so I was happy to get it.

Paramount Animated Comics #6 just arrived in the mail today to finish off that series for me.

Four Color #4 arrived in the mail today. This brings my want list down to 31 issues for Series II. I have another one coming in the mail.

Four Color #80 arrived today.

Four Color #206 arrived today.

Four Color #145 arrived today.

Four Color #96 arrived today.  I should have another issue arriving in a couple of days and another one in a couple of weeks.

Four Color #32 arrived today.

Four Color #302 arrived today so now the highest number remaining on my want list is #247 Flash Gordon.

I need 25 issues from 1-99, 9 issues from 100-199, and then 5 issues from 200-247.

Nice OLD  book.  I had my first copy sitting out in my office for quite a while.   Now I have my slabbed copy of Pirate Gold  on display.

I am sending off my undercopy of #17  to MCS  in my next lot. .  Even though it is a bit lower than yours, it should reach the consigment value

I am also including  in the MCS box   are some Promotional Harvey comics  such as American Airlines  and Weather Bird SHoes.  Won a bunch of stuff like that  off ebay  from our owm Blissard.  They were advertised as files copies, and they are beautiful.  Wonder how the MCS graders will view them?

I still have the Harvey Astro-Comics issues that I had as a kid, which included all of the ones from the later series.  I bought a number of the earlier ones from Blissard to fill gaps, though I still need #5 from 1968 and #1,2 from 1970.  

Four Color #253

Little Beaver is listed as appearing in early 1939 issues of Crackajack Funnies which included Red Ryder Sundays reprints from 1938 so the supposition that he was there from the beginning (or close to it) seems correct.

Meanwhile, Four Color #694 arrived in the mail today and now the highest issue left on my want list is #302.  I'm down to needing 42 issues from Series II.
