Found my other copy while digging through some boxes this weekend!

Does 2 copies count as hoarding if you that's all you can find? 

I thought this was sharp enough to not press, oh well, I guess I’ll be flattening the rest of my CADs before subbing them. Lesson learned.

Just curious, but does the off center wrap here come into play for Copper(or any) Age 9.8s?

 Judging by the date,this would have been a garage sale find a few years after it came out(likely 85).I was still pretty young when I got it,but in 1982 I was five and my dad would've only had Conan and Sgt Rock around the house.Why I was unsure if it ever had tatz in it.I still have a bunch of my dads old comics from then,never checked if they were newsies,but it's a safe bet.

(they're also worth millions to me in their battered state,regardless)

My 238 has the tatz, so at least some of them were shipped with them.

I had no idea they were still open!I had a good friend that lived in Yellowknife for a few years,I'll be sure to ask him about the place.

Oh nice! Be sure to show him the comic and let me know what he says. Maybe the owner is super rich and would like his comic back

That  N.W.T stamp is incredible! I love it.

I know right! I can’t believe they’re still open. It’s too perfect.

what is the story of this?  seems to be on illustration board not comic board.

Apparently this is the first promotional piece featuring all 4 members of the FF in costume. Kirby/Ayers. The comic cover is the Hidden Gem variant to Fantastic Four 646 (2018 Series #1).

This showed up on eBay years ago and I suspect a deal went down behind closed doors because I never saw a final price.

The books in that picture were being sold by the store. RD was a frequent buyer.  That is just the kind of store it was.  Folks say that RD had MULTIPLE Action 1.  What happened to his collection is a depressing scandal, at least in the versions I've heard told.  The story has been told on these boards several times.

Cherokee Books, Hollywood CA circa early 1960’s. Guy on left is Rick Durrell noted  early super collector and gas station owner. 

I could google it, but this is more fun. Any idea what happened to his collection? I assume those were his Action 1, Tec 1/27, Bats 1, etc, that were laid out for the photo. 

Just some Kirby’s that didn’t require any digging.

So a magazine can be delayed by 2-4 weeks waiting for the slab machine? I kind of wish I didn't know that. 

I kinda wish they had more machines.
