Show me your Timely's and I'll show you mine. Have a Cigar...
Primetime replied to Timely's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
Cap 3 released on 03-17-41. Here is a side by side shot of the two copies I’ve owned. The 4.0 (on the left) had an April 1 arrival date at the top. It’s now in a 4.5 signature series (Stan Lee) cgc slab. I won it raw off eBay in 2000 from the Dentist 🦷, Dave Anderson, for a mere $2,715.00. I foolishly sold it off in 2004 to help fund high grade early FFs 😫 I learned within a year never to do such a thing again 🫣 The 3.0 copy (on the right) is my current copy that I purchased from @G.A.tor at 2016 SDCC. The 3.0 looks somewhat similar to the 4.0 at first glance. I did not plan on taking 16 years to get a copy back, but sometimes that’s how the hobby goes 🤷🏽♂️ 🫠 Goodman had Simon change to a round shield in issue 2 to avoid potential legality problems with MLJ’s character, the Shield, who had a triangular shield. Simon, promptly had Cap throw the circular disc in issue 3 to prove that it was better off round than triangular (all this is old news 📰 of course!) -

I think they were dumped in the Hudson River. -

Love the sidebar on the 10❣️ The 10 was the first Timely that was ever offered to me circa 1995 - it was a low grade, missing the CFO, and asking price was $400. I did not buy it, because I did not know what the cover looked like at the time, so the seller advised me to pick up the Gerber Photo-journals. I did so and was instantly hooked on Timelys🤓😆 -
PGM Avengers 4 signed by Kirby
Primetime replied to lbcolefan's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
5.0 That looks like a legit Kirby sig. Love the New Year's Eve (12/31) arrival date on the front cover. -
5.5

Agreed. AF15 seems to be a tougher book to get CGC "designated" WHITE pages. Silver age DCs are also challenge to garner CGC WHITE pages.

The battle of Captain America Comics 1 7.0 CC vs Clink
Primetime replied to atomised's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
Tough to get a "full" bullet along the right edge of the cover. Often it's miscut as they are in both of these examples. -
YOUR first comic - do you still have it? Remember it?
Primetime replied to minutekev@50's topic in Comics General
Feb 1980 - FF 218 was the first Marvel I can recall selecting off the spinner rack at my local 7-Eleven. This is my original copy which, oddly, is a direct copy. I did buy it at 7-Eleven which means it should have been a newsstand copy with a barcode. I asked Steve Geppi for his explanation since the direct market was introduced in 1979 and he said it was still possible back then for retailers to buy direct (larger discount but no returns) or newsstand (some discount but able to return top 1/3 of cover for a credit on the next order). The FF218 could also have been left over unsold stock from another 7-Eleven or retailer that was resold to the new retailer. I can recall being attracted to Spidey and the busy cover that determined my selection. I also had the opportunity to purchase one of the best OA pages from this book a few years ago. I love the Sandman/Electro last panel with interior pencils by John Byrne and inks by Joe Sinnott. -

And to think he did as many as 9 covers in a week once upon a time. -

A nice 4.0 sold privately for $58k several weeks ago as well. The 4.5 had full girders art and pedestrians along the right edge which only the 7.5 Billy Wright copy has. Quite a unique aspect of the 9 tucked in the corner. -

44 is not a Schomburg cover. Looks like Syd Shores..Alex is top notch and inked all his pencils. -

I didn’t see 🤷🏽♂️ a MM5 or 9 in this thread, so I’ll post my copies. They are arguably in my top 5 all time Schomburg covers -

It’s a Schomburg cover for sure.
