    I don't consider any of those books or their pages crummy.

    I agree with you that the later Okijimas have very nice, off-white to white type pages ... as opposed to the crummy off-white to white type pages of Denver books.

    Can you show us some crummy paged Denvers?

    @Drgoldage Thanks for some back story on the Denver Penn books. The first I heard of them was around 1985/86 from a dealer-collector named Joe Dungan who lived in San Antonio. He had purchased a fair number of them from Payette and was trading them for DC's that he wanted. I had a bunch pass through my hands courtesy of Joe, including Crash 1, Green Hornet 1, Miracle 1, Rocket 1, Sure Fire 1, Super-Mystery 1, Rex Dexter 1, Flame 1 and the Dollman above. They all were incredibly fresh and had killer paper. I wish I had the foresight to, and could have afforded to, keep all of those books back then.

    Bought the 6 from Harley at Torpedo Con last year. If I see another nice one I will give you a shout.

    One day @greggy will send me his 9.6. I certainly ain't selling you mine.

    I'm just guessing, but it seems like a possibility.

    That, for some reason, the first time it was graded they deducted for the writing on the cover.

    Barry is an interesting cat. The first time I met him was at the first Collector's Summit in Dallas. He set his display up on one of the center tables and one of the items was a More Fun 74 that was incredibly and unnaturally white. Understand that this was a meeting of high-end, established collectors and dealers, all of whom at that time probably had more experience handling books than he did. So I may have been out of line when I picked up the More Fun to examine it more closely, but I was really amused when he said "THAT’S AN EXPENSIVE GOLDEN AGE COMIC. DON'T TOUCH IT!"

    Everything reminds you of the Alf cover with the seal.
