  1. Nice book Surfer...the colours (color for my American friends thumbsup2.gif ) look fantastic. Do you like to have your Timelys graded. Most of mine are raw - vg to fine books. They kind of look really good in the CGC cases don't they...I have one Torch book graded, but wondering if I should get my others done .... not to resell, but just for appearance....mind you then I could not get at that wonderful GA book smell cloud9.gif What do you think....???

  2. PS...ya, I much rather have unrestored books, but if that were the case, I would not be able to really afford the books that I want. When I recently picked up my restored HT 12 - which looks fantastic I might add, I could never have afforded the book in same grade but unrestored.

     

    To me, good resto on a key Timely or one of my personal grails -- well, I don't care ..... bring on .....I will take em all ...... 893whatthe.gif

     

    Send me your restored, your colour touched, your piece replaced, your purple labels....I'll take em all..... hail.gifcloud9.gifthumbsup2.gif

  3. Those are great looking books podboy! I especially like the robot cover on issue #23 - a classic cover for sure. Great stuff.

     

    SS...I don't know how anyone can go wrong with GA Timelys. Is it possible - restored, unrestored, high grade, low grade. These books were some of the best ever. Covers that are what comics are all about. I love this stuff. To me - it is what comics are all about. I have favorite bronze and silver stuff, but I cannot resist this kind of stuff. Hopefully GA keeps flat for a while - although you don't see it with key Timely in any grade....to me, I much have a raw low or mid grade Timely book than a 9.6 or 9.8 bronze, copper or modern book. What say you...

  4. This one arrived today...HT #21 6.5 w/moderate P resto. I love Schomburg covers hail.gifhail.gifhail.gif and could not resist in picking this one up from Rich. Hey - Thanks Rich! 893applaud-thumb.gif Very happy with the book.

     

    I have two more war cover books that I am expecting two more classic war cover keys arrive within the next week or so, so I can hardly wait...it is going to be a Shomburg kind-a-month for me so I am just thrilled!

    One book I really wanted for my "grail" collection. I am getting another "grail" book soon, so I will post another when I have it in my hot little hands! Gotta love Schomburg covers - I just never get tired of his stuff....

  6. I had a few Timelys up until a few years ago when I sold them all, so here is my first addition to the new collection I am starting up...not in any particular order, but these are my personal "grails" that I want to try and get...

    USA 7
