Finally....I get to contribute to this thread. I've had Golden Age fever for a while now, and, in particular, Timely fever. I went to the Baltimore con looking for 1.) Timelys, and 2.) Action, with the big logo. I saw a fair amount of Timelys, but they were very low grade, which is ok, but they also had very big price tags attached to them. I did not see any of the large logo Actions! There may have been some, but I didn't see them anywhere. So, I came home empty handed, which was ok, because I was able to work out a deal with a local dealer for these beautiful books. I actually have two more on "law-a-way", and hope to get them in a month or so.
Anyway, I'm very excited about these books that I picked up today. They all have, at least, OW/W pages and the cover colors are super nice. The dealer that I bought them from has a large collection and guarantees them to be "unrestored or my money back", so I figured that I couldn't loose. I'll be sending these off to CGC very soon, but it sure is nice to actually look through them and read the stories (verrry carfully).
Here they are, my first Timelys...
Marvel Mystery Comics #56. A great looking Schomburg bondage cover with Nazis.
