    3. Will you dump some lower grade GA knowning that you have an opportunity a year or so from now to buy a better condition copy or an upgrade from Bang?

     

    If I were you (or anyone else), I wouldn't be planning what to buy based on what you think I will be doing in the future. 893naughty-thumb.gif893naughty-thumb.gif

     

    I thought somewhere on this thread you wanted to sell them eventually but I must of misread the thread. No harm intended.

    Several companies ended up reprinting US issues on cheaper newsprint. But I also assume the plates they were printing from were not in good shape by the time they reached Canada, having already been used to print thousands of first editions. thin priting plates do not hold ink well so that, along with inferior presses and inexperienced colour separtors had a lot to do with the quality. And sometimes remaindered comics would have a different cover slapped on them. that affected comics whose first story pages bagan on the inside front cover. The first pages simply wouldn't be there anymore!

     

     

    I have many Canadian Edition Golden Age comics with that problem. The other problem is alot of them seem to be miscut!!! I have few mid to high grade Canadian Editions with miscuts!!

     

    For an example, Sensation Comics #74 (Below). As collector I would be embarrased to sell this to any Golden Age Collector on these boards despite it is a CGC 7.5 grade. (Note: For Golden Age a CGC 7.5 is considered a High Grade Copy!) I didn't noticed how bad it was until it was in a slab!!! The picture does not even show how mad the miscut is!!! Why are most Golden Age Canadian Editions have that severe miscut?

     

    Here is an example:

    I just got that one on eBay with a few others. cloud9.gif

     

    It's no VF+, but it cost me about $10, so I am happy.

    Nice pick-up!! headbang.gif

     

    The copy I have is the highest graded copy but there has to be a copy higher than this one somewhere!! You figure there would be a copy graded higher after 4 to 5 years. I paid next to nothing for this book as a store was getting rid of some stock in December!! HOWEVER, I will be selling this book soon on ebay so look out for it. (April or May) I got to get rid of my spiderman's first!!

     

    The funny part is I don't even like war comics that much!! I had most of the keys and traded them in for an X-men #12 (1st Juggernaut)
