Love this book! Congrats on putting it back in your collection. Here's mine:

That is a nice copy. I keep coming back to look at it. I am hoping to buy more as I find them. 

Tip Top Comics 190!! Partial cover and 6 pages interior. This copy is going to CGC.

Tip Top Comics 213

You had to battle for that one. Very nice.

Tip Top Comics 211 - lots and lots of the Crew.

Tip Top Comics 186 - 3 pages and a cover. Tough book to find above VG. 

Tip Top Comics 209 

Perhaps the first time the term "rats" was uttered by a Peanuts character?

Tip Top Comics 208 - 6 full pages

So does that issue contain the first Lucy pulling away the football gag? That reads like it is. I mean, I assume it’s a reprint of a strip, but I’d guess it’s the first deployment of that gag.

One of the reasons I started collecting raw copies was to document the comic book appearances and try to determine questions like this. I have a large number of the raw copies documented and dated so that I can try to understand. Working through this and sharing the great Peanuts here is fun.

Tip Top Comics 193 from Dec 1955 - 5 sweet pages of vintage Peanuts.

Are you aware that Four Color 878 also comes in a 15 cent variant? In case you want to add it to your want list

 

Thanks. Yes, I have seen the price variants. I think these can be found on a few other issues as well. I am happy to find any Peanuts at this point.

I've been stuck on the road for a while, but I finally came home to see this one in person. I nice little upgrade for the Peanuts collection. I have an under copy but not sure I can part with it. Even my wife said we should keep it for now.
