Thanks Steve. (thumbs u

Wow! Nice #3's everyone!

 

I think we will see far more variation with the next couple of issues...

 

 

Spectacular run of Planets so far Flex!

No fair Chris,you had some insider information.

Right,the competition for many MLJs has sure heated up. I'm constantly amazed at what some of the Peps go for.

Thanks. I love the cover too. Remember Pearl Harbor!

Just in. Really happy to find this as I've been trying to upgrade for a long time. Some MLJs rarely turn up and I think this is one of them. Time for the dance..

Another copy

 

Hoarder.

Definitely on a roll

 

Yeah, the purple label dims its shine a bit (CGC 8.5 MP) but it will have to do until I manage a Blue.

 

[ 1 9.2®, 1 9.0, 1 8.5 & 3 8.5®, 1 8.0® ]

 

Will post a better scan when I have it in hand.

 

Congrats,it's a gorgeous book, resto or not. I've always liked the cover with Bats punching the baddie off the girder to his death.Reminds me of the solo Bat.

Pons will be so surprised. What's next,high grade Action 116?

LOOK OUT BELOW!!!!!! I hope there is room in the MLJ POOL because I am diving in with the this low grade beauty!!! As I stated earlier I really started appreciating these early Pep covers so I went out and bought me one Yeah Yeah its not Pep #32 but what gives? Did they seriously not think we would catch this 70 years later

Every bit as cool as the Pep 32 for way less loot. Congrats Gino!

The Eldon is my favorite.

Just picked myself up a lil' Timely

 

Sharp looking copy my friend! (thumbs u

Here is my raw copy I bought from MrBedrock eons ago.I just love the look on the Red Skull's face.

Does a boardie own the Billy Wright copy?

 

I don't know the answer to that, but after thoroughly examining all the rules for entry into this club, I hereby stake claim to 2 spots:

 

 

 

Great looking 3.0 Chris. Like to see that one in person.

Recently acquired.

 

You should know.. And thanks again for helping me give this one a permanent home. (thumbs u

Here's my copy. I had to go purple to get a nice looking one.Not that I mind,I actually like restored comics. Mid to high grade blue labels are out of reach for me,and even if I built a war chest by selling off part of my collection I don't think I'd be comfortable putting so much into one funny book.

 

Ok, here's my current (and second copy I've ever owned) copy. There's a story behind every book and here it is as I was told:

 

Mary was given 3 comics. She stored them at her parents house. She just discovered that one of the 3 comics was an original Batman #1 from 1940...Mary was a young (20 yrs?) lady traveling in Alaska. A male aquaintance asked her if she liked magazines. She said yes and he gave her 3 comic books. Batman # 1, Fight Comics #5 and Jumbo Comics #15 (all around same time period). Mary took back home to Washington state and stored them away. When going through her parents estate 40 years later she rediscovered the comics. After CGC and stopping briefly through two dealers, I acquired the book

 

 

Wonderful unrestored copy Ben! and a good story too!

Okay, folks...

 

I just won the pretty thing I was enamored with. To say I'm super pumped would be an understatement.

 

Remember last week when I expressed a fondness for a certain early Action cover?...

 

ACTION COMICS #22 CGC 3.5 (Off-White to White Pages)

 

 

 

Should look really nice with my Superman #2. Starting to look like early Superman will be my primary focus in this Golden Age DC quest.

 

I have my eye on something in the CC auction ending in a few days.

After that, I'll probably slow down over the holidays so the wife doesn't hit me over the head with

a baseball bat in my sleep.

Wonderful book. Congrats! I think it's one of the best early Supes covers.

Here's a better pic of the amateur color touch:

 

 

What do you guys think? Yay or nay to restoration removal? Don't know what's left under there and I would obviously take a hit in grade. But I'd rather have a lower blue than a higher PLOD.

I don't think that the spot in the yellow bricks is color touch,looks more like a small stain.Amatuer color touch is fairly easy to spot as the materials used,like felt tip markers,never match very well.I would guess it is probably on a crease,spine stress or small paper lift. Can you post a larger scan?

My collection always feels incomplete when I don't have a copy of this book in it. Was very happy to make a trade with Terry O'Neil today at the Philly show to add this one back in the fold. Low grade, but I love it anyway

 

Attaboy on this one too! (thumbs u

Always nice to deal with Terry.

Looks great! I didn't realize Hourman is in that book.

Let's see the group shot!

 

192 pages of DC goodness. Way to go Pons!

Thanks Pons. (thumbs u

True,he loved that theme.Pair it with his wonderfully distinctive style and I just can't resist!

Difficult to follow that gorgeous Whiz 1,but I'll make an attempt.Very happy to finally have a decent copy of this Schomburg classic.
