Thats another one that made HA's 10 rarest MLJ list...

 

Could you post the list please?

 

I was curious as to which 10 MLJ comics Heritage considered the rarest myself (Note: They did qualify the list with a maybe).

 

Here's a direct link with the covers represented:

 

http://comics.ha.com/c/newsletter.zx?frame=no&id=4515#collector-c

 

 

GREAT covers all.......great images to share. I did not know that Heritage promoted the 21 but finished with the Hangman 8 as to scarcity.....

 

The recreation I had Fujitani do for me.....many moons ago

 

Cool recreation (and is that copy your # 8?) (worship)(worship)

Doesn't hurt that the Blue Ribbon 21 they featured in the article was courtesy of your incredible collection too Mr. Berk.

 

Frankly as many can attest, I ain't no "Mister". As to having the book in the list which I did not note until yesterday, even a blind squirrel can find a nut.

 

Please note that I do not have any of the books that I do not have (!).......I am just an old geek like you guys that enjoys the bright colors.....jb oh the Hangman 8 is mine.....

Duly noted on 'Mister', sir :baiting:lol

Your Hangman 8 is probably the best iv'e seen that is 'accounted' for. Most that turn up are average about g/vg (which i'd take in a heartbeat :D cuz it's hard to acquire). Again (worship)(worship)

What do you think of later Zips?

 

Zip38.jpg

Like this one, Andrew posted some cool later Zips maybe a week or to ago also. The post Hero/serious tone covers are lighter in fare, but captivating in their own right.

 

Yeah I definitely like the later Zips... though if I am being honest I'm more partial to the multi character covers like Steve's 38. And this...

 

Zip%2036_zpskyx2cufd.jpg

Yeah, that is a cool cover. It's the Pep 36 in the Zip run. This is it's cousin in the Top-Notch run: Ginger was the breakout star in Zip, Suzie was Top-Notch's 'Archie'. She debuted here along with a few others.

Nice copy! And I love that recreation. You had a few done right? Such great detail! (thumbs u

 

I'm almost afraid to post mine for fear of dispelling the HA myth!

And thus, the Trinity is now complete! Super copy, and those books look awesome together! ( if I say so myself) :D

lol , well then we can all agree on 'scarce' at least? You guys are SO lucky. And yours looks around at least 5.0-5.5 ish? So better than average copy to boot! :cloud9:

And, now for something completely different... A cast signed booklet from the 1940s Archie radio show :)

Really nice! Do recordings of the old radio show still exist?

I just read back a few pages in this cool thread and realized I have one of HA's top ten rarest MLJ's. I might have another one as well. I will have to look. I just like Blue Ribbons anyway. Haven't looked in that box for a while and this thread is getting me inspired... Oh, does that "L" mean anything? Seems like I have seen it on books before.

And by the way: I think the 'L' is a 'marking' on what's known as a 'Detroit Trolley Copy'. Very distinguished collection, though not an 'official' pedigree(CGC does not note it on labels of books from the collection) (shrug) . Im certain, a Boardie(or 10 :D ) can give you more info or a link , if you're not already slightly familiar at least with its story.
