Church copies of Adventure coming to Heritage

[Crowzilla]

From today's Scoop - Church copies of Adventure at Heritage

 

This is sure to bring some strong interest.

The #44 and #47 used to be mine and were traded to the dentist long ago, so they'll probably bring a tear to my eye when I see what they bring.

So they're sending them to CGC Heritage better hope they don't come back PLODs like a few Church books have (think GL 1).

[Dark Knight]

Can't wait to check em out once they're up on Heritage .. Although I don't collect Adventure Comics and knowing that Mile Highs are way out of my price range, I truly love pretty much all of the Sandman covers.

[Bronty]

I like the hourman covers myself, but the whole title is great. Will be fun to see where these end up.

I could be talking out of my arse, here, but I think they came from the same collector as the GL Church books...

 

At least, it was my understanding that Joe had many of the Adventures. I've got a couple of his non-pedigree cast-offs.

When I bought the 44 I was warned that a certain dealer in Castle Rock had it at one point and it was cleaned - if Joe is the current owner, I'm going to hope for his sake that's not the case.

Time will tell, but it's still exciting to see what happens with the grades, labels, and auction itself.

Bad memories. Dealers with resto training

Perhaps Mr Bedrock knows if these are Joe's? If it is there's at least one more Adventure that isn't in the sale.

Should be a pretty exciting mix to watch. Wish I didn't need all my organs ...

Thanks, I was just going to ask if anyone knew who was the seller.

 

Man, for his sake and the sake of the collecting minority who would like to see nice books stay untampered with, I sure hope these books didn`t get restored like some of the MH GLs did.

What did you grade them as? And was there any restoration on the books when you traded them to the Dentist?

Oh I'm sure they won't; they'll have someone look over them that would be certain they'd come back in a blue holder.

The #44 used to be mine

 

The cover art to this copy is fantastic.......I don't know how scarce issue #44 is, but I know I've never seen a copy at any Con, or offered by a collector/dealer over the past ? years ( that I recall )

 

What do you think this book will grade at / sell for?

If it grades at least 9.4 unrestored I think it will easily get 45-50K

Metro "has listed" a #44 5.0 for 2k...go bananas

 

I picked up a #51 in the latest Trolley batch, which I've found to be extremely tough to find as well.

 

I totally love all the early Sandman covers and am interested in seeing what these grade/go for.

Gary Carter setting up the early Church superhero Adventure run (I can still visualize the books on the top shelf of the display) at the San Diego Con - this was in the old days, of course.

 

I have the Nova Scotia copy Adventure 44, which I fortunately obtained from Jim Payette:

There will be one or two sacrificial PLOD's to make it look good. But a lot of "otherwise" or small color touch or "dab of glue".

I owned the MH copy of Adventure #42 for a number of years. It went for about 6 times guide or so in 2002. CGC graded it 9.4...it was incredible.
