Holy cow, buddy - forget the Look. Just reach down and grab those pristine Tip Top 185's!

They're all so shiny.

[pmpknface]

So cool! I think I see MIGHTY BEAR #14:

So cool! I think I see MIGHTY BEAR #14:

I had the same thought re Mighty Bear. Rare sightings of Star Comics in this photo! There's also a Shocking Mystery Cases peeking out from behind the Tip Tops.

Cool new post-code & pre-code pics!

I thought the collier's magazine "the struggle for our children's minds" was about comics but it was referring to the educational system.

Is that a Canadian comic "G.I. War brides" by the foot of the guy in the wheelchair?

Here's another one from the same source and an early time period -

Comics are at bottom right.

 

 

 

Those Tip Top 185s are worth over a grand in that kind of shape. The Look magazine, maybe a couple of bucks.

 

And what's the "M" comic behind the Tip Tops? And I wonder which issue is the Betty and Veronica.

[Scrooge]

I believe the M is what .5 referred to as the Shocking Mystery Cases :thumbsup:

That's it! No. 58 to be exact! (Thank you, Gerber)

[pmpknface]

Yup! Nice pickup! I'll take one of each please! And one of that SHOW mag in the upper right too!

Since the Donald Duck is the March 1954 issue, the B&V is likely #11 since that issue is Feb. 1954 and has the red text on blue background logo.

6. mickey mantle being honored in his hometown of commerce oklahoma

7. lew burdette pitcher boston/milwaukee braves

8. marty marion cardinals shortstop 1944 NL MVP (you all knew that, right? )

9. these strips refer to game 7 of the 1962 world series between the yankees & the giants. the situation: yankees leading 1-0, bottom ninth, 2 outs with matty alou at third & willie mays on second. ralph terry pitches to willie mccovey who hits a hard line drive that is caught by the second baseman bobby richardson for the final out. a ball hit past richardson would have scored the winning runs for san francisco for their first world series championship.

the original art for these strips sold as a set for $24885 in august 2010.
