A few GA gems - some pretty nice stuff here

[buttock]

All American 61 - I don't need to say much about this book. It simply doesn't come up for sale. When it does, it's either low-grade or restored due to the black background. CentaurMan's scarcity "Windex" suggests that this book is highly treasured as the number of slabbed copies sold is much fewer than the number slabbed. This is a beautiful copy with superb OW/W paper. The main defect is the crease visible in the scan, the mild spine roll, and a small piece of paper stuck to the inside of the front cover. This is a 1 x 1/3 inch piece of red paper with an "R" on it. It looks like a stray piece of wrapping paper got stuck and rather than peel it off, they just cut it to fit. It's inside the top right hand corner. It is NOT a support, and I would imagine it's been there for decades since there's a crease that runs over that corner and the piece of paper is creased with it.

 

Win bought this from Harley Yee as a VG+, and I traded him for it at VG+ as well. The crease is probably going to keep it at a strict VG 4.0, but it really is a very nice copy. Detective27Kid just sold a CGC 5.5 for $2800 which would make this roughly a $2100-2200 book. I'm pricing this for sale at $1750.

First appearance of Solomon Grundy. I wouldn't mind owning that one...

 

Time payments are available...

 

 

 

 

sorry I had to say it.

I'm surprised that the AA 61 hasn't sold yet...

Detective Picture Stories 5 - Incredibly hard book to find. When was the last time you saw one available? This is the first published Bob Kane "detective"-style art, and is listed as a Bruce Wayne prototype.

 

This copy has amateur color touch, some glue on the bottom of the spine on the first wrap, and the staples were replacecd. None of this was necessary, unfortunately. The paper is CR/OW to sight, but is much more supple than you'd expect for that color.

 

Looks like a GD+ or so to the sight. OSPG 2.0 is $180, I'm asking $250. If this was unrestored I'd ask twice that.

 

 

 

Great pick-up Bob!!! (thumbs u

 

I was tempted myself!!!!

CURSE YOU MID OHIO!

 

(Not really Mid Ohio, I still love you. I dragged home some mighty nice stuff....at the cost of every cent in my pockets, and a few out of my credit cards, )
