I got more than just this but it was the only graded book so I still have to scan the rest.....I thought I got this for a song by just putting in a lowball bid vs popping a BIN

Sweet Book! It's one of my favorite Adams Tomahawk covers.

I know I'm one of about 3 people on the boards who care about Charlton cartoon books... but I don't care. These are beyond sweet. Newstand fresh, white pages, with just a hint of storage wear. BA Charltons are just super good looking books in HG. I was pretty psyched to find them.

Thanks.

 

They're not half as sweet as realitytrips Hulk145. I've never owned a remotely nice copy of that book. Great pickup.

Paul,

 

I disagree with you. That #11 is Mike Zeck's 1st published work. That is a super nice copy and may challenge for top census.

Great book, which also happens to be Doc Watsons birthday book.

Got this one on Ebay pretty happy with the price and census numbers

[realitytrip]

Yeah, I know these books are common as dirt

And, yeah, I already had nice copies of all these books, nevertheless, I was very happy to pick up these books in this condition for 11 bucks each this weekend...

Very nice Bill.

 

That Wonder Woman 199 in 9.6. You kidding me, Dude. That's a heck of a book. Congrats. I gotta get me one to pair up with my 9.4, 200. Wow! Impressive book, Congrats, Bill

Bronze Marvel Collectors please help. Good friend of mine just bought a copy of "What if" #1 from 1977. He thinks it's a 6.0 or 6.5. What is the FMV for this book? I'd appreciate all responses.

 

Thanks--Comic collectors are cool.

Not even worth shipping in my opinion....maybe a couple bucks in that grade....here is one that sold on Ebay for $1.00 in Fine condition

I mentioned in comics general that I picked up a haul of sweet, sweet Archies while driving through Ohio last week. Without a doubt the nicest ones I've ever found in a comic shop. Structurally gorgeous, bone white covers and pages, glossy covers, just beautiful. Especially the giants from 1973, which are exceptionally tough in grade. I have no doubt that some of these may be the nicest in existence.

 

One painful part--the most structurally perfect books in the bins sadly had a strip of foxing/mold growth along the top back cover. I would have loved to be able to overcome my mold phobia for these. But, they were too ugly, regardless of how they would have been graded.

 

Anyway, pardon the bags--but life's chaotic right now and time is short. Besides, it's always fun to see that gorgeous 35 year old books are still out there for a few bucks.

 

 

Here's the first batch.

One of my favorite BA covers.

Another of my favorite BA covers--too bad it's probably the lowest grade book in the lot. Still super glossy and white.

Love 1970's hot pants covers. Guess this is more like a hot pants-suite. God I miss the 1970's.

How many "Betty doing a split" covers have there been over the years?

added two more to the Adams collection today...

Sweet books, Dover. I don't know that I've ever seen a HG copy of that Action. You're making me jealous. Back in the early 80's I set the goal of getting all Adams DC covers. At the time, most averaged $3 in NM. It was just impossible to find them, so I gave up.

 

Now, even though there's no love for the Archie books, I'm going to inflict more on everyone. I can't even tell you how tough these are in grade. Unlike most Marvel and DC's, you could look for 5-10 years for a HG copy of some of these and still come up empty handed. The nice thing about this batch was that not only the Archie and the B&V's were there ( which are slightly more common in HG because, I believe, many were in multipacks), but some of the secondary titles like Archie and Me had nice HG copies, which you never, ever see.

 

Hmm. Nothing like that 1970's teen fad, roller derby!! What were they thinking (I'm guessing it had something bizarre to do with "Rollerball")? And is this the only roller derby cover ever published?

Hot pants again. I swear, for about 5 years, "hot pants" must have been the topic or punch-line of more Archie covers than anything else. I blame Dan Decarlo.
