Another cool cover from my fav Golden  Age hero. It has great colour and eye appeal for a low grade . Just trying to pick up books I can afford and enjoy.

Subby 27 was my first golden age Timely issue.  I was shocked to see it at my LCS and couldn’t get my wallet fast enough to buy.  It was a real beater but it was a Timely Everett Subby!  Congrats and enjoy.

Wow just stunning . I could never afford such books but find them inspiring to continue hunting my own runs. I remember years ago on Metropolis web site having a “ D” copy Sub-Mariner 32. It was highest ever graded and cost a pretty penny back then , I think it was $ 7500.00 USD over 10 years ago . Such a pleasure to see these high grade books .

Thanks!  Subby 32 is my favourite issue, i have the Okajima copy its a 8.5.  It’s passed thru the hands of several boardies over the years @adamstrange

Afternoon coffee break...

The CF is detached on the 6, looks much nicer than the grade

Both are beautiful! The #6 is the only Sub-Mariner I've never owned at one time or another. I should rectify that.hm

Sub-Mariner 5 was in my LCS years ago . They had cgc issue 2 at 2.5 or raw number 5. I chose the number two and never ever did find # 5 again . This was around 2008. I paid 250.00 Canadian for # 2 I believe issue 5 was less. Oh those were the times . You could look up on the back wall see silver age classics all over the place . How times have changed . I love the hunt as well it just requires more patience and timing
