Show me your Timely's and I'll show you mine. Have a Cigar... 30 30

From my understanding these were not "Timely" file copies but rather advertizers copies that were found. I too have some and have seen many. Most seem to be in the 7.0-8.5 range.

I have but one of these (the staple holes are visible in the following scan) - beautiful books with nice paper.

 

Not sure if West can answer this, but how would an 8.5 book with such staple holes grade out through CGC?

Steve, that's a very pretty copy!

[MrBedrock]

 

Not a comic, but still very Timely!

I am also very curious about that. A beautiful book Steve.

if west says they'll bump the grade up for pay/file copies, my stapler stands at the ready.

here's my one such book; mr. bedrock told me years ago he thought it was one of these pay/file copies.

It's amazing how Kirby's art stands out from the crowd. Great comic.

[Bronty]

Didn't realize that was kirby. What a beautiful cover!

Great book, BP!

DAMN! I saw that Cap on Clink and the HT on eBay. Wished I had the money for either/both. The seller of that HT had a Young Allies 9 up, but I got outbid by $5.

 

Congrats, those are two really sweet books!

[TheEyeSees]

Fantastic pick ups, SS!! That is one CAP #3 that won't see the light of day for a few decades!

[GreatEscape]

 

Nice pick-ups, Peter! Scoring two classic Timelys within 24 hrs...What a great day for you!

I saw this book on Clink, and at the price listed I knew it wouldn't last long. Congrats on a nice pickup!

thank you, sir. and he only gave me the advice, NOT the book! i think i got it from an old Executive or Greg Manning auction. been in the box a LONG time.

[Straw-Man]

 

wow, in one day one of the best of all torch covers [the best, actually] and one of the very best cap covers. slept well, i bet.

[drbanner]

 

The Torch looks awesome!

 

Might this mean there's an undercopy available?

[mr.schomburg]

There might, but some one might have already bought it! Namely me!

As you can see Mr. Schomburg is all over it already. Had to line up a buyer before I bid on this but didn't want to attract too much attention to the EBay auction (not that it mattered on the final price tag ) otherwise I would have offered my copy up to the public. I Think the HT#12 is a solid VF- with a very good shot at a VF from what I can see. If its a VF after slabbing I think I got a geat deal.
