Waiting for this baby to arrive Thanks to a fellow board member. The Red Skull covers have always been my favorites from the Cap run.

 

Great book John! :applause:

 

Thanks Alex. It looks like this issue belongs in a Horror thread but I love it and the title "Weird Tales".

Nice books guys. Well did anyone ever bother to check with Joe Simon if the skull on the wheel was intended to be the Red Skull? That would solve it.
who else could it be John?

 

I guess it is somewhat

NEW scanner (finally, a flatbed that works with all my books, including CGC slabs!)...

 

 

...AND a new, totally Charmin :cloud9: acquisition! :banana:

Off white-White pages with slight to moderate restoration (8.5 App).

 

Also, here is my rescan of my slabbed Cap #5 (CGC 8.5 Blue)...

I probably could've adjusted the yellow in the scan a bit around the edges as there is no darkening at either end of the word America on the actual book, but I think this scan looks great otherwise! (thumbs u

:gossip: Epson Perfection V33 (from Fry's). They're available on line pretty cheap, when in stock. The results are spectacular (IMO) and it's easy enough to use that now I'm thinking about buying a second one for back-up in case this one ever breaks down (which you know it will, eventually).

 

BTW, you do realize that a "Merryweather" scanner is the same as a CAT-scan, don't you? :baiting:

That's a heavy responsibility (I'm not Mitchell Mehdy, you know). hm

 

Well, I can honestly say that my decision to purchase Roy's copy of MM#2 is partially responsible for getting me back into GA collecting after a lengthy hiatus.

 

:angel: Here are the newly scanned front and back covers...

If it's only TP, at least it's totally Charmin. :cloud9:

I was more fond of it as a CGC 6.0. doh! (And I realize this transformation occurred under somebody else's watch, Michael.)

 

Venus08-60.jpg

 

Well, at least it went up in CGC's estimation, not down!

 

the crack/resubber must have thought it was going to get a HUGE jump, as there can't be $50 diff b/w a 6.0 and a 6.5 of that book.

 

very pretty, regardless, and i just love the arrival date in the moon.

Give us a closer look Billy! Now that I have a few I reckon it might be fun to look for the rest - and some will be tougher than others, n'est-ce pas?
