Here's my All Winners #7. Rare Book? :banana:

 

GREAT book!!! Hard to obtain a copy of this one (I still need one), unless you want to pay at least double guide regardless of grade (just shootin' from the hip, I've not done actual research on this). This issue is where the covers start getting really good!!! :applause: Well done sir (thumbs u

 

Thanks! I lucked into this one. I saw that it could be undergraded and bid agressively, considering the stated grade. When I got it back from CGC :whee:

 

Your 4 leaf clover paid off :headbang: It's a fantastic Schomburg :cloud9:

 

agreed; aw 7 a great book. this 'un is my fave all winners cover.

My Cap 31. A very nice mid grade copy with excellent pq.

Wow! That's a really nice book with fantastic art! That Shomburg was a real genius and your book proves it!

 

Thanks very much Steven!!! This is one of my favorites!!! The eight larger sized Caps Schomburg did are all classics to me!!!

 

Schomburg and Barks are my favorite GA artists for basically the same reason: attention to detail! IMO, there are very few artists of the period that could stack so much into so little space. Lots of bang for the buck!

 

I couldn't agree more!!! I would also add L.B. Cole to my list of cover artists that give lots of bang for the buck (thumbs u

My lil' reader copy of Cap 35. Nothin' fancy, just a raw reader :grin:

Great readers Frisco! (thumbs u

 

Thanks!! If I could afford it, I'd have a reader copy for every nice grade slabbed copy I have!!! I know, some people think that that's :screwy:

 

If I can just get a copy of each I'll be :cloud9:

 

It seems like everytime I get a good run going some type of financial reality interferes and I sell on eBay. :cry:

 

I understand completely!!! I'm hopelessly caught in the situation of wanting them in beautiful high grade and wanting to be able to look inside and experience the entire comic book. I guess I'll always have some of each :grin:

My very first Captain America Comics. In spite of the slight miscut, I'm very happy with it. Real nice OW/W pages and vibrant colors. After reading god knows how many books and seeing god knows how many books on the subject, I knew one day I would own this book!

 

And still after all these years the best non-fiction book on the Holocaust is the one I read in high school: "The Destruction of the European Jews" by Raul Hilberg. He died a few years ago and his book was highly controversial for many reasons. Another good non-fiction work was Hannah Arendt's "Eichmann in Jerusalem: The Banality of Evil". Turns out they corresponded for many years.
