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

[Timely]

can't let this thread get into july without a post since 6/19. so, here is the very first timely i ever acquired, which still resides proudly in my cap run. from an original owner collection found near rochester; my 3, 6 and 10 are all from the same cache.

 

 

That's awesome Billy!

 

My first Timely I bought 25 years ago, but sold 18 years ago. It's a Marvel Mystery Comics #74 that I bought from the classified newspaper ads. It is currently sitting on ebay in a CGC 9.0 holder (JHV has it.) I've been tempted to get it back.

[Straw-Man]

thanks, sir.

 

mm 74's in 9.0 are cool.

My first Timely was a Marvel 72 bought at a HoustonCon in the early '70s from Tanner Miles for $25. It now resides in the collection of my favorite geek.

I trust you sold it to him at cost?

[font:Times New Roman]I picked up my first Timely less than a decade ago.

 

Given what my collection looks like now is a tribute to how addictive they are! [/font]

My first Timely was a Marvel Mystery Comics number 13 that I bought at an El Paso Texas convention ~1989. It was three hole punched and trimmed on one side but it was also only a hundred dollars. I got it CGC graded and sold it a number of years ago. If anybody knows where it resides I'd love to buy it back someday.

[font:Times New Roman]Billy's collection is quite magical.[/font]

[Straw-Man]

i like blackstone just fine, but it's a "need" for me as the blonde phantom resides inside those covers.

[Straw-Man]

that new one joins this'un---i really have a hankering to find the b'stone 2 d-copy now, and thus have the whole, albeit small, run from mr. crippen.

So does Blackstone save his hide?

[Straw-Man]

i've never read it, but he was back for #4.

[Cat-Man_America]

So does Blackstone save his hide?

 

[font:Times New Roman]It doesn't look like a fatal choice to me. Neither of 'em are actually tied to the rails (Blackstone could roll off or she could stand-up and fall forward).

 

The bad guys apparently didn't think this one through very well.[/font]

The Young Allies #1 is a new addition...

[Straw-Man]
