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

I'm a little embarassed to admit that this is currently the only Timely in my collection. I sure would love to have more, but they are generally out of my price range:

 

 

Low grade, for sure, but still one of my favorite covers of the run. I've always been a sucker for a Van der Graff (sp?) generator!

 

I do have my very hopeful eyes on a lower-grade MM #10 right now. If I can keep selling at a regular clip it might be mine within a few months.

I can also offer up this slightly OT scan to keep the thread going:

 

 

Marvel Science Stories 08/39. Two months before Marvel Comics #1 with some nice Frank R. Paul interior illos.

Here's a little something I picked up over the weekend. Total beater but I still love it.

I understand your embarassement... and I'm here to help. I'll take that eyesore from you free of charge. It's the least I could do for a fellow collector.

Man.... I almost shed a tear when I saw that book. I felt the books pain from the mouse chews.

 

That said... i'd have bought that baby too

At least the mouse kindly left the title. Very thoughtful of him.

You know that is considered a sign of deeper illness.

 

Seriously - that is a spectacular cover. What I really like is it lacks the "business" of a lot of the WWII covers so the overall impact is more immediate. Then, as you peruse it, you pick up more details and meanings. Just a great great cover!

I miss this thread too. Was looking forward to seeing Timely's early Marvel

Mysteries. I would have boycotted CGC for not allowing him to post scans

if it had not been because the timing was so bad (am just about to submit

a large box of Disneys).

What the heck, here's a book I bought back in 1973. First time I ever broke the $100 barrier on a comic. I was 18 years old and more addicted to comics than girls!

Here's my copy of Captain America #74. I don't normally collect Timelys but this one I couldn't pass up.

Great book

[PUNYHUMAN]

Scarce & a Nice book to boot!!!!! Love that Cover!!!!!

While not nearly as nice as Timely's copy, I am completely stoked about picking up this copy of Young Allies #9 on Ebay last month. It ran me about 1.5X guide, but I expect to pay a premium for any Schomburg Hitler cover.

[rjpb]

Here is another recent Ebay win. Sold as a 2.5 due to a loose cover, this is the kind of high eye-appeal/low grade copy I love to find. Considering a 1.0 copy is currently at $161 w ith BP in today's Heritage Auction, I think $200 was a bargain for this one. 1943-45 Marvel Mysteries can be a steal compared to other Timelys, if you have a little patience.

I bought this Pennsylvania pedigree All-Select #1 in the 1980s. Certification statement was provided by Steve Geppi and John Snyder. Since I am overseas, the book is in storage so I only have the scan in my files. Due to the size, I loaded it to photobucket.com for viewing. Based on the scan, can you make an educated guess how it would rank against the other All-Select #1s? Since I never open my books, this book was scanned through the mylar so the tape on the bottom is actually holding the mylar to a manila backing board.

Here is a lower grade Cap 61 I bought a little while back. I always loved this cover and this was at a somewhat reasonable price...
