What Golden Age books.you are going after this year?

[Doug014-migration]

I'd like to pick up a Detective Comics #31, 33, or 38 this year, but I'd better start saving up after picking up that More Fun #52!

[batman_fan]

I recently finished my Batman run, so I have just been picking key covers. This year I plan to find a copy of Batman 73 in decent shape (any one got one they are willing to part with?). I also hope to pick up a few Captain America's.

[PovertyRow]

I'm just gonna plod along adding to my pre-code horror type set.

[Crowzilla]

Those Arrow covers are great. That was one of the first Golden Age runs I tried to put together. Well worth the effort.

 

I have a small list for this year:

 

try to shake the 9.0 Superman #14 free

Seven Seas #4

a better Zoot #11

a better Great #3

Spirit #22

maybe a USA Comics #7 - still my favorite Cap cover.

 

any 6¢ cover price books - I just think they are cool.

 

and 1 or 2 things that I'm keeping quiet on, don't want to

jinx the "wheels that are in motion".

 

[Timely]

6 cent cover price books?!? Explain.

 

Timely

[Crowzilla]

I guess to have their own unique angle, there were a handful of books that weren't a nickel, but were actually 6¢ cover price books.

Gerber pictures a few of them.

 

but I ain't gonna tell you what they all are - they're hard enough to find now.

[Thegoldenage]

I'm going after whatever Golden Age everyone else is not going after. More seriously, I am trying to get a Detective 29, a New Adventure 26, and a few other Golden Age DC Superhero books.

Does it bother you on the Supe #14 that's 9.0 there is a misplaced staple that affects the story?

Just trying to finish my Archie collection.

 

Still need Pep 22 and 23 and Jackpot 9. Someday...

You mean Batman #1 through

 

Sounds like quite an accomplishment!

[Crowzilla]

Nope.

Not a single bit.

can't read it in the CGC holder anyways.

 

[Rip]

Get some more Baker romance books. Start getting some Action below 20 again.

[Crowzilla]

Just try not to see any action below 18 - you could wind up in jail.

 

[Filter81]

I hope later in the year when I have money to spend again I will be able to find a Marvel Comics 1 in CGC 5.5 or better condition. I've got my fingers crossed one will show up in Heritage's big summer auction.

 

Other than that I'm trying to complete a small readers only run of Superman 2-12.

[batman_fan]

Yes, Batman 1 to present. The last book I needed was issue 10 which I picked up two days after my first child was born!

[CentaurMan]

Centaurs.

 

Also:

All-American Comics 8-15

Whiz Comics 1-20

Wonder Comics #1 (Fox)

Adventure Comics 33-39

 

But mainly Centaurs, especially those from 1938, and from their precursor, Comics Magazine. I have most of the later issues. Dastardly hard to find some of those earliest copies, and yet quite a few are still priced incredibly reasonably.

[buttock]

Jeez, Centaurman. You've been copying off of my wantlist.

Cheater.

[FlyingDonut]

Centaurs.

All-American Comics 8-15

Whiz Comics 1-20

Comics Magazine 2

[CentaurMan]

Mr. Donut, I already have Comics Magazine #1, #3, and #4. Here's hoping I get yours as well, although I guess I shouldn't be too overt about my interest....ah, whatever, too late. Shill bid me into oblivion!

 

You want my real want list, Mr. Buttock, here's all you need to do:

1) Consult your 2003 Overstreet.

2) Note all books published before 1941 that sell for more than $500 in Gd.

3) Check the CGC census to see how many unrestored copies of those books have been slabbed.

4) If the number is very, very small (or nonexistant), then it's on my list.

 

THIS MEANS YOU, SILVER STREAK #1!!!!!!!!!!!

 

As an aside, I can't believe I didn't know these boards existed until today. I hope my boss doesn't notice my massive upcoming productivity drop.

[Fan4Fan]

Yes, Batman 1 to present. The last book I needed was issue 10 which I picked up two days after my first child was born!

 

Hmmmm.... so this is how it works... keep the Mrs. distracted....
