Scrooge Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Nice, Go Betty Go An ad for the Archie comic strip from the early '60s Agreed that's a nice piece. 143, are you looking like CBG does for DTM material for any Archie related memorabilia or do you pick and choose what you'd like to have. I imagine the gentle folks at Archie put out tons of licensed items over the years, right. Any particularly goofy items you know of, or are looking for in particular?

143ksk Posted December 10, 2005 Author Share Posted December 10, 2005 143, are you looking like CBG does for DTM material "DTM?" do you pick and choose what you'd like to have. I imagine the gentle folks at Archie put out tons of licensed items over the years, right. Any particularly goofy items you know of, or are looking for in particular? Scrooge There's really not as much as you would expect pre 1968. It's nothing like Disney or Peanuts where there are a million different items out there. I'm interested in pretty much anything that's pre 1968. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Smooth Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 It is restored. Here's the THREAD that shows the work that was done Very nice. A book of that stature NEEDS to be restored. With the cover off and the comic deteriorating the way it was, youd have nothing but dust in 30 years. What most people dont realise about their comics is that they will ALL need to be restored or deacidified if they want to keep them around for the next 5-600 years.

nearmint Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 Recently, I realized that the reason I like those goofy Lois Lane covers so much is because they remind me of Archies, the first comics I bought as a 5-year-old. The Lois/Lana rivalry so closely mirrors that of Betty & Veronica. So, I picked up a few books off eBay this week. I haven't bought raw from unknown sellers in a while, and I was quickly reminded how bad the grading can be. None of these books were accurately graded. I'm keeping two, but haven't decided about the Laugh #130, as the cover is barely hanging on at both staples. Very fun covers, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

143ksk Posted December 18, 2005 Author Share Posted December 18, 2005 Thanks for posting those nearmint There are so many extremely cool covers from that period--those are just two. It amazes me that Overstreet hasn't broken out more of them in the guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nearmint Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Here's two more just in from eBay. Surprisingly, both books were accurately graded. Clearly, this seller has no concept of eBay grading... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotemo Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Are the Laugh 130 and 131 comics the copies from this auction? Ebay Laugh Comics Practically the whole series of Pep and Laugh monster covers were sold but they became too pricey for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nearmint Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Yes, and they were all overgraded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotemo Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 I'm sorry to hear about the condition of those books. The original photos from the auction don't reveal some of the minor flaws that your scans do. I love the early Mad House issues. The one with Betty and Veronica as mermaids is one of my favorites.
