What's new in your Silver Age collection this week 43 43

And here's the other book I submitted at the Wizard World Long Beach Con that came back yesterday. Bought it about 5 years ago at Comic-Con in San Diego. The dealer called it a raw 7.0 so Marsha and I were jumping for joy when we saw the grade: (It's Batman 181, the Origin and first appearance of Poison Ivy)

 

 

Sweet! (thumbs u

 

I just send my copy to CGC. Graded it a vf- and am curious what grade it will receive.

 

Yes, I'm curious, too. Please post a scan when it comes back.

 

It's one of my favorite books.

 

Thanks!

 

Will do!

 

I also love that book and Infantino Batman in general.

....that's a pretty 4.0, Mike..... I've never owned a 247 in my life, and I used to love the Legion. GOD BLESS....

....and as they used to say years ago.... that Spidey costume is "The Cat's Pajamas"......

Very nice copy, and tough to find with page quality better than C-OW.

I've been a big Legion fan for a long time, but this is the first time that I own a 247.

The PQ is what made me go for the book. And also that it's a well presenting 4.0.

I've been a big Legion fan for a long time, but this is the first time that I won a 247.

 

Beautiful colors on that Adventure Comics 247. One of the reasons, I suppose, that the book presents so well. Congrats!!

Not a key, but high(ish) grade and cheap are always my favorite books!

Actually I bought this book about 30 or 40 years ago. I have no idea where I bought it. I'm thinking Passport Comics in North Hollywood but I really don't know. My wife and I thought the book would come back a 6.5 or 7.0 when we submitted it at theWizard World Long Beach Con on the 28th of February. Came back yesterday and we were pleasantly surprised at the grade. It's the first Silver Age appearance of the Penguin:

 

 

Nice copy. Every book from your collection when graded must almost feel like a new buy.

The copies that have kept their delicate blue background color always have great visual appeal.

So True!! Especially from a book purchased nearly two decades ago!
