SA Adventure Comics Collectors Thread 7 7

Nice one, Steve. I'd like to pick up a copy of that book someday. (thumbs u

A fairly recent purchase. It's not HG so those HG collectors, look away and close your eyes or throw tomatoes at it but it's a pretty LG copy and it didn't cost a zillion bucks.

 

Adventure Comics 256 in CGC 4.0 with OW/W PQ containing the origin of Green Arrow as drawn by the King:

 

 

 

 

Looks like exactly the copy I need, Steve, so no tomatoes thrown from me, just green eyes of envy.

The blue and yellow colour combination on #256 always impresses.

Picked up a decent copy of #290. Thought I'd share and give this thread a bump!

That's one pretty book, Dave. It's always been one of my favorite Adventure Comics covers; the combination of orange and blue are just striking. And of course I love pre Adventure Comics 300 Legion stories. Congrats on the pickup!

Sent my youngest off to college last week, so I've got some time on my hands. Here's a few of my most recent purchases.

 

First, some Krypto for Hepcat:

 

 

How about a couple Bizarros?

 

[dave32563]

Picked this gem up in the sales thread. Only (2) 9.6's in the census. This is the lone 9.4. Too bad there are no Legionaires on the cover, but still glad to add it to my collection

So where do you think the 7.0 #247 in the Comiclink auction hammers at?

[peewee22]

Is there spots/stains all over the 247 or is that my computer?

Yes, there's a lot of foxing on that cover, otherwise I'd be all over it.

I see them too, so I'm guessing they're on the book.

[jmg3637]

I have been waiting to post these in this thread.

 

My first really big grail, as the LSH was always my favorite title/group while growing up.

 

I think I got the 2nd in the early days of ebay

 

 

[peewee22]

Great pair. Both unrestored?

[Tri-Color Brian]

Double cover. The 2nd cover is only slightly better...

When borock was with heritage he looked at a bunch of my books including both of these. He said that neither had restoration, and that the first should be pressed and would move up a few grades.

 

 

[Tri-Color Brian]

What is the grade right now?

[jmg3637]

Steve's quick estimate was that the 2nd copy was a 3.0 and the nicer copy was 5.5 and could press to a 6.5, but this was a few years ago.

 

I just looked at the comiclink listings, and I think my copy looks way better than the 7.0 closing later today.

I don't know what the back cover looks like, but the front cover scan of your nicer copy is stunning.
