Post the Nicest book(s) you own nobody else care?

Book consists of all puzzles and games as I recall. I bought it back in 1986 and kept it raw for more than 20 years. It's the second-highest graded copy with terrific PQ. My wife wanted me to slab it as it's her favorite book in my collection and she wanted to protect the book from damage. It's such a super-cool book!!

 

First one I can ever recall seeing. Great book.

 

The consensus on this book is building. It's a very neat book even if it doesn't have any comic stories. Just for fun I googled "1956 Davy Crockett Craze", and found there is/was a site "Davy Crockett Craze Home Page". It is currently a mirrored site kept "alive" by Geo Cities Archive. But I digress, what a fantastic book with the Crockett face clock cover.

I know this probably carries over into Bronze, but this is the only graded copy.

 

 

Man, I'd go for either of those two in a big way!

Loved this irregularly published series as a kid. Happy to pick up this copy cheap. Seller didn't note that it was the Bethlehem copy.

not the best protection in a war zone

but better then a beret (thumbs u

And a cheap priced pedigree what all collectors love to be surprised with

Puzzling that the seller didn't notice or couldn't be bothered to mention it in the listing. It was just possible to make it out on the photo he posted.

 

Also picked up this from him. Tarzan is another series that doesn't get much love these days.

seller was thinking price wise no different pedigree or not.

Most my pedigrees were bought off dealers and their prices were the same as a non pedigree. so I buy the pedigree

 

Nice Tarzan photo cover , and a high grade too (thumbs u

low grade photo covers I think are the worse

Or a red little league batting helmet!

Great score! I've admired the painted covers to that run ever since I was a kid.

Many Gold Key painted covers have a similar style to that of book covers of the same period, especially paperbacks.

Gorgeous copies!

Truly a niche character/interest.

That's interesting.

 

Judging from the spine, it looks like a British hardcover annual.
