Silver Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 I hate to dissapoint, but I never collected Stanley and His Monster other than the small series after Fox and Crow was changed, and I sold those a long time ago. The Sugar and Spike thing was something I always wanted to do, but just didn't get around to. Now that I mostly just upgrade other books, it's one of the two main series I am filling out, the other being Brave and the Bold.

Silver Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 Only a few more Don and Maggie's left to show: as you can tell, Valentine's Day was a popular theme on the covers. FoggyNelson and 1950's war comics 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 Here is the Savannah 55 scanned raw. It isn't as glossy as some of the other issues I have. However, high grade issues aren't easy to come by so I grabbed it when I saw it. The Don and Maggie copy looks better, but I don't usually upgrade 9.2's. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 Another Don and Maggie issue, very close to completing the bronze age portion of the run: FoggyNelson and 1950's war comics 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks nicer than the CGC cased scan on Heritage. Had a note a is box waitng for me to collect from the Post Office so as it has been nice today I walked down for it. Turned out to be from Heritage...Sugar and Spike #55 Don & Maggie copy. I will post my own scan of it here later this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! I am at 45/98 or 46%. I am thinking I may make the 50% mark this summer, a goal I did not anticipate would happen. 1950's war comics and FoggyNelson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 Picked this one up raw. I think I will get it slabbed, if it makes 7.0 I will add it to the registry. I don't think it would be a easy one to find in nicer shape. One of the covers I really like from the timeframe: FoggyNelson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 Always like Christmas covers. There is a 9.6 (Savannah) on the census and this 8.5, that's all: 1950's war comics and FoggyNelson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 Might be awhile before I have any, I ended up with 15 Don and Maggie issues. Total is now 48/98. Love this red wedding cover issue: 1950's war comics and FoggyNelson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Posted June 22, 2014 Author Share Posted June 22, 2014 Always like Christmas covers. There is a 9.6 (Savannah) on the census and this 8.5, that's all: I cracked this book out of the slab and was looking through it and saw this ad: I have a quite a few DC's from this month and have never seen this house ad before. Of course I am also a Rudolph collector so I think it's pretty cool. 1950's war comics and FoggyNelson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beige Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Silver - congrats again on more pick ups - nearly half way! How is your hunt for #1 - #10 coming on, and which issue do you think will give you the most difficulty finding in the grade and presentation you want? Got a list of the issues you need so people can keep an eye out for you? Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a list of the issues you need so people can keep an eye out for you? Good Luck! Thanks! I have no real hope that I will complete a full run in nice shape, but I do expect to continue adding books. As far as which ones I still need, I have posted everything I have in this thread. 1-37 will undoubtedly be the tougher books to find. The banner in my sig has my registry set, which is current for all but 4 raw books, which I swill slab and add to the set later this year. While Sugar and Spike is certainly ambitious, you should look at some other registry sets, there are some unreal complete or near complete runs that other collectors have. Turok Dinosaur Hunter comes to mind. 1950's war comics and FoggyNelson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
