Original Owner 1951-1952 Horror Up for Auction starting tonight

[ivegotneatstuff]

So..last week my friend goes to an estate sale... and sees a pile of comics, makes an offer and picks them up.

 

He sells them to another mutual friend of ours..who in turn gives them to me to process for pressing/grading..and eventual selling..

 

Anyway, I'm looking at about 30 mostly horror comics - all from 1951 to 1952. They are clearly original owner from what I'm seeing..date stamps are similar.. and I put them up here for your appreciation (I'm taking great pleasure in checking these out! ..the cover colors are really bright..some pages look pretty white to me) They are not for sale right now.. but I will make a post on this thread when they do go up for auction.

 

It's cool to see there are still undiscovered original owner collections out there..albeit small... it gives me renewed hope!

I'm pretty sure that would be the highest graded copy of G.I. Joe #11 if i sent it.. the question is..would anybody care?

[comicjack]

Nice find most of those look in the fine to fine plus maybe some very fine look great haul!

Well, that's in fact issue # 2 (as you probably, there is another issue # 11 and that's the one I need, I have a copy of this one) so there might be interest ... but, yeah, not really. I typically do not run into much competition for any issue in the run unless it's from circa 1954 (yours is 1951) when the covers start showcasing damsels in distress. So, my guess, those looking for a copy probably already have one.

 

Here's my copy of # 9 -

 

 

Very nice group of books btw.

Yup some nice selection. Nothing stirs the collecting juices like these old comic stash finds.

Very cool the thrill of the Hunt is sometimes more fun then having the books!

Nice grab there!

 

Yes there are still orginal owners out there, just keep looking!

Killer find, I am jealous.

[ivegotneatstuff]

OK Here's the last of them... Love the Venus and first copy of Forbidden Worlds and the only issue of The Dead Who Walk

 

[ivegotneatstuff]

I just am noticing the letter "B" written on the cover of many of these...sometimes followed by a number..

 

Does anyone ever remember seeing this on other comics ??

[Scrooge]

on the Venus!

[ivegotneatstuff]

Looks like these are going on eBay tonight raw! I'm going to put them on the sales thread...just a heads up to all you admirers

 

or is there a way to just transfer this thread over to the eBay section?

[Scrooge]

Best way for you to do this is to start a thread in the Sales Announcement Area and provide a link to this thread here in the GA. :thumbsup:
