coincidentally, after i culled through my SA Wonder Woman's, i came up with 13 that look to be in the best shape (same number as the previously posted Mystery in space).

 

while i have just about every issue from 100-150, these are the nicest and will find themselves on their way to CGC soon.

 

i still find these books to be silly, after all these years. but, they are HG SA WW's afterall, and the artwork is nice and the colors are often brilliant.........As usual, every one purchased by me off the shelf at Sids Luncheonette in Orange, NJ. circa 1962-64.

 

i didn't punch them up past 100DPI and they are still in their mylars, but you should be able to get the idea.......

 

hope you like them joanna......... grin.gif

That "drip drip drip" sound you're hearing is Joanna's drool hitting her keyboard.

 

#143 looks like a 9.6 candidate. 893whatthe.gif

 

Sweet books, Harry! 893applaud-thumb.gif Your collection kills me.

 

Which reminds me. Zeman started a thread about what we'd do with our comics if we died. Well if I die, I'm leaving my books to you because I know that in 40 years, they'll still be in good shape. 27_laughing.gif

That #143 is a very nice cover, but what's going on with the bottom edge? My eyes are playing tricks on me. 893frustrated.gif

 

The book is still in the mylar. gossip.gif It's light glinting off the mylar sleeve.

i see what you mean - that is an interesting affect, but the lower edge is razor straight............

agree that it's a slight rippling in the maylar sleeve causing the illusion of waviness. if this comes back a 9.6, it will be my first of the original purchases. i have a handful (subby #1, Cap #100, ASM #300) that were later purchases, but that ain't the same as saving one for 40+ years. i'm gonna submit at least 90 SA DC's and maybe as many as 120. would be nice to get one 9.6 back cloud9.gif

I think you have a legitimate shot based on the front cover scan. Hopefully the back cover looks the same. Gorgeous! cloud9.gif

By the way -- ditto for 139 and 140. They look to be 9.4s at LEAST.

thanks for the encouraging words on those 3 issues thumbsup2.gif

 

i'm hoping that most of them pull at least a 9.0.

 

i still find it surprising how little interest vintage HG DC's seem to generate. maybe everyone's still at work or maybe no one can bear to look at those "Wonder Family" covers with their "Impossible" stories........oh well, i'm sure Johanna will appreciate them when she has time to view them...........

my very few actions are old and low/mid grade. i do have about 10 adventures in sequence from around 1963-64 that are in 7.5 to 9.0 range. i'll post them in a couple of weeks.......... grin.gif

Just offer to sell some of these and you'll probably see a quick increase in interest!
