50YrsCollctngCmcs Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Why is this series always found in mid grade or lower? Any theories? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakaridis Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Why is this series always found in mid grade or lower? Any theories? I think this goes for most of the non-superhero DCs from the 50s. Probably because not many people collected them (or took very good care of them) through the decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a big fan of these (thumbs u Star Spangled is an under rated title with a great history of fantastic content. Newsboy Legion, Robin solo, Tomahawk and of course Dr. 13!!

Probably because not many people collected them (or took very good care of them) through the decades. Yeah, I would say a combination of low print runs, an obscure character from a period before modern fandom got rolling in the 1960s, and not a book that was particularly sought after in early fandom.

jimjum12 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 The CGC 6.0 copy is at 1100 dollars with 9 days to go on Clink. It's not a bad copy at all.... and is probably high grade for this title. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CongoBill Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I have all the Phantom Strangers except for #4, which I hope to procure sometime soon. Also working on a run of the Star Spangled Dr. 13 issues and (of course) Congo Bill. I love the "esoteric" DCs from the '50s! Sensation Mystery is another cool run, which I used to own but sold off about a decade ago. I'll probably try to collect those again once I finish with Phantom Stranger and Star Spangled. Regarding the Phantom Strangers, I think if you can find them in the VG/F range you're doing just fine. Very hard to find high grade copies of these books.

My one and only Congo Bill. I really like Nick Cardy, who, of course, was a stalwart of those esoteric '50's DCs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a nice-looking 4.0 with vibrant greens. Nick Cardy is one of my favorite artists. I'll have to scan some of my Legends of Daniel Boone when I have time. Maybe this weekend.

50YrsCollctngCmcs Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Hey CongoBill welcome aboard, I also appreciate obscure DC's from the fifties and Steve has some great stuff. Maybe a good idea for a new thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
