turtleboy23 Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Cheetah, Is that from the same collection as the TOS1? Any story behind collection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheetah Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 I got nine graded including the two I've already posted. I'll try to get the rest up this evening. They are all from that same collection from the old store in Covington, Kentucky. The place closed up around 1961 and the owner kept all the comics in a box in his basement or in the store (don't know which or even if it is both). He passed away and his wife and son have kept them until she/he started to sell them off a year and a half ago. The JLA 1-3 that sold for $105k (combined) on Pedigree Comics came from the same collection. There is an incredible collection of Mad magazines that are likely the top copies available, it's just to one wants to buy them. Comic Book World in Florence, KY still has a number of graded copies left including the 9.6 TTA 16. I've got about 50 books from the collection but all are raw except the nine I just got graded. Titles include Space War, Tales of the Unknown, The Double Life of Private Strong, TTA, TOS, JIM (only one issue - #66), Konga, Gorgo, Jughead's Fantasy, Strange Worlds and probably a few other titles I've forgotten. Page quality isn't the best but there almost all the top graded copies for each issue come from that collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlasFan Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Pssst....can we see the Gorgos & Kongas you picked up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtleboy23 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I'm looking forward to see the others. I bought a couple 9.2 monster books from CBW earlier this year, so I assume they are from the same collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheetah Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 (edited) When I saw them I knew I had to either buy them or regret it for a very long time. I've NEVER regretted buying them. Edited October 14, 2009 by cheetah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Careful Cheetah, sounds like Tom is planning on a visit. As long as you give him a nice firm sofa and a stack of pre-heros, he should be content for a couple weeks...
