Don't you love it when you find a box of comics that you forgot you had?

[nearmint]

So, over the weekend, I moved the contents of our 10 x 10 storage locker into a 5 x 10 storage locker. Among a stack of boxes containing old Overstreets, Heritage catalogs, and copies of CBG, I found a box of Silver Age comics that I had completely forgotten about.

 

Years ago, I remember Brent at Quality Comix asking me if I ever subbed the raw Batman #176 that he sold me, and I told him that I must have sold it raw on the boards, because I didn't remember sending it to CGC. There's also an 80 Page Giant #15 that I had thought I'd lost. Not a key book, but I always thought it was cool that the original receipt for 25 cents from Thrifty Drug was slipped between its pages, and was dated August 15, 1965, just two weeks after I was born.

 

So here's what I found. Really fun to see them again!

I'd love it IF that ever happened .

 

Super fun though. I love those checker top books

Good looking DDs!

 

One time, I found a cheeto in the couch that was still crunchy....almost as good, right? (thumbs u

Hopefully, they are not all toasted by the warm California sun....,

No, I went through them last night and the page quality looked exactly the same as I remembered. The temperature seems to stay pretty consistent in the lockers we chose. Some of the books are sparkling white.

You lose better comics than I own.

Wow! Those 80 pg Giants are sweet!

Cool re-find.

 

I'm just about to rent a storage space the same size as yours this week or next week. Do you recall what maximum temperature they claim to keep the space at? The ones I've talked with so far locally promise no more than 80 degrees.

I think they told me the same thing, but it always feels slightly cool in there to me. Never had a problem with temperature or insect damage.

They've dropped in popularity in the last few years, but I like them, and they were a lot of fun to page through last night. Shockingly, in a few years the 80 Pagers will be 50 years old!

Very cool. If only that could happen to me. What grade is the Bats 176?

Very cool. If only that could happen to me. What grade is the Bats 176?

 

It's a strong 9.4 with an outside shot at 9.6.

Well I have been thinking about that, since you didn't know you had it, might as well sell it cheap to me. You still come out in front...

, I actually paid a lot for that one. I bought most of the 80 Pagers when prices were higher on them.

Ok, well I will let you think about.

I think I have a box of Marvel Tales #137-200 that I forgot about.
