J-Shot Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Nice copy, great eye appeal. Love the date stamp ! Thanks Bomber. Usually I'm anti-stamps, but there was something about this stamp that I liked... i assume it was around the day it hit the news stands?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VintageComics Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 On Sale: August 8, 1961 Really nice book. Congrats! Welcome to the Club! Thank you my friend. Cool knowing the stamp was punched 1 week after hitting news stands! It's possible they hit various newsstands at different times depending on proximity to the publisher. For example, West coast copies might go on the stands later than East cost copies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I like thinking it was punched on Aug 15, 1961... Shortly after it hit stands. Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VintageComics Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I'm quite sure the books were stamped by the newsstand right before they were put up for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber-Bob Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I'm quite sure the books were stamped by the newsstand right before they were put up for sale. If my memory serves me correctly, new comics hit the newstands on Thursday during that era. Now I was buying my books at a local convenience store not a newstand. For me, new comic day was Thursday.

namisgr Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I'm quite sure the books were stamped by the newsstand right before they were put up for sale. +1 New comic book day was Wednesdays back east by the mid sixties, but I see that 8/8 and 8/15 of '61 were indeed Tuesdays.

Strangely enough my books are dated on Tuesdays as well. You're onto something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjum12 Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 They could also be distributor dates that reflect when the books went out for delivery..... one date per bundle..... and might explain why not ALL copies have them. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
