Popular Post Mmehdy Posted July 24, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2023 (edited) Great EC panel on Sat. Lots of images of private commissions by Johnny Craig.. EC fandom is alive and well. More books coming on EC!!!!! There is a "Flegal" book coming collecting all the non-EC stories that is gonna knock everyone's socks off.... Williamson and gang.... By the way without Hollywood the comic con was just fine, one thing I noticed the floor was much more crowded. I also attended the FrankFrazetta panel...and there is a major documentary being made while we speak. They previewed the first 5 Mins, it has been in the works since 2019...fantastic. This years SDCC a knockout Edited July 24, 2023 by Mmehdy Larryw7, Point Five, KirbyJack and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmehdy Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 (edited) The holly grail of EC comic book collecting the very rare "Tales of Terror Ann #1 "is up for bid today on CC. As most of you are aware this is a fresh copy to the collectors market. It is stunning...to say the least. There are 31 copies on the census and only 5 are rated higher and I know of one ungraded copy which I have held in my hands many times. BUT the deep color on this copy is fantastic. I have seen over the years 3 graded as well and nothing touches this copy by a mile. It is graded 5.0 unrestored but for color depth I give it a 9.0. This is probably the last original owner collection copy to come out. check out out the short video...this is a once in a lifetime book!!!!! I saw it in person at SDCC in the CC glass showcase, it is the real deal!!!!!! PS: When I saw the book, I placed a value of 50K Min...I think it will go for less at this auction, but whoever gets it...just wow Edited July 31, 2023 by Mmehdy jimjum12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering how harshly CGC grades books with split spines, I’m wondering how it received a 5.0. I’ve had otherwise great looking books with spine splits generally get 3.5’s or 4.0’s.

Mmehdy Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Major movements on the impossible Tales of Terror ANN #1 currently at auction on CC. With 21 days to go current bid is $14,277... still a fraction of value but up quite a bit from the low initial bid. I hope someone here gets the WIN on this....deepest color copy I have ever seen in my 50+ years of collecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
