25 Cent Picture Frame Marvels

641 posts in this topic

Figured I bring back this thread with some recent finds at the Baltimore Comic Con.

 

Three red ones. The Li'l Kids are scarce, these two issues are not represented on the CGC census at all.

 

(worship)

Those are insanely hard to get in high grade. Harvey is also a really tough title.

C'mon. I didn't cry. I've got one just as sweet. It was more like envy, cuz I didn't have time to shop last weekend and saw you guys pulling out picture frames like they were a dime a dozen.

 

That is one tough book to find in grade.

Ok, maybe you didn't outright cry but you did turn away and wipe your eyes... then made some excuse about your allergies or something. :baiting:

We could stuff you in the trunk of my car at Meg-Con and let you out 5 minutes before the dinner.

Does anybody have a confirmed list of Picture Frame Marvels? I know the list below was a work in progress.

 

Yes, the list is finished and attached below. Anything marked with a "?" means I am either uncertain of whether it is a picturebox (because I couldn't find a cover online to verify) or it is a book that falls out of the normal date window or numerical sequence of the picturebox covers.

 

Anyhoo, here it is:

Take the War is Hell issues and the non-picture frame books (noted) off the list, and I think it's pretty well done.

Thanks. I think I have some work cut out for me. It'll be a nice challenge to put together a full set.

 

It's only as hard as the grade you're looking for. It should be relatively easy to get them in 8.0...with the exception of the really odd-ball titles...

I've never really considered it one...but I can see where you're going. Never noticed the side bar before due to the text rolling over it... hm

 

Could also be a case where Marvel didn't think the art worked well with a bottom bar...
