My first Centaur :banana:

 

 

Congrats - nice copy! Welcome to the insanity of collecting Centaurs - if nothing else, you'll learn patience in collecting! :insane:

 

Ain't that the truth! :P

It was really strange how I picked up this small cache of early Centaurs. I get a call from a guy with a Silver Age Marvel collection. He says they're pristine copies. I go there and they're water-damaged and dog-eared.

 

But...

 

It turns out that he's the nephew of Tony Yuknis, a rather obscure artist who worked at Centaur in the early days. He had 15 comics that were his uncle's personal copies.

 

FP 1/3

FP 1/5

FP 1/7 (3 copies - he did the cover)

FP 1/11 (2 copies)

FPS 1/3

DPS1/3 (2 copies)

LGDF 1 (3 coverless copies)

LGC 3 (2 coverless copies)

 

Of course I asked him if he had any of his uncle's personal papers, original art, etc. He said it was all tossed 20 years ago, except for these books.

 

What a weird - but totally cool - buy!

Well, on Amazing-Man I'm only missing 2 issues. The rest, I still have a long ways to go. :P

 

 

It is coming along though, little by little. (thumbs u

 

Great pickups!

 

Collecting Centaurs is about the journey, not the destination.
