Park Avenue Collection?

 

High falutin name, but I think everyone really knows it as the "Marty Mann Collection" based on your thread in the GA Forum. After all, its your stories and recollections which make it special.

Thanks for all the PMs guys! There are fantastic boardies on here who have great insight into this hobby. Please keep them coming.

 

BTW- anyone know anything about the Kubert Collection?

The books came from the personal collection of Joe Kubert. Mostly books he worked on during SA/BA.

 

Thanks adamstrange! Don't know why I just didn't think to ask you this question directly...

Any idea as to the size of Kubert's collection?

 

A couple of my late 12¢ and a number of early 15¢ OAAWs are from the Joe Kubert collection. There was a comic book store owner out of a state in the South (the town "Jimenez" stands out in my memory. . .and he pronounced it GYM-in-ezz) who was fielding the collection for Kubert. I don't recall the whole story, but Kubert wound up selling a bunch of his comics en masse to this fellow. I bought as much as I could afford, and bought them for around guide which was cheap back then. Some really nice copies. There were multiple copies of many issues in the run. At one time, I had 3 or 4 really nice copies of OAAW 242. The one remaining copy is a Kubert copy. They all came with a certificate. I think the fellow wound up getting into some financial troubles because he purchased the collection and didn't recoup his costs.

The Hollywood Hills collection only covered comics published between 1965 and '68, but it was filled with gorgeous unread examples, most of which had a touch of distributor overspray on the top edge:

Sounds as though the comic store owner must have overpaid Kubert by a lot for the books if he was unable to recoup his costs to the point that he ended up in financial troubles.

 

Either that or the market must have taken a dive on him after he had purchased the collection from Kubert.

If my memory serves me correctly, I remember seeing books from this collection showing up for sale on Pedigree Comics about 10 years ago.

Sounds like it was a pretty big collection. Thanks for sharing this (thumbs u

Non-ped collections named & marketed by dealers who acquired them... if you keep digging I think you'll find a lot more.

 

Here's a couple I have come across in the past few years:

 

"Wytheville" marketed by Kermit's Pad about 3 yrs ago

 

Example:

 

 

"Lara Fuller" which came out of southern California in 2013. There was a nice Showcase 4 IIRC. I also have a Superboy 68 and Strange Adventures 205 from that collection

 

 

 

Tongie Farm cert for those interested

 

 

This one I bought as a "Brooklyn file copy" 15 years ago. I don't know anything about it but I'd like to know more

Is it really necessary for a certificate to say that "She stopped buying new comics upon her death"?

Good point!

 

Think it means she purchased new comics up until her death

Tremont bag c. 2006

You never know. Some collectors are pretty fanatical.

It would be interesting to know how many of these collections are still owned by the

original owners.

Probably none, at least owned in total. These collections are known to the collecting community because all or parts of them have come to market.

The Southern California Comic/Lara Fuller collection is definitely no longer owned by the OO.
