Thanks guys. The GK # 1 has some NCB wear that doesn't show up in the pic. Definitely a squishing candidate if I decide to go that route.

 

I got lucky on that book. Logged on to a dealer site at just the right time and saw it listed as a new acquisition. I couldn't hit the buy button fast enough. I truly never thought I'd ever get a copy at a decent price, let alone a HG copy

Yup. You just never know.

 

I was at a small local con last year, pawing through boxes and pulled out a copy of the United Features Peanuts # 1. I almost fell over. Couldn't believe my luck and the utter randomness of it. It still blows me away that I found it, in the wild at a tiny con a couple towns away from me. Never give up hope. keep your eyes open

It's basically a paperback-sized Charlton digest. There are lots of them -- see here:

Ha! I actually used to know a guy who was a hardcore Scooby collector. His entire apartment was wall to wall Scooby stuff.

 

Does anyone have any Scooby OA? I was also thinking about CGC SS, is there anyone you could get to sign a Gold Key or Charlton Scoob comic?

Yes, about 120 interior pages of Gold Key and Charlton. If I remember correctly, I have the entire issue of Charlton 8 or 9 minus the cover. A few covers from Gold Key, one Charlton cover, and a few from the DC series. A bunch of original strips from the magazine series in the UK, two works from Ron Campbell, two from Bob Singer, the complete art from a coloring book put out in Mexico, artwork for two puzzles, the cover of a video game, a bunch of promotional art, quite a few cels and a couple hand-painted backgrounds. Probably some other stuff I'm missing but you get the idea..

How 'bout Mark Evanier, who wrote a whole bunch of 'em? I think Dan Spiegel is still alive, but probably very old, and not likely on the convention circuit...

Holy Cow Murph! Your collection is amazing! I dug through 40-80 long boxes at a warehouse in Pickering, Ontario (Guardian comics if you are interested and in the area, check it out, 550 long boxes priced at $1 each) and came up completely empty. I had to satisfy myself by picking up a vf Marvel #1
