I did It was on Christmas Eve. I just put in a max bid early as i couldn't sit and watch the auction that night. Truth be told i was shocked it held up. I think if the date had not been a factor i would have paid more, or been outbid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad a good boardie won it. sagii 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad a good boardie won it. And that is of course one of the great GA books to own By comparison: There have been 52 copies in total CGC graded of LTMM #1 (48 Universal and 4 Restored) highest graded one lone 9.2 There have been 102 copies in total CGC graded of WDCS #1 (78 universal, 5 qualified and 19 restored) two 9.4 highest graded (1 universal /1 restored) Don't know how many C**S copies are out there of each, though it may seem LTMM#1 comes to market more often.

Two right now on HA for looney tunes 1. I am watching but more out of interest rather than bidding (unless prices seem low) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I passed to acquire two seldom offered books. Went back for it once those were paid off, and it was gone. Still not at what they were asking for it then, but we'll see by auction day....

Not easy to try and capture what was the sheer brilliance of the animated shorts, but the comics have their own vintage magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it’s in great shape and had nice rich colors still no fading. Love the cover too!

Like to see covers that used gags from the shorts (Dynamite). ..and Petunia , Warners' would be Minnie Mouse. She has some recent cartoon appearances and was merchandised decently enough til around the 70's i believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sagii Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Just got a decent frame for this so thought I'd post it again. The last pics may have been 'lost' anyway in the Photobucket fiasco. This maybe a Wall Banner, I don't know, but the likeness' used on it correspond with other LTMM merchandise I've seen (and own ) from around '41. It's so early in the franchises history that the name 'Looney Tunes' is not used on it only' Merrie Melodies'. And Bugs and Daffy still rising stars are presented smaller than Porky, Elmer and (gasp) Petunia and Sniffles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
