Bronty Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Too bad the mile high ducks were likely destroyed It's really interesting that that's the current story, because when I was in Colorado, I had heard they all went to one collector to help finance the deal. I wonder if there's any truth to that and the owner and Chuck have a pact of silence. Conspiracy theory. Hmm... interesting.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tth2 Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 I just got this back from CGC. I bought it raw from Metropolis as a 9.4. Nice book, Steve, and a pretty bright and clean cover for that particular issue. The yellows I've seen in a lot of the copies of that issue, including a 9.4 copy I used to own, just always looked like they'd been smudged with dirt.

worldsbestcomics Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Here's a new one that I picked up on the recent ComicLink auction. I don't usually buy books with Cr/OW pages [in fact this is my only one] but I got it for half of what it would sell for with OW pages. Sorry for the scanner glare across the middle of the book, it is reflecting off a small wave on the inner well of the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tth2 Posted January 27, 2007 Author Share Posted January 27, 2007 Nice pick up, Steve. Don't worry about the C-OW pages, because if it's in an old label, it'll probably get recognized as OW by better by CGC if it were resubbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worldsbestcomics Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I repatriated this book from Hong Kong during the last Heritage Auction. The white spots are from my scanner. Sorry about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worldsbestcomics Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Thanks, Tim! Now if I can just find a way to get the Four Color 178... But, in the meantime, here's a recent addition and overdue bump to this thread. Not GA, or even SA, but a one-and-only highest census copy.

Bronty Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Nice. I almost prefer some of those gold keys/ whitmans to the originals for reading copies. The one thing I don't like about the original dells is that the color registration is often way off which is never a problem on these later books.. congrats!

Bronty Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 didn't mean it like that but point well taken! Just meant to say that a some people pooh pooh the whitman/GK barks reprints but they have their own charms! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just meant to say that a some people pooh pooh the whitman/GK barks reprints but they have their own charms! How does the coloring compare to the originals? Did they re-color them or use the original guides? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronty Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 I haven't paid attention to whether or not they were recolored, I just find that the sloppy registration on the originals takes away from the art a bit. I.e. the color bleeds over barks' lines, etc. much more so than on the reprints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ft88 Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I was pretty happy with the results of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
