Those Fantastic Fears are freakin' awesome! Hard to find even in low grade. You must have a secret source.

A positive quality in a collector evidently! (One I suspect I share...)

You know, it's really not fair that you have all those sweet Timelys AND all this killer PCH. As a collector truly interested in preserving the hobby, I demand that you disperse your PCH collection... for the good of the hobby, you know.

Well hell, Steve. That book is just insane!

Funny, that's what my eyes look like looking at it - all bloodshot, popping out and kinda teary.

Sartre, I have wondered for years who had the MM 12 (Beth). That copy and several other Bethlehems were mine. Sold them raw around 1998 to Metro.

Your incredible postings reminded me of the auctions that occured 10-13 years ago preceding Heritage, Clink and ComicConnect. For those of you that are somewhat novices to PCH collecting, Greg Manning Auctions out of West Caldwell, NJ, had several auctions from 1999 to 2001 that featured many of the newly discovered Spokane and River City horror collections. This one catalog from Feb.24. 2001, that I am showing, had page after page of PCH from those collections. I am showing barely half of this catalog's offerings of this genre.

 

Feast you eyes and have a kerchef handy to wipe the drool.

I remember being at that sale... If I remember correctly thats when PCH peaked. It was either that sale or one after that prices just went crazy... Topping silver and golden age. A few years later the market settled then dropped, and now its picked up again but not like it was.

I attended one in April 2000. Half the issues were not slabbed at that time. Not only PCH, but pedigree copies of silver DC mystery and sci-fi titles galore. I just did not have enough funds to get a fraction of what I wanted.

Looking through some of the other catalogs, I saw a few copies that I sold off back in 1997-1998.

 

 

 

When I saw the Capt. Science # 2, I knew I had seen this book before from a Greg Manning auction. Looks like it was reslabbed at some point.

In 2003, ComicCollectors.net came out with this very nice quality catalog just full of PCH books from several pedigree collections. These are just a sampling of the goodies from this catalog.
