catrick339 Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share Posted July 1, 2017 Lassie 3 THERE'S our heroic collie! And an early issue to boot. Front cover is a perfectly nice ordinary Dell painted Boy And His Dog image, but check the BC as she faces off against a couple modern day pirates! I'll back off from any dog that looks like that at me, This issue has plenty of wear along the spine along with several tears, and the lower three inches are split to boot.

catrick339 Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share Posted July 1, 2017 (edited) Mister Mystery 14 Another good decoupage candidate. This copy actually displays reasonably well, with good gloss, but my oh my... About 40 percent of the back cover, nearly the lower half, is gone, Adios! All that loses you is a chunk out of two mundane 50's ads, but still....long narrow piece out of lower LH FC, the spine splits up from there to the staple, and then the big BIG tear starts, from the staple through the chest, and on through the head of the one eyed green alien Sigh...Interior is tight with a few small tears, nothing that touches the art. White pages. Decoupage away for $15! SOLD! Edited July 2, 2017 by catrick339 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toto Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 38 minutes ago, catrick339 said: It's Christmas in July! Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer Giant Annual, 1962-1963. This is the tough one I'm told, and it's only the second one I've ever gotten my hands on. Listed in Overstreet as RARE, and I might just believe them. A buddy of mine looked for 25+ years before he found a decent copy. Flat and square, with some general wear, small dogear upper RH FC, and a big one that runs from the lower LH FC all the way up to the center RH. Barely breaks color at all, but you should see it in my oversize scan. Bit of rubbing BC, and a couple puzzles inside of been neatly penciled. Cream to offwhite pages, tight spine. I want $75 for this one. Take it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Monster Times #1, January 1972 I LOVED this newspaper as a teenager and young adult, bought it whenever I could find it. Tabloid sized, and chock full of interesting stuff, it read like a cross between The Buyers Guide To Comic Fandom, RBCC, and Famous Monsters of Filmland. This one is in pretty decent shape, but has a 1" tear RH edge, see scan. It's aged remarkably well, with little or no yellowing.
