N e r V Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) So I would like input on two things here if you please. 1 List any magazines that CGC lists as classic covers on their labels. 2 List a book that is not just a favorite of yours but one you feel strongly that there are enough collectors out there that agree with you to call it a classic cover. So I’ll start with 2 that CGC currently lists as classic covers and 1 (Vampi) that I believe deserves it. I’m not limiting these to Warren magazines either. It’s all magazine covers are welcome. Picks anyone? Edited June 4, 2019 by N e r V SAKI 1
wombat Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 I never even noticed that on the labels. If Vampi one isn't on that list the list is not very good.

PopKulture Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 (edited) Do they need to be by Frazetta only?? How about an appropriately chilling and dubious MOY cover from 1943: Edited June 4, 2019 by PopKulture
PopKulture Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 (edited) And I think the "classic" button would be broken if they ever tried to do the "sweats" or men's adventure magazines: Edited June 4, 2019 by PopKulture

But I’m not the magazine master like some of you. Wouldn’t #18 be in the classic cover status? Seems to get reproduced a lot and sold quickly when available. The Lions Den, SAKI and oakman29 3

N e r V Posted June 4, 2019 Author Posted June 4, 2019 I think that might be the most reproduced Eerie Pubs. cover out there and maybe the most in demand based on how quickly they sell. bounty_coder and SAKI 2
bounty_coder Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 I think that Terror Tales Issue #2 (V1 #8) gives over 95% of Pre-Code Horror books a hard run for their money. And really needs to be understood by the greater comic community for this "historical significance". Meatgrinder is right up there as well. @SAKI great copy! Glad that you were able to scoop one up.

bounty_coder Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 I never realized that Creepy #15 was labeled as a "Classic". A bit floored that it has that designation above others. SAKI 1

A bit floored that it has that designation above others. I’m not. It’s a pretty heavily reproduced Frazetta piece for a while now. There’s a lot of classic covers on comics that don’t do much for me but I have to acknowledge their status just by how many times I see them reproduced in things over and over again. The internet also has helped create a lot of the newer ones today. Creepy #15 is probably one of the more old school classic covers. I saw it here first since Creepy #15 was well before my time.
