Yeah I mean if I see a Strange Adventures issue I can’t pass up, I’ll probably still get it haha OtherEric 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 20 (not all in top condition) of the 43 Australian issues. The price increased to 1/- (1 shilling) from #23. My quest continues! I have added more images here Amazing. Am I correct to assume that Australian Ebay wasn't/isn't enough to get hem, correct? My previous experience looking there showed it would be substantially easier to complete the US run...

frozentundraguy Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 I just noticed recently that High Grade comics has issue #18 in CGC 7.0 for $250. Seems reasonable compared to the price for a 9.4 ($1400) seen on Comic Connect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My previous experience looking there showed it would be substantially easier to complete the US run... I mainly use the Australian eBay for the Australian versions of Strange Adventures. But they are very RARE and being old 1950's newsprint, it is hard to get good copies. I also use the US eBay site as some do turn up in the US. I am not collecting the US versions, only the HTF Australian reprint copies. OtherEric and Pizza Boy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably why it’s been sitting on eBay and Comicconnect for what seems like forever. But I agree, the 7.0 is a solid deal.

Popular Post zzutak Posted February 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2023 Here's a new #2-census StrAdv #25 and a new top-census StrAdv #77 that just returned home from a brief vacation in Sarasota. Each book is only a minor upgrade to my long-held copies, but it's always a kick to discover a "new" high-ranking specimen in the wild. grendelbo, OtherEric, BEAUMONTS and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where the hell did you come across that beauty? To the extent it wouldn’t already be graded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post zzutak Posted February 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2023 (edited) The person who sold me the StrAdv #77 didn't realize it was the White Mountain copy. It's not that unusual -- the StrAdv #19 I had certified last year was also sold to me (via eBaay) as an ordinary/non-pedigreed raw copy. There are literally scores of "lost" pedigrees out there waiting to be discovered.

OtherEric Posted February 23, 2023 Author Share Posted February 23, 2023 I wish I had more pedigree Strange Adventures... Although I should be glad I've got one, at least. John G.
