Big Thrill 0

[telerites]

It has been a while since I have posted some of my scans and hopefully this doesn't upset anyone for creating a thread.  

I had these graded a little while ago.  I had won them in card auction some time ago.  Among some the things I collect are vintage non-sport cards and sometimes there are some things offered in predominantly sports card auctions.  These are little eight page comics that measure 2 1/4" x 3" distributed by the Goudey Card Company which put both sport and non-sports cards.  This is a complete set which consists of Buck Jones, Buck Rogers, Tracy and Tailspin Tommy.

Not worth really having them graded as like most of my collection, it is pretty much eclectic junk but OCD continues to be an expensive disorder.

Very cool stuff, and at 1934 way early.  Before a lot of the big platinum age books.

Thanks for posting these little gems!  Did these come wrapped individually with a stick of gum?

Great stuff Jeff!

That they named the series "Big Thrill" 

Oh well, it's not the dimensions of the comic, but how they pack what's between the pages that counts 

Great stuff as always Jeff!

Quick look at @valiantman’s data.  I think this may be the oldest 9.8 CGC has graded.

Oldest 9.8 - hmmm... I don't think I've ever run that query.

Answer:  Yes - that 1934 booklet is the oldest CGC 9.8

For larger/normal sized comics, the oldest is Crackajack Funnies #1 (1938) and next is Star Ranger #15 (later in 1938)

Thanks Tim and Greg.  I hadn't even thought about that.  That is cool to know.
