Harvey Dude Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 adamstrange, Your Police #25 has excellent aesthetics as well as a cover I seldom see. Is that a pedigree book? How do you think it would grade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you think it would grade? Yeah, I am curious too. Police Comics #25 is not the most common issue, I have seen on the market. Census only reports 4 graded issues, 1 restored, 2 9.0 and 1 6.0. You should get this one slabbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you think it would grade? It's the Mile High copy and it is quite nice. You can't really tell that from the scan because it was done a few years back and, since, I wanted it for to use as wallpaper on my PC, I trimmed the image ( it might be easier next time if I just trim the comic. Anyone got a Jason's number?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you think it would grade? That is a great cover - as much as I like Cole, I find many of his covers, especially on Police, to be somewhat lackluster - #25 is a definite exception!

I think he must have been getting editorial direction to keep his covers tame, because his stories are anything but. Police 25 and Plas 1 are hands down my favorite Cole covers. Silver Streak 6 is as good except for the big text box that blocks much to much of the image. The original art to that would be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want the best protection, I can provide for special issues or pedigrees. I am getting a Mile High Captain Marvel Adventures ready for slabbing.

Best wishes to you, but I am more comfortable with the protection provided by how I bag and board than with the CGC slabs. And that is entirely separate from the risk of loss or damage in the mail, or in handling by someone other than me. Or the fact that slabbing would cost me so much as to put a moratorium on comic purchases for several years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timulty Posted December 17, 2005 Author Share Posted December 17, 2005 Ah, so there is the rub. The cost, I can understand that. Personally, I do weigh the cost of slabbing versus regular storage methods. Well, if you ever get bored and want to sell that 25 let me know. I will even keep raw, in respect to your wishes.

Timulty Posted May 9, 2006 Author Share Posted May 9, 2006 Start from page 1 and read from to page 5. Jack Cole, the artist responsible for Plastic Man and did some serious good work on Supersnipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was employed by Fawcett even before the Capt Marvel years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
