Junkdrawer Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Here is a few group shots of my Famous Funnies collection, the first 3 photos are my slabbed and registered, quite a few are "highest graded". The challenge has been just locating some issues in any grade at times. The last 3 photos are my 44 raw books I can't afford to slab just yet. Great collection of Famous Funnies JD I've always been fond of those books Thanks, it's been a most challenging thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciorac Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I gave up a couple years ago. I was just trying to get 1 - 100, but lost steam and sold most of them. I still have a few, but not many. However, a friend has them all and has promised that one day, they will be mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airwalker Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Here is my attempt of a WW run from 1 to 25. Only need two more issues, 4 & 6. One and a half years later, I finally got my run completed from 1 to 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airwalker Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 The #1 is missing the centerfold, but I have a coverless copy where I could marry the centerfold. #2 is a nice 4.5/5.0 white pages. #7 is low grade, the pages are weak. #18 is 2.5 white pages (bit low for the run). Dont have plans to get them graded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I've asked this before Gary, and you've probably told me, but what was the Tec 1 like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larryw7 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Inspired. One's taken for, so this is my parting shot. Really nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBedrock Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 what was the Tec 1 like? I'm sure the same as all of them...a pretty cool cover and the stories are so-so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moondog Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 what was the Tec 1 like? I'm sure the same as all of them...a pretty cool cover and the stories are so-so. It was the nicest copy I've ever seen slabbed or raw. My notes state: FINE. Dings at top and bottom of spine (not from handling but from the printing process); slight shadow on cover (along open edge); interior browning (normal C/OW Windy City page quality). I graded all the Windy City's very strictly. By today's standards I believe the book is a 7.5 or maybe even an 8.0. I wish I knew who owned it. There are two 6.5 copies in the census (highest graded), so it's possible that one of those is the WC, but I'd be surprised. The cover was bright and glossy and flat with no creases or problems.

Moondog Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 More original Windy Citys. Can you believe that I had all these books in my home for nearly a year - counting every page while grading each book - before the owner decided to sell them to me. I felt a connection to them that's hard to explain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you believe that I had all these books in my home for nearly a year - counting every page while grading each book - before the owner decided to sell them to me. I felt a connection to them that's hard to explain. I completely understand that connection. I sometimes get the same feeling with certain collections I've obtained. Ultimately, when they sell, it is depressing. I've been slow to list the large batch I got weekend before last, as I've grown attached to many of them But, sooner or later, maybe at Pons Con I'll make most of them available. I might sell some before then though, because, after all, I can't afford to keep them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
