Sub-Mariner #1 owner of multiple copies?

[Harvey Dude]

I am not a handwriting expert but do the two Sub-Mariner #1 books appear to have had the same owner?

 

”Eldon” is written on both covers but in different locations. The handwriting certainly looks the same to me. What do you think?

 

Eldon(s) sure did take care of the books as they are both nice copies.

one is an all winners the other is a submariner they are both nice and were probably owned by the same person

[Harvey Dude]

You are correct. Thanks for the clarification on the title. They are both indeed very nice copies. Love to know the story behind Eldon's collection. Have you seen any of his other books out there?

Yup. Here's one from my collection:

The Cap #1 also has an "Eldon" designation

If anyone is collecting "Eldon" books Metro has an Eldon Detective #90 on their site for $625. Graded 8.0 unrestored with OW/W pages, uncertified.

 

I love these types of "stealth" pedigrees.

I have two "Eldon" books in my collection. I figured there must be others out there, but I never saw any before this thread. Thanks for posting the pics, everyone!

 

Does anyone have any more information about who "Eldon" is? The only information I can add is that the two books pictured below were both purchased by me from Fat Jack's Comicrypt in Philadelphia circa 1990.

I know we've discussed eldon books and also Ace books before.I have a lot of books with ACE on the covers. Ace is a nickname and eldon may be a last name instead of a first name. It could also be the name of a city,though I doubt it. The odds of ever finding out is slim I think. Was it an original owner? A collector in the 50's or 60's? Did he fight in WWII, who knows, it's one of those bittersweet comic book mysteries for me. I often wonder how many kids read these books before me and what they meant to them. Where are they now, how did their lives turn out, did they have the same dreams I had when I was a kid reading comics? Also, the big question for me is... Why the hell did you scribble on this rare investment!!!!!!!!!
