I don't know if I've ever posted in here before, I don't have many Fox books. But I just got one today, so might as well share it:

Not a Fox book, you say? But it is, as the first page shows:

The interesting thing is what the interior ISN'T... which is Dorothy Lamour 2 or 3, or even Jungle Lil 1. It's clearly an issue of the Fox series, but it wasn't actually ever published by Fox. Nobody's quite sure if all copies were remaindered without being released, or if whoever had the Red Circle covers got plates to an issue somehow.

Just a bloody impossible book. Nabbed this one last year. Tied for top census, with a smidge better PQ.

Any back history on this you could share?

I thought that name rung a bell.

 

Atlantic City was a high grade collection found a few years ago by Metro which featured several HG copies of the early Action books. I remember they put them up for auction on their CC website and got some really nice prices for some of these books.

 

For example, I still remember HG copies of Action 10 going for over a quarter million dollars and Action 13 for almost $200K, when these books were still guiding for around only $65K and $30K respectively.

 

Never mind, just found the following Google link to the collection:

Probably because the collection was too small and did not have enough of the numero uno keys which a similar small pedigree like the Allentown Collection had. Still, the nicest copies of Action 10 and Action 13, probably amongst others, to come to market after all these years. :cloud9:

 

Personally, I thought it should have been been given a pedigree designation, but then what do I know. (shrug)
