Remind me never to go on a Fox hunt with you  Sensational 

Maybe a certain 'Big Head' book is coming to market..

Nice Gino! Is the #2 the copy that was just on ebay? The 2 is really tough to find, I think I see 10 copies of 1 for every copy of 2.

Thanks gents and yes it was my friend!!

It's not from the Berk Collection, but it's still a nice Mile High Fox that I'm very happy to have in the vault

+1

I am so used to seeing the first issue of Big 3 that you never even think about these later issues.

Looks like this issue #6 must be quite tough to find since there's a total of only 3 copies in the census as compared to 18 copies for the first issue of Big 3.

Nice pair Gino! I saw that #2 on eBay and was really tempted to go for it, but ultimately knew you were meant to be the rightful owner. I'm not surprised you took home the ? !

I think that was part of the Sotheby's lot that sold in '94

Holy!!!! Gee wiz Mister that's a great copy. Never have seen one for sale. Wish i was buying these from 2007-2012 though with an 8.0 selling for less than $500!! No way it sells that cheap again anytime soon. Great copy of a great book man!!

Oh, I'm sorry...thanks but I did not finish. I meant this was the last issue of the Fox Giants run. I think they are pretty uncommon. There's only 1 on the registry. Curiously, the contents are slightly different from those listed in GCD. But it does have an issue of Pedro, and the GGA in the Chiquita story appears top-notch at first glance. Just settled kids; will check the book out shortly.

Quite the goal. A lot of the Fox giants are real tough. I have collected annuals and giants for many years. I probably only have just over half of them. Congrats. Such a great feeling to finish a run.

HUGE congrats!! accomplishing any set in this publishers lineup is a GREAT accomplishment!!

[gino2paulus2]

Not really a set and my apologies for posting so many pics lately but I'm just head over heels. I've been contemplating getting a shot with these two rare last issue #2's since i first ever laid eyes on em' and now i finally have the chance thanks to TWO AWESOME boardies!! Both out in early 1942. Lots of 2's in there haha!!

I want to apologize for confusing you guys....I did not complete a set of Fox Giants; I merely acquired the final issue of the run. That said, I think it's one of the toughest. There's one on the registry, and it's not in the Gerber Photo-Journal. And if you Fox guys haven't seen it before, I KNOW it's tough!
