I am jealous of all y’all’s.

…and this is my good one!

My FF Annual #1 is a 3.0 restored (ct) ... and I couldn't be happier.

My “good one” (maybe G-) but I’ve owned it for nearly 50 years so it’s perfect to me.

Those are the best kind.

Ok, so I took quite a risk in purchasing some raw books from someone in Peru, with little more than pics of front & back cover and a shot of the indicia of each book. The description was simply: "It's like the pictures" which isn't exactly as helpful as it COULD be, but these books aren't easy to find, so I rolled the dice. They arrived yesterday and all are complete (no page count given or any reference to completeness mentioned), so there was at least some relief there. This one has some glue at the inside front cover and splash page, gluing them together a bit, but once again, I wanted the books, so ya take what ya get. Overall, I'm just happy to have them. Yes, I know ... I'm such a geek.

This one, like the #3, has glue at the inside front cover but sadly, also has it at the inside back cover. No handy issue number sticker on this one's front cover, but we all know which issue it is. While the #3, with bid price, shipping and tax came in a little below a hundred, this #4 shot up quite a bit higher, costing about $350 with shipping and tax. We all know how crazy this issue is right now, so I'm still feeling pretty fortunate to snag this one for my La Prensa run.

And the last comic I was able to win was the #13. Thankfully, this issue has none of the glue that the other two have! It was almost the exact same price as the #3 (although all 3 shipped together, no discounted shipping). Handy issue number sticker on front, in case I get confused. All in all, a fun stack!

Naturally. 4 is the best early issue!

All in color too! Thought the interiors might be black and white.

Yup, in color and still with different house ads. Very much like a cousin from south of the border.

Thanks! I realize that they aren't everyone's cup of tea but I'm glad that several of my fellow boardies like them too!!

Just bought these today from my file LCS on consignment

Here are the first round of results from this group. Issues #28, #67, and Annuals 1 & 2 are in another group yet to come.

[AJLewandoski]

Two nice books in from ebay the 33 is rough but too cheap to not add to the collection and the 36 is super vibrant in hand.
