Post your Golden Age Adventure/New Adventure/New Comics 7 7

My first serious GA book (purchased back when dinosaurs still walked the earth) that set me back a whopping $100... I still vividly recall handing over the C-note to the seller:

 

 

What a great hobby this is...

 

STEVE Got Larson?

I'll quadruple your money right now!

Here's Adventure Comics #38. The GCD credits Flessel with this one, although it looks kind of like O'Mealia to me.

Another awesome Adventure cover that I'd never seen before!

 

I agree that it looks like O'Mealia.

Now why couldn't I have been that smart

This issue has been posted here previously by someone else, but I thought I'd chime in with my newly-acquired copy (looks better in person - sorry for the poor scan). This has to be one of my all time favorites:

 

Congrats!! That's such a cool book, and that's probably one of the nicest copies out there. Good job!!

You know, between the Obidiah Oldbuck thread and my accidental visit to the Comics General forum (oh my freaking god, what a mess), I'm struck by the urge to simply post more scans.

 

So here's Adventure Comics #39. Like #38 above, this is another cover that GCD credits to Flessel which I believe looks more like an O'Mealia:

Thank you! Surprisingly it's the highest-graded Unrestored copy to date. Also surprisingly, if you look at the CGC census, more Restored copies have been graded than Unrestored ones! There's got to be a better Unrestored copy out there that just hasn't been graded yet.()

 

BTW - sweet copy of #39. How much do you want for it?

This thread rocks.

[JJBEE2001]

 

Agreed!

Yep, both are total nightmares.

That book is really a stunner in-hand. I think it looks like O'Mealia, especially when you look at the Natives' faces. The dude being burned at the stake looks more like Flessel though.

Just purchased this book. A very sharp unrestored New Adventure #26. I have heard that this is a rare book.

Is it going up on your site or is it for your personal collection?

[RareHighGrade]

Centaurman, that is a stunning #39, which is one of my favorite covers. What is the background on it? Is it a pedigree? Is it restored? Where did you get it? Inquiring minds want to know.

Wonder where you got that.

You and I should sit down sometime Stephen so I can educate you on things. There is just so much you need to learn!

 

BTW, it is not very rare. Indeed, it is a cheap book and I know of at least 100 copies so why don't you sell it to me.

[JJBEE2001]

That's what you said to me too! Admit it, your goal is (comic) world domination.

[markseifert]

Wow, nice copy. First the Heritage copy and now this. I guess the publicity is starting to bring these to market (or is this a previously-known copy?).

 

[RareHighGrade]

My guess is that is the same copy that DTA once tried to sell Ian Levine for 10x Guide (very nice copy btw).

That's one big bird

[Scrooge]

That's one big bird

 

the indian comes from the Land of the Pygmy Indians.

[metropoliscomics]

It is a different copy. I believe that Dave Alexander was asking $14,000 for a VG/F.
