Popular Post jmg3637 Posted December 13, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 13, 2022 I snagged a couple of bargains from 4Gem's Heritage listings 1 was an upgrade but it went for well under guide. The other was 1065 which went for less than 1/2 of the other books I was missing. It was the only one of the 4 I was missing to not way out price me. Very happy to check that one off as it gives me my first HUNDRED actually completed the 1000's and a run of 138 in a row frozentundraguy, OtherEric, kaculler and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post kaculler Posted December 14, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 14, 2022 (edited) I picked up a couple of nice early Four Colors today - #5 and #13. I'm particularly happy with #5 which is in pretty nice shape and doesn't show up very often.

Usually those Western File Copies are nicer than that; that issue lived a hard life! kaculler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmg3637 Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Wanted to publish the newest itteration of my cobmined Missing/Upgradable want list. I added a date printed which I had on earlier sections, but had not included on this refinement. Also added my name and phone number Primariy changed the sorting paramaters Included 3.5s. When I started adding upgrades about 5 years ago I think I was only up to 2.5's at that point. I kicked any book that I have above my minimum price into a separate category. Actually gave another bump to those that have double that amount. Still kept the page to six columns and 348 issues. Most of the last column are early low grade books that I have between 25-50 into.

Popular Post jmg3637 Posted December 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 18, 2022 As always I have my eye on 4Gems weekly heritage auctions this week is focusing on Johnny Mack Brown. Many are quite low, but there is still nearly 3 hours until the auction starts ( and of course the FOur colors are 400+ books in. I got several of my JMB's from BeerBohm thanks to the efforts of MMehdy I have an upgrade for the Donald 379 shown below. I have done a deeper dive into the data on my collection I have 384 issues in 3.5 or below of which only 137 are above either price point I have 681 issues between 4 and 7 of which only 225 are below price point I have 215 issues in 7.5 or better. of those 154 are above the double price point damonwad, kaculler, PopKulture and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmg3637 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Struggled with my HP all-in-one, but was eventually able to get scans of an upgrade to the 379 While it is certainly much nicer than my existing copy, does not seem to be close to the advertised grade of 6.0. I would be hard pressed to give it above a 4.0 with the spine roll as well as all of the accumulated damage on the cover OtherEric 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmg3637 Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 I stumbled on the Generations OO collection out of Flagstaff recently. Interesting story but their 40,000 pales in comparison to the 400,000 collection from the OCD father It turns out I had obtained one from MCS earlier in the year kaculler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmg3637 Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 found a copy of this along with lists of my better boxes . took and traded a bunch of books at the first torpedo show down by LAX I think. At that time I was down to only 170 books which has now dropped to closer to 60. The upgradables was not where near as refined. I am sure that in addition to filling 100+ holes I have upgraded at least that many. WHile this list is much easier to look at, updating it was very cumbersome and after I got the names attached to the issue numbers became useful HNY frozentundraguy, OtherEric and PopKulture 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmg3637 Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Just thought everybody should know that MCS is having a 5% off code word sale on Dell Comics inuding Four Colors. The code word is meatloaf. It is only good for a few more days OtherEric 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmg3637 Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Not sure if anybody else took advantage ot the 5% off sale from MCS, but I did. I Try to never actually buy Four colors, but could not resist the 110 that they had. So now I have finished my first two hundred columns. The 1000's ( with 1065) and the 100's . The only other column I am close on is the 600's where I am missing 673. The others that I picked up are 6 more of the missing Four COlors. I dont mind actually paying for those.

I couldn't figure out where to enter the code. It would have only made about $8 difference, so I ordered anyway, they should arrive next week. 16 more Looney Tunes related four colors I need.

jmg3637 Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 That was about all I saved as well, but better the money in my pocket than theirs. There is a tab called ON SALE and that is where you enter the code word. They currently have 24 of the books I am missing in stock, but I think 20 of them would be below/grade/price point and would go right from missing to upgrade. MCS seems to have the best website around for the average or advanced collector. I think it is very nice for them to scour the internet ( or at least ebay) to see if your want list books are for sale elsewhere.

OtherEric Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 And here's the start of the aforementioned MCS lot that arrived today, I'll scan more after I eat dinner. I'm sure I already have a 317 somewhere, but for the life of me I couldn't find it. This one is nicer looking anyway: kaculler, PopKulture, damonwad and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
