Popular Post kaculler Posted December 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 7, 2021 This one just arrived today. 85 issues to go, though still no hundred runs completed. I need one issue for the 600s, 700s, 1000s, 1100s, and 1200s I need two issues for the 300s, 500s, 800s, and 900s I need three issues for the 400s and 1300s so it is just a matter of time.

I still need that one, unfortunately. I won a copy #60 Tiny Folks Funnies over the weekend so the number should be down to 84 soon, though that is only for Series II. I'm also collecting the first series, but didn't really start collecting those until a few years ago. I need 19 issues from Series I. My earliest issues from each series are #9 Terry and the Pirates from Series I and #3 Alley Oop from Series II. Badger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmg3637 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Here is my recently revised MISSING/UPGRADE Spreadsheet I have 9 more books coming that will bring me down to on 76 missing issues First 1.5 columns are missing (GR=0) For programing simplicity I have the First series nestled in beginning with 1371 as FS #1 Tracey Next 3.5 columns are books that can use an upgrade ( currently set at 2.5 or below) I can adjust that variable to either increase or decrease the grade for that category Last column are mostly the early books along with grades just to fill up the spreadsheet programing Due to 4GEM I also added the missing Four Colors to my quest. I think I am only missing a few of those. Always looking for trades to either fill holes or that are significant upgrades from my existing copy Tri-Color Brian and kaculler 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrooge Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Here's mine. I am mostly in need of early or late issues. I see that some but not total overlap on our needs - AJD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4GEMWORKS Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) Hi All- I have gotten a few e-mails and thought I'd put up a general reply. I decided to sell my Four Color Collection after 20 years of working to collect it. I had the full set and was short only about 40 books that I thought were worth grading. Heritage is handling teh sale and all my books are in their hands. They will be selling them over the course of the next year or so, about 20-25 per week. For those who have posted your list of missing issues, it's a;most a certainty that those books will be put up for sale. About 125 have sold so far but there are another 1200-1300 to go. Here is a link to a press release on the sale: https://bleedingcool.com/comics/the-complete-1354-issue-run-of-dells-four-color-hits-auction/ For what it's worth, the best advice I ever got in collecting was from Josh Nathanson at ComicLink about 25 years ago when ComicLink was just building steam. He said to buy the highest grade you can afford. A book bought for $20 may be hard to resell at $10. A single highest graded copy bought at $500 will rarely sell for less and usually more. I realize not everybody can afford the price of some of these higher grade books, but do yourself a favor, if you can and try to get at least one high grade book of something that you really want. You'll never regret it. My current goal; is to collect every EC comic published in the highest grade I can afford. I'm actually closer than you might think, but like Four Color I'm at the point where what I don't have is the hard stuff to find. Good luck and contact me if you have any questions. Please note I do not have any of the books in my collection as far as Four Color goes and cannot make deals outside of Heritage at this point. Good luck and happy New year!

jmg3637 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 (edited) Good luck on the sale(s) I was estimating what this massive endeavor might yield. I think the 500K in the article is actually a bit low. Trying to rescue my thousands of images from the clutches of Photobucket. I broke down and began paying the minimum of 4.99 per month. not even sure what I get for that Well it was not terribly painful to download a couple of batches This is part of my undercopies which I traded off to MYCOMICSHOP a while back. Plan on sending in another 50 or so soon Edited January 9, 2022 by jmg3637 adding images Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
