Here is another bunch  of recently recovered  images  from the Bucket.  Fixed the naming on about 150  images so far.  Finding many duplicate images.  SOme of them are of the books I have upgraded  along the way, but most are just dups

Wow, that Drift Fence is one of the hardest books in the entire run to find. The Bugs is easy to find in VG, but try to find a copy in Fine or better...almost impossible.

I have probably upgraded  the Bugs as it is not on my upgrade.  OTOH  Drift has been on my upgrade list  since I first started  increasing the quality as well as quantity  of my collection.  That one  is still on the list.

 

I think  there are 3  of your current crop  that would be excellant additions  including the #2

LOL...that might make a good upgrade to any collection!

Probably will spend much of the day  working on my collection  and watching some Superhero  TV shows

Cant believe that photobucket  added  like a 10 digit random code at the end of the  name  for the images I recently recovered.  Like they wanted to be sure I hated them  with a kick on the way out the door

after spending much of the day on comics  I am about 1/2 done with fixing the names of the images  so I could begin to reintegrate  the 2 earliest phases of my four color collecting.

Then I will have to scour this computer  to see what I have scanned/added since I stopped uploading to the bucket account

In this batch I have a couple of my Crippen's  that I got at the Los Angeles comic convention  from Ritter.  A couple of those books  had water damage.  wow that must have been at least a decade ago

Of course I got totally  shut out in 4Gems  auctions.  I was top bidder on four  when they went live.  Managed to be around when those came up.  Threw in a couple bids,  but even my best  ended up at 1/3rd of the final hammer.

Lets close out the weekend  with a few more recovered images

I sure hope that I have replaced the Zorro  by now.  That has to be one of the ugliest comics in my collection

 

This group contains a few more  of my crippen copies

Dr. Bobbs is hard to come by, though I've seen a couple of copies on eBay recently that don't sell.  Swee'Pea and Sparkle Plenty are also difficult to find.  I almost never see copies of Hubert at Camp Moonbeam which was posted earlier.  I've got a copy of Sparkle Plenty, but don't have the other three yet.

 

Sparkle Plenty was the last issue a friend of mine purchased to finish off his Four Color Series II run.

I am sure that some of the sharp eyes  noticed that the Bambi 186  was the Non-four color reprint.  Maybe they were wanting to be kind  and not point out my error.

When I get the chance  I will post my Thank you list of trading partners  which details where I got each issue from.  That list has grown to nearly 10 full pages.

Starting this group off with the real thing  and working my way back among my earliest additions
