The Bugs is easy to find in VG, but try to find a copy in Fine or better...almost impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmg3637 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmg3637 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 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 kaculler, OtherEric and AJD 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmg3637 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 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 kaculler, AJD and OtherEric 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmg3637 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmg3637 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 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 OtherEric 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try finding Dr. Bobbs!!! kaculler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaculler Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 (edited) 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.

jmg3637 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 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.
