Scrooge Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Down one more. This one is emblematic of the disease of collecting. Since it reprints comic strip material that I have available across multiple hardcover collections of Captain Easy and Wash Tubbs, I really do not need it for its content. Same with the D_ick Tracy issues, etc. *sigh*. That said, happy to have it as this is my first Dell with the cool logo on the cover kaculler, OtherEric and AJD 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean about double dipping (or worse) on the material. I picked up two more issues today, bringing the total I need (for series II) down to 68 issues.

Popular Post kaculler Posted May 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 25, 2022 Four Color #1164 arrived today bringing the total I need for Series II down to 67 issues. It also completes the 1100s and makes the longest unbroken string from 860-1296 with only 1297 and 1304 remaining from the higher numbers. I only need six issues after #320.

AJD Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 It's great watching you guys collect this varied and very large run. Having been pretty much priced out of American comics, I'm tossing up on whether to have a run at the nearest Australian equivalent - the G series (G for Giant - though only the first half dozen issues were more than 32 pages) published by W. G. Publications from 1952. Unlike the Four Color series, it only had the Disney titles because other publishers had the rights to Warner Bros, MGM, Prince Valiant, Twilight Zone etc. Many of the film adaptations appeared in the FP (Film Preview) series rather than G. Another difference is that Uncle Scrooge never broke out into his own series here, so they are all in the G run. Overall there are still 699 G books to collect and the early ones are seriously tough to come by in any grade, due to a combination of small print runs and newsprint covers. I have 144 of the books to date, and I'm starting to better appreciate the effort required to collect over 1300! I thought I'd show you a few (corresponding FC numbers in brackets). One-shot (413/699) G123 (933) G100 (840) G103 (767) Scrooge and kaculler 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmg3637 Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I just got a shipment in from Heritage with my assortment of wins since about the beginning of the year. Most of them are the 4GEMs that I was able to snag. Have not seen any offerings from him in a few weeks. Wonder if he is done selling off all of them, or if they are taking a break. Most excited to see, and check off the last key book in the run. Series 1 Issue 1 Tracy. This is an issue that I almost never see anywhere and they had 2 copies opening at the same time An Unrestored 2.5 and an Extensive restored 5.0 which closed much earlier. I put in a semi strong bid for the 5.0 fully expecting to be out bid, To my surprise no one bid live and I won that copy. The Unrestored later closed for only 100 more. Not sure which was a better value. AJD and kaculler 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
