Not really used to the new all-in-one printer I got last year, especially on slabbed books I was watching a re-run of that show recently. I don't think it would fly on network TV today. Boone's character, Paladin, lives at a hotel, and he calls the male Chinese servant "Hey Boy" and the female Chinese servant "Hey Girl." That would not be considered politically correct today.

jmg3637 Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 (edited) Whenever I won an auction from MCS I would try to expand the withsome of the missing Four colors including those recently posted. Working on my 4th comic closet. just moved all my four colors together and easily accessible. 6 Old Bill Cole Gray acid free boxes . I am still using them 30 years later. Each hold about 75 golden age books 4 long drawer boxes, each holds about 200 books 1 Magazine drawer box holding only Slabbed Four Colors. I have another Magazine box, full of the additions I am now processing. half of the space with more CGCs and the other 1/2 with nice raw books. Last time I organized to make space and easier access I starting pulling books that I knew I want to upgrade. I only got 1/2 way through the series and had already filled a short box with upgrade candidates. For some reason every scan I try to upload is now failing The post failed. Then I reload I was able to add images These were all upgrades from Kermits pad Edited July 3, 2022 by jmg3637 adding images and attribution Get Marwood & I and OtherEric 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmg3637 Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 most of the time I am pretty good about ONLY upgrading low grade copies. Occasionally I pick up A high grade copy, assuming that my copy must be lower Occasionally I have a hard time deciding on which copy to keep The first book is my existing copy, and the 2nd is a 7.5 copy from Bedrock. Which would you keep? Get Marwood & I and OtherEric 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bedrock copy has slightly more spine tics but overall is cleaner and brighter. It's going to depend on which flaws you dislike more. But I think they are very similar in terms of eye appeal.

Which would you keep? I could make a case either way. Initially, I was going to go with your copy based on the spine and that ding on the top of Bedrock’s. However, the BR copy appears brighter with a better wrap. As already suggested, I’d probably let page quality be the deciding attribute. And I go through this all the time with doubles and upgrades, and I usually keep both. I’d be happy with either copy above in my collection.

I’d be happy with either copy above in my collection. I used to buy collections and pull what I wanted and organized the rest for the occasional shows I did. This was back in the 90s. When time and opportunity presented i would go through upgrade my main collections. I rarely kept multiples intentionally but still have a ton of stuff that I have not sold or especially traded off since 2000. Only thing I ever kept both of were some marvel where i had both newsstand as well as direct boxes. Anyway here are a bunch more of my Pandemic additions to my Four Color Collection I have been focusing on getting First series as well as below 100 Treco, PopKulture, damonwad and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
