BOOT Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Went looking at an estate for Four Colors on Saturday, found only a few but lucked into a spinner rack. Been wanting one for a while but didn't run into one. It's now home and stocked up with Four Colors. That thing holds almost four full short boxes of comics Then, I took a composite shot of all 5 sides (thumbs u Good grief! Those pictures deserve a thread of their own!

Scrooge Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 My only recent pick-up - # 72 - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmg3637 Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Unfortunatley I have to re-edit all of them. I did not oversee enough and the images were about 6 times as large as I normally make them and she missnamed all of the Four Colors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrooge Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Two fantastic books guys. Picked up 2 at a local con. I was happy to get a low grade low price copy of that Davy Crockett, great color on the cover design ... but less happy once I opened the book to uncover the crappy Jesse Marsh art. :sick: The other one is another fun one. The movie was Russian made I believe and must have been distributed in the U.S. thereafter. I like the cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingDonut Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I'm too lazy to search. Four Color 29, "Mummy's Ring" by Carl Barks (btw, on eBay now...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Love that FC 29. It looks beat up and belongs in an Egyptian tomb but I'll take it. This first old comic that I purchased in the eighties was FC 296. It was cut up so it could do this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This first old comic that I purchased in the eighties was FC 296. It was cut up so it could do this: Hey, that works even better than the original intention! Would love to see you do that with the other Disney Four Color animated covers. Did you use Flash to create that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJD Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Just got in the last pogo I need to complete the run FC 105 & 148 + Pogo 1-16 Now to get the harder to find and more expensive Animal Comics... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

50YrsCollctngCmcs Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Way to go on the Pogos, those Animal Comics are hard to come by in general. I can usually count on one hand the number you might find at a show worth looking at. You also need to pick up the Simon and Schuster reprints of the strips in softbound paperback. Those are worth pursuing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmg3637 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 not sure how many of you have seen this listing. 1241 of the series is quite an acomplishment, but 25,000 is quite a high price since most of them are only vg http://cgi.ebay.com/Four-Color-Comic-collection-92-complete-1241-books-JB_W0QQitemZ230410027590QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item35a5820246 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrooge Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Had not seen it. Good old Jef. The scans in the auction listings could not be any more random instead of showing the "key" books in the set. $25,000 is waaaay too much for that set. Also, his math is off. $25,000 is more than $20 a book ($20.15) but, hey!, he offers free shipping. What you say Jim: $15K to $17K worth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montezuma Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I think you'd have problems at $10,000, most of the big money books are missing, first series 1, 4, and 16 second series 9, 29, 38, 62, 74, 97 and a lot of the rest are in the fa to G range. Breaking it up and selling it on e-bay might get an average of $10 a book after fees, but it'd be a daunting task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrooge Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Monte, I thought I was being generous. I gave $10 a piece anything after 300 and assumed paying more for anything pre-300. Regardless, $25K is much too high. Maybe I should email Jef ... he might simply be advertising the set and is willing to break it up But, if his price expectations are the same as for the set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
