Hepcat Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Acquired these in a recent collection purchase. Beautiful file copy books. Wow! Little Rascals and Rootie Kazootie are two more sadly underappreciated Four Color titles. As a result, they're not often seen. (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(thumbs u Actually when I look at them I think irrelevant as opposed to under-appreciated. I think a lot of this material just isn't going to hold up; without an audience there is little to relate to here other than an historical curiosity. Little Rascals is probably the only one of the recently posted books with any kind of legs. Beyond a small group of niche collectors this material isn't ever going to be appreciated on any kind of scale. To be clear here I am referring to the recent obscure books, not the well know characters. Edited August 5, 2013 by 40YrsCollctngCmcs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hepcat Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 For whatever reason it's the more obscure characters that I always find the most fascinating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be clear here I am referring to the recent obscure books, not the well know characters. I understand what you are saying. One thing I can mention: These Four Color books are typically not the type of books I collect for personal. I am a horror / sci -fi guy. But these books are so clean, so flat, with such wonderful colors that I am tempted to keep them. The Rootie has such incredible reds they just leap off the cover. Fantastic conditioned books that a comic book collector can appreciate. Obscure characters...definitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can certainly relate; there is a whole portion of my collection composed of books forgotten and unloved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when they are real tough/impossible to get in that kind of grade. And the 'market' is funny; sometimes obscure/forgotten books all the sudden grow 'legs' in the 'market'.

MBA Guy Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Found this at my local flee market this past weekend. Love the condition(despite the obvious tear on the TFC) and I thought the story was pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tb Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Yes, very pretty books indeed. I recall a copy of FC 194 selling for ~$4K as one of the more bizarre results of the Disney comics bubble a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4GEMWORKS Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Incidentally, I have a link over in the EBay sales area which includes some great CGC Four Color stuff I'll be selling about 100 books before I am done. Most of these were my best copies at one time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
