4GEMWORKS Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I've been too busy to post here in a while. I am alive and well. I am down to about 9 Four Colors to wrap up my high grade run. If anybody has for sell higher grade copies I am looking for: 237 Tillie the toiler 298 Bugs Bunny 664 Davy Crockett 723 Santiagio 876 Wells Fargo 956 Ricky Martin 998 Ricky Martin 1106 77 Sunset Strip 1229 Thief of Baghdad I realize most are pretty easily available in lower grade. What's High Grade to me: 9.0? 9.2-9.4 I must say I am aghast at some of the buy it now prices on Four Color on EBay. I've seen a restored copy of 956 I believe selling for 199-209 for almost two years. They paid 150 or something like that. Don't these sellers have anything better to buy and turnover. Cost of money? Wow, is all I can say! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, is all I can say! I had to check GCD and see if there was another Ricky Martin back in the day. Of course it's Ricky Nelson. Freudian slip? Anyway, mucho for such an astonishing achevement. I have toyed with starting this run, but I'm a completist and fear I'd be finished before it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even appeared in a few movies, although he couldn't act a lick. Came close to ruining Rio Bravo, which is otherwise one of my favorite films.

Earthshaker01 is the only other Boardie (I know of )who has a stellar high grade run of Four Color. Congrats on almost completing your quest!

The group shot would be difficult with this number of books. Mile High comics in Denver has an entire Four Color series wall board. Many have empty slots but It takes up about 8-9 full wall panels of at least 15' by 10'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfcityduck Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 That 15 cent postage stamp belongs in my 1961 rack I love that rack! I've seen one being used as a display in an antique mall.
