Shark Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Sweet copy Sqeggs. I just picked up 32 different Four Colors today from an LCS. Here are the issue numbers: 216, 264, 280, 297 327, 333, 338, 341 432 569, 598 624, 650 739, 749, 757, 767 808, 859, 891 997 1007, 1072, 1092 1144, 1145, 1153, 1178, 1179 1271 1301, 1304 Nothing high grade - most are in the 2.0 to 4.0 range with a few in the 6.0 vicinity. Let me know if any of you need any of these to fill in your runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmg3637 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Well if Sqeggs cant use any there are 5 that fill holes in my spreadsheet. Another half dozen might be upgrades. I have been sending stuff off to MYcomicshop.com to try to build up enough for another nice trade. They have a great inventory and if I had enough stuff that they wanted I could easily fill 100 slots. They do grade VERY HARD Here are a few more additions over the last year. An upgrade I like the story backcovers more than the ad variety A 15 cent variant with the story backcover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do appreciate the offer, but for now, I'm mainly picking up the occasional high-grade copy. Getting a complete set -- in any condition -- looks like a far off goal at this point.

Yellow Kid Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 That is a very nice group of books, especially the FC #282, which is hard to find with good color. Congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmg3637 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Thanks for your research Glen. Reading this caused me to go back and look in my own collection/for sale boxes. I found several of them and a few I thought should be added to your list. For example why isn't Space Man 3 12-757-209 one of the missing? It sure seems to meet you criteria I was updating my Four Color Collection Description in advance of the annual awards. I thought I'd share the last part which is new this year: I'll post some pictures that will likely be new to a few people. Missing Four Colors: I have previously discussed the missing Four Colors. Here now is a list of comics that might well be the “missing Four Color issues”. These were derived by looking at date marks on the cover and determining if they were part of another numbered series of comics that might have existed. For example if Bonanza #5 was trtuly #5 it would say so in the indica. Most of the missing Four Colors simply used a cryptic code of letters that few people understood. But what could be done was to match up dates and the issues that were not part of another series match up nearly perfectly with the missing issues: 1217: Ken and Barbie #1 01-053-207 1228: Bonanza 01-070-207 1292: Cain’s Hundred #1 01-094-207 1314: Donald Duck Album 01-204-207 1315: Follow the Sun 01-280-207 1316: King Leanardo 01-390-207 1317: Laramie: 01-418-207 1318: Leave it to Beaver 01-428-207 1319: Lolly and Pepper 01-459-207 1320: Man From Wells fargo 01-495-207 1321: Marge’s Lulu and Tubby in Japan 01-476-207 1322: The Prince and the Pauper 01-654-207 1323: National Velvet 01-556-207 1324: Pixie Dixie and Mr. Jinx 01-631-207 1325: The Real McCoy’s 01-689-207 1326: The Twilight Zone 01-860-207 1327: The Untouchables 01-879-207 1329 This is unusual. Ben casey seems to fit the spot (#1 ) 12-063-207 However Gyro Gearloose also seems to fit the spot. In fact I have a Gyro Gearloose in a CGC case titled Four Color #1329, despite the fact that 1329 is listed nowhere on the title or indica. 1331: Blue Phantom #1 01-066-208 1334: Dazey’s Diary 01-174-208 1338: Fury 01-292-208 1339 Rawhide 01-684-208 1340: Beany and Cecil 01-057-209 1342: Brenda Lee’s Life Story 01-078-209 1343: Bullwinkle 01-090-209 1344: Drift Marlo #1 01-090-209 1345: Famous Indian Tribes #1 12-264-209 1346; Jungle War Stories #1 01-384-209 1347: King Of Diamonds 01-391-209 1351: The Magic Sword 12-496-209 1352: Ponytail #1 12-641-209 1353: 77 Sunset Strip 01-742-209 One book that seems to be lost and would also fit in this slot (1353), is The Twist 01-864-209 1355: Bonanza 01-070-210 1356: The Three Stooges Meet Hercules 01-828-208 1357: Mickey Mouse Album 12-518-210 1358: National Velvet 12-556-210 1359: The Twilight Zone 12-860-210 1360: The Untouchables 12-879-210 1361 (questionable?) Walt Disney’s Goofy: Scoutmaster I have added a great many of these to my collection, but like a lot of the later Four Colors, many are seriously elusive in high grade or in any grade. Cain’s Hundred. King Of Diamonds, Dazeys Diary, The Twist and Jungle War stories are just a few of the titles that many people have never seen, unless they were really looking. Even Marge’s Lulu and Tubby in Japan is practically impossible to find in higher grade. Frankly, you might not see it show up for months at a time.

jmg3637 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 It seemed an appropriate issue since my wife and I are watching Interstellar . Here are a couple more of the missing Four Colors that I found hiding in my collection. And an ALMOST missing Four Color. Likely would have been one but with a number of 12-692-211 would have come out one month later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took a run at the raw FC 196 on HA last night, but it went well above what I had been hoping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmg3637 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Sorry u missed out on Charlie. I got mine from Monty early in my project A few more from my recent organization and scanning project missing 1323 And Missing 1329 which of course conflicts with the other missing 1329 The OTHER 1329. has the 01 329 207 as it code, and as I recall 1329 is also written in the bottom left panel on the first page.
