jmg3637 Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Thanks for posting the list Monty. Have any more under copies to trade with me? With 53 books traded you are in danger of losing 3rd and perhaps 4th place on my partner list. I just checked and of the 963 issues I have, I only had one on the list. The low hanging fruit of 1286 that you posted. I am in the middle of 3 more transactions and 2 of them have Timmy 823 available and 2 also have tubby 444 available. only one has 1253 available. So I don't imagine that those three will be difficult to post. In the meantime here are a few more that were formerly owned by the dealer known as BLB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmg3637 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 That certainly would be a mother of a pictures with nearly 1000 books. I keep track of the books on an excel spreadsheet. I finally have my first few rows completed. The deal with BLB brought in 1280 so now i have all 13 of the x80's. The books coming from MCS will include both 100 and 1200 so the 13 x00's are completed as well.( glad there was no 00 book). I will begin to feel like I am on the home stretch when I have actually completed a full column. The closet i come is the 10xx where I have 88 of the 100 issues, and am only missing 1 issue from 1027 to 1081. here are a few more recent additions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4GEMWORKS Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 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. My apologies. Work has kep[t me too busy to check this stuff out more often. The thing about the missing Four Colors is that they tend to be missing a number in the indicia at all what so ever. If you looked at the indicia of t had Space Man issue, it would probably say Spaceman # 2 or something like that. Almost all the "missing issues" are shown only as the 8 series number that has specific meaning top date title and price. An interesting example, however is Beany and Cecil. While it is almost without a doubt a missing issue, it has no such numbers in the title in the indicia. When there is no other number and the actual name of the title is in the indicia, it is usually assumed to be #1. When the 89 digit number is used in the indicia, it is almost certain, however , to be missing. So in summary: Indicia has title and no number: Presumed to be #1 Indicia has title and lists any issue number: Not missing for sure. Indicia has 9 digit code where issue number belongs and is dated 1962: Probably missing There is some debate as to whether some in the first category, such as Beany and Cecil, might actually be missing.

Sqeggs Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Some excellent books, Marty! I picked up this one a little while ago, but I don't think I ever posted it.

50YrsCollctngCmcs Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Marty that's a great line up of the early Disney Four Colors up there. I've got most of them; picking them up since the early seventies at conventions and through the mail. Buying them off the stands must have been a great experience!!
