Is nobody here collecting Fox books ??

[Mad Dog]

I dont get it , I hardly see anyone talk about them, post about them, sell them, buy them or add them to their collection... they are top on the list of books i need to get in 2007, or atleast the titles featuring GGA such as Zegra, Dagar, Jo-jo, All-top, etc. is there something im missing since almost all kindda books, especially GA get some puclicity around here, atleast occasionally

 

no love for them here? imo many of them have great GGA, excellent covers (especially the bondage Kamen ones ) if you have them, pls post them

Merry Christmas Steve! I've noticed you seem to be the only one who gets up as early as I do to peruse the boards everyday.

 

The Weird Comics is awesome looking. I saw it listed in Bob's catalog, but It's great to see a scan. He also has a really nice Wonderworld 4:

Cute kids! Here's my little Theagenes from this morning, with his new Superman action figure. It's been very exciting - Thomas the Train just got derailed, but Superman came to the rescue a la Action 13!

Cute as bugs, all!

i don't collect them per se, but am trying to get at least one book out of every cgc recognized g.a. pedigree. altho' i try to get them to fit into my #1 niche [timelys], sometimes i gotta go outside. here's an allentown fox --so sorry about the crummy scan, just can't make my scanner do any good on a slab.

You're right, she would kick me in the arse for saying something mean to you.

 

Now go buy a nice scanner!

Plenty of love. Lack of extra cash makes it an unrequited love.

Billy;

 

I am sure this is a nice book although it's definitely hard to tell from your scan.

 

Was this a recent pick-up or have you had this particular book for some time? What is the grade on this book since most of the Allentowns tend to be in the upper grade range in comparison to some of the other GA pedigrees?

 

Appears to be extremely tough to find Allentown books as the Fox copies have not shown up in the marketplace for several years now.

[RareHighGrade]

What is the grade on this book since most of the Allentowns tend to be in the upper grade range in comparison to some of the other GA pedigrees?

 

Looks like a 9.0 to me.

Speaking of Peds and fox, which pedigree has the most / best fox books in the collection.?. i know the answer allready is the awesome Church copies, but other than that? (since generally not in my reach ) a few allentown which grade pretty high, and some Crippen books and Rockford books that generally aint the highest certified. Any peds im missing here ?

Probably Allentown, which is known for the high quality of its fox books, including keys. Larson also has many nice copies, especially if you don't mind a little foxing.
