Simply amazing! You have so many fabulous copies.

Thanks Hepcat. They are a fun run. Still working on it!

Okay, time to go spelunking!

 

1st Cave Carson, a truly difficult book to find in decent shape, which is why you are seeing the copy I bout in the 70's!

2nd Cave:

Third Cave Carson. My keeper copy.Apparently his sales didn't burn the house down, cause he never got a series, but he did get another shot in B&B and Showcase:

I will take a pause here to let some of you fine collectors show of your nice BB 34's!

I would take that 32 as a keeper!

I've found that the dust shadow has combined with the crooked cut to bother me more and more over time.

What's wrong with the Brave & the Bold 27? It looks really nice for a 7.5 from what I can see.

 

 

 

That too looks to be a really nice copy for a 9.0.

Thanks Hep. All of the above slabs were submitted by me from my personal collection. The #34 is indeed too nice to be a 9.0 . In hand, it had that never been opened feel to it. I don't like to practice the crack and resubmit game but one of these days I will resub that one. I remember one grader gave it a 9.2.

Regarding the #34, here's a scan of the Back cover in it's raw state. Absolutely

pristine clean.

yeah, that book is pretty hypnotic!

[Silver]

on we go...

 

I had to pull this BB 38 out of my "replace stack" to scan, I think it has a little amateur color touch that me and a felt tip pen did in the mid 70's...you know, when it wasn't called restoration...
