garthgantu Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 1) Is any of the "lightness" on the cover of the "BB's Christmas Funnies" actually on the cover, or is that on the surface of the slab? I've got a number of high grade Dell Giants and early Four Colors, some of which have that sort of sporadic cover wear...I'm guessing the comic above is clean in that regard and these 'blemishes' are on the slab? 2) How about a "Ho-Ho-Have A Cigar" thread in the Comics General area, for Xmas holiday covers from all eras? I've got a Holiday Comics #5 with L.B. Cole Christmas cover that I'll post when I get home... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn you for pointing this out!!! On #2, sure, let's start one. I have some cool unslabbed Christmas books to post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets see... panther fu, bondage, racists depictions of black folk, scantily clad women, and a girl fight... ALL ON ONE PAGE!!! All that's worth price of admission alone.

ArAich Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 Cool books shiver...I'm especially fond of that Strange Mysteries #1....that seems to be a tough book to find in FN+ or better condition....yours seems fairly solid... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 thanks ariach! The SM#1 is a VG-F, but i am certainly happy with it! Those superiors are on cheap paper & don't turn up solid very often. i am about 65% of the run of superiors now which is my main pre code goal.

I find it hard to believe its that tough if i have one & metro has 3 at this moment Well, Hooded menace is not on my pre-code horror checklist, but am familiar and would probably cross-genres and buy one - yet I honestly don't recall seeing one in well over 8 years of cons. Mighty nice find there. As far as Metro - well they have three Cap America 75's but just too pricey, in my opinion, for the grades. They did send me good, large scans of all of them. Had a really fun and extended chat about pre-code horror with one of the folks there too. Not dissing them - just guarding my wallet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiverbones Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 good point, cap 75 is definately a tough tough book if they have three or not, so thats some help.
