143ksk Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 Nice Mystery Men. I've never seen that cover before--very cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUNYHUMAN Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 Im glad you guy's enjoy them. I've got many more to show ,& while I love high grade books like everyone else sometimes I can't afford high grade; and sometimes just a nice solid copy is all you can find. Especially for Golden Age. It's taken me years to find some books. I hope to see some more of you guys posting your books also. If you've been collecting long enough sometimes your just happy enough to find it in any grade. I've been collecting on and off since 1965. I have a near complete Marvel Silver Age collection. 98% complete. I've been delving in the Golden Age for the last 10-12 years. I've also been working on DC Silver Age. My collection runs from near mint-fair. I'm a buy and hold kind of guy, but I know one day I will start selling them. I love the history & the hobby of collecting comics. I've learned ALOT on these boards. I'm still learning. I love it! Thanks, Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PUNYHUMAN Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 I always thought that Zip # 9 was incredible. Unfortunately I don't own a copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kryptonitecomics Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 Truly awsome books!!!! Keep them coming you are giving us some great books to add to our want lists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjpb Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Another classic Schomburg. Someone once described this as "the poor man's Suspense #3", that's an overstatement, but it does seem almost as hard to find. It's interesting that when "scarce" books start demanding high prices they start getting easier to find (seems like somebody is always selling a Cap 74 - you know there's more than 20 out there, hell, even I have one) - conversely alot of books with classic covers that aren't regarded by Gerber as being especially rare, hardly ever seem to be for sale.

PUNYHUMAN Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 I never knew that Alex Schomburg did any Pep covers.It goes to show how much their is to learn on these boards. BTW Great covers on both of those books /lotta action!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjpb Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 That Pep 30 rocks! Of course war era Peps are always cool. Another cover I had overlooked in the Gerber. I had forgotten about the Schomburg Pep 29 cover, didn't he also do the cover of 38? I still haven't unpacked my Gerbers from a move over a year ago. I once made my self a list of all Schomburg's war covers with the idea of eventually collecting them all. It was well over 200, so it's a very long term goal, but I do try and pick up a few every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
