Mr.Diggler Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I hate posting this beater after those lovely books. I finally found an affordable one after looking for a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theagenes Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Got a few books back from CGC that I finally got around to submitting. Tied for the top census with one other book: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theagenes Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I was hoping for a higher grade on this one, but I guess it got hammer for the file copy stamp. Still top census though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theagenes Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 A little more Buck Rogers goodness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow Kid Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Thanks for sharing, Jeff, those are some great books. I like a lot of the peripheral material from the 1930's as much as the comic books themselves. The premiums, BLB's, gum cards, games, coloring books, etc., all have the same great graphic art. Beautiful stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacentaur Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I've got a beater (cover deteached) copy, but what a very fun book. Stilll have to be careful of the nearly-identical reprint, which contiues to cause confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theagenes Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Thanks guys! (thumbs u I went through many copies of the Kelloggs premium before I finally found this keeper and I just now got around to getting it slabbed. Steve, I believe the 1990's reprint is missing the kelloggs products on the back cover, but I may be mistaken about that as I've never actually seen one in person.

BB-Gun Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I just noticed this cover on a Popular Comic. It is a very obvious German Stuka dive bomber and is dated Dec 1939. Are there earlier examples of the war. I think the Action 17 cover is dated 1939 as well. I don't remember what the other example are. Anyone else? Action 17 has a WWI vintage tank on the cover. Tanks didn't seem up to date until 2 years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct - that's the only difference that I'm aware of. And for a 1933 premium, it is printed and thick glossy quality paper, as was the reprint. One experienced dealer didn't know about the reprint, so I had to break the bad news to him in person at a show, but thankfully he took it all in stride. Your copy is so beautiful.

BB-Gun Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 (edited) I like most of the Star Spangled run as long as it is reasonable priced. You got Simon and Kirby Newsboy Legion and Siegel's Star Spangled Kid in the beginning and Robotman and Robin in the middle and Tomahawk and Ghost Breaker at the end. Some fun.
