Earthshaker01 Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Here is the 2nd highest graded one of these 1953 Superman 3-D comics. The only thing keeping it from grading high is the glass are unattached. I have them but it's what made it a qualified copy at 8.5 instead of 9+. I paid a guy 125 bucks for this awhile back. What a deal, ehh. and the back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earthshaker01 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Here is a nice copy of Uncle Milty #1. Normally I wouldnt buy one in less than VF but I just had to have this one was close enough. It doesn't come up very often and I am pretty sure I still haven't seen one nice than this one so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthshaker01 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Ok here is a rare peize for me. I bought this comic from a guy who didn't really sell comics. I paid him 90.00 bucks about 3 years ago for this. It is truly NM+ It is Four Color #12 the first Bambi. It appears to never have even been opened. Sorry again for any glare, I had already shrink wrapped this one to foamboard when I took the pic. I wonder what it would truly be worth if I ever had it graded. It would have to be the highest one out there. Sad thing I will probably never let this one go, I actually have another copy in NM- to VF+ but dont have the pic uploaded yet. Anyhoe hope you enjoy this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tb Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 It's fun to see so many unusual books in such a great shape. The early Bambi is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude you have some super books that I would love to see close and clear, but you are tormenting me with these pictures Just consider this a friendly request Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthshaker01 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Sadly when I sold my desktop computer the scanner went with it. I should have kept it for my lap top. Ill see what I can do though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthshaker01 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Ok so check this comic out. C-M-O Comics #1 (1942) which stands for Chicago Mail Order. This is extremely rare. I have seen it a couple times before but it was always trashed. I was lucky to get this one in this shape. Worth quite a bit as well for a non-superhero book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
innocuous Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Wow. Great pics. Thank you for sharing. Now, I just have to ask... I had already shrink wrapped this one to foamboard when I took the pic. I don't think I have ever seen a comic shrink wrapped in this way. Why not just a mylar and fullback? And, how do you shrink wrap it...heat?

adamstrange Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I had already shrink wrapped this one to foamboard when I took the pic. You have some beautiful books, earthshaker but I was a bit concerned when I saw this. Typically foamboard and shrinkwrap are acidic and sealing the book in that environment is far from ideal. Is this just a temporary way you store your books? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamstrange Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 That's a beautiful copy of a very, very difficult book! Ok so check this comic out.

Earthshaker01 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I knew this would be brought up. I use acid free foam board and bags that shrink under very low heat. What I have done for the last 20 years is cut a piece of foamboard out just larger than the comic. Then slip it into the bag. Then under low heat it is shirnk wrapped. This makes the comic so it can never be bent and the benfit is it is airtight. You could drop it, toss it and remove it from the box without having to worry about it getting any damage. Then they are placed in standard long boxes and put into a huge safe that is tempature controlled to right around 72 degrees give or take a degree. Also a reusable descant system is replaced every three months to keep even the thought of moisture out of the safe. Books I shrank wrapped 20 years ago look completely perfect as they day they went in to the boxes. The real benifit is they are airtight keeping the air from yellowing or foxing the books. I buy the foam board in bulk as well as the bags, It costs me about a buck on average to do this to the comic. Books that are mylared or encapsulated like CGC or PGX are in no way airtight nor meet the standards or an archival case. For me this is and has the best way I can think to keep them in great condition as I plan to let them sit for another 20 years befor eI sell them. Call me stupid but it works for me. Here is two copies of Annie Oakley #1 I bought these so cheap you wouldn't believe it if I told ya. Anyhow they are both gorgeous copies one is shrink wrapped and the other isn't.
