I lingered over this one on Marnin's site a long time. Glad I finally bought it. I will snap some interior shots at another time as they are stellar.

 

Really like it

I like these inside covers better than most I've seen

I always really liked the Detroit Trolley comics, and when Marnin had them I looked at these, but never made a move on them. Well Brent had them on eBay and I snagged them both

 

I used to have the Larson of this book, but sold it to Archie Steve. Glad to have the Trolley copy :)

Well I decided to start sending in some books to CGC. I never really did before other than the Batman 3-D's I sent in. I am expecting 10 or so of these to of these to set a new standard and the others to be new the top of the census.. Here is a list of some of what I sent in. They should be back in a about two weeks. I'll scan them and post when they get here.

Tom Mix #1 (1940)

Tom Mix Western (1948)

Babe #1 (1948)

Choice Comics #1 (1941)

Crackajack Funnies #1 (1938)

Zip-Jet #1 (1953)

Captain video #1 (1951)

Peanut #1 (1953)

Strange Tales #110 (only expect about a 7.5 on this one)

Out of this World #1 (1950 Avon)

Atomic Comics #1 (1946 Daniels Pub.)

X-mas Comics #4 (1949 None graded so far)

Holiday Comics #1 (1942)

Christmas Parade #1 (1949)

So the mailman finally came with my birthday presents, to myself lol

 

I've long wanted to read this series, but didn't really want to chase the set. So, along comes an opportunity to buy the whole set at once. Lower grades, but they are for reading :)

That is probably my favorite Atlas set Bill.

Congrats!!!

 

Wonderful books for reading and just charming art to boot. (thumbs u

A great gift to yourself!Could you show a few interiors as you read,with sugar on top?

Yes please, I would love to see the art and such. Even low grade they are not cheap. I thought of getting the masterworks ed. I love medieval tales.
