I love how the lady is completely unfazed by the brawl, calmly poised with knife in hand. Thx! Comicjack posted one in the GGA thread and I instantly started researching ... Gerber 7, hmmm..... Found a few sales, mostly over guide....found this copy available from DTA, graded fine by them, and though I am more inclined to call it a 5.0 than a 6.0, it was a reasonable ask either way based on what I had seen, and they came down a bit. Great to do business with! Just a handful on the registry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricksneatstuff Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Been a little more selective lately. Happy to pickup a decent copy of this tonight. Always loved the red on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadzukes Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 (edited) Sorry for the bad photo here, I'm still figuring out the new photo format. I've had this Detective Picture Stories 5 cover for a while and picked up an interior last week (missing CF unfortunately). Pretty happy to have married together a tough comic. Anyone have a CF for me? Edited February 27, 2017 by gadzukes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricksneatstuff Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 (edited) I try to save this thread for the best I find. After 10+ years of looking for this one I FINALLY got a near impossible book. No GPA sales. No HA sales. Debut of major characters and only four copies on census. I will have it in hand later this week and quote this with the pic. Edited February 28, 2017 by Ricksneatstuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just wondering about anyone else's perspective on Foxholes -- are they common as a 4 suggests and I just don't know it, or are they not seen that often, like I think? All are fairly scarce in my experience. I lucked out I think and picked up a #1 and #4 several years ago from the same ebay seller, then a #2 about a year after that. Finally found a decent #3 last year or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's three virtually unseen Fox books back to back if I'm counting right, right? Since you really like the publisher there are some really tough 46-47 issues from the funny animal/humor era right before they were converted to the jungle genre books. A lot of gerber no shows and 8's. I'll pm you after my work day today with a short list. Again, excellent collection. Just think, only 20 or so more years before CC presents the 'Gino collection' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think, only 20 or so more years before CC presents the 'Gino collection' Thanks so much gentlemen I am REALLY stoked about this one!! sorry i'm still trying to figure out how to quote people but i think i got it down. You guys want to see something really cool check out some of the interior work particularly the splashes on this issue some are pretty darn neat!! http://comicbookplus.com/?dlid=40518 As far as high gear i think i'm topping out brothers I cant imagine finding 3 more books in a row like this that i've wanted so badly I have been really lucky/blessed for sure. I'm going to enjoy these for a long long time and Corey i can see it now except i don't think they'd call it the, "Gino Collection" i think it would be aptly named, "the Bottom Barrel collection" where the highest grade is a 4.0. They could say, "Never before has someone went to such great lengths to string together such low grade material!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all my years collecting, I have never landed any of those. I believe there is a club kit offered in one of those called The V Club for Boys. I have never seen the ad or the items offered. Real nice copy. You're coming up in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I can tell, it looks like the man wielding the diabolical torture device was formerly a victim of said device; his left eye is out of action.
