We have ourselves quite a time Russell!!! Great funny books, great food .... the only downside is that the clock always seems to operate at 5 times faster than normal. STILL though, we sure get a lot of geeking in!!!! Electron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question, anyone know where or who might have a reproduction front cover for a Fantastic Comics #3? I'm thinking of slabbing this with a repo front cover.... I'm assuming that would still grade blue 0.5 or NG? "missing front cover only, with repo front cover" or something like that. Since the front cover is really the money shot on this one, I think that would make sense. Edited September 19, 2021 by path4play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the front cover is really the money shot on this one, I think that would make sense. Since you have the original back cover, you'd get a blue 0.5, that is if there's no restoration on it somewhere. GREAT score!!!! You likely have one of the only raw copies that can actually be thumbed thru, as since it's SO expensive, most people have them encapsulated or don't crack them out if they buy them that way. Well done!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you good at photoshop or photo editing? If it were mine, I would make a new cover using the original image, but clearly NOT just a reprinted cover. Maybe different colors, maybe a text change... The difficult part of the repo for you will be finding the interior front cover image. Seeing all those coverless books on feebay with xerox covers is upsetting. I always feel as if they're trying to scam someone. path4play 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a setting that I need to adjust? I do see some of them but most seem broken. Depends how far back you’re looking. Most pics from more than 3 or 4 years ago don’t show up for me either. I think it’s due to a board migration or old formats or things like photobucket not being supported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSod1935 Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I'm new to Golden Age collecting and some of the hurdles that go along with it.
