Its getting tougher to pick up GA books in my weekend treasure hunts, so I am pretty happy with this batch. These came from an elderly couple from NY who had decided they wanted to live on a houseboat and are downsizing. About 40 or so comics with some of the better ones pictured below. The cool book of the batch is the Whiz 25, first appearance of Captain Marvel JR. The Fiction House titles, I did not have, so that was cool too. thumbsup2.gif Hopefully there will be more. 893crossfingers-thumb.gif

translation: 40+ GA comics that have not been restored without disclosure, restored with disclosure, graded, pressed into pancakes, graded and cracked out, or overgraded by a greedy dealer.......congrats! thumbsup2.gif

That's interesting. I just read it as fewer golden age books were coming out of the woodwork, period. There must be a lot of between the lines commentary I am missing.

You read it right. thumbsup2.gif I have found some nice collections recently but they were mostly silver and bronze with the occasional GA book. This is the first purchase in a long time that was exclusively 40's and 50's books.

I think what Steve was referring to was that since I know the provenance, there is no worry of monkey business. As far as the time spent looking for OO collections, it is what me and the wife do for fun on the weekends. Granted we look for other things while out garage sale-ing and flea-marketing, but I never waste an opportunity to ask about comics. grin.gif

I agree! Fight Comics #38 is one of my favorite covers in the Fight run. I am hoping to pick up a high grade copy of this issue at Chicago's Wizardworld.
