In less than 8 years both Supes & Bats will be public domain
AJD replied to Chicago Boy's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
So would you support Shakespeare's great great great... ... great grandchildren still charging people royalties for any use of his words, plots or characters, or even preventing anyone doing a resetting of his works? I think the existing laws already protect creators more than is probably required to continue to provide an incentive to create. -
That looks a lot like a reasonably common heraldic motif of a cross with crossed swords behind. A bit of Googling shows versions with Maltese crosses, Celtic crosses and even the Bulgarian Air Force circa 1940 used a similar image (below)! So I'd say that's almost certainly been put there by a previous owner who happened to own the stamp, possibly as a 'this one is mine' mark, rather than a store or distributor.

There were three of us at least with 7.5 on that one. I have CGC 6.5s that have smaller flaws.

How about a slightly off model Felix from an Australian GA house ad?

Australian golden (and a few silver) age comics
Images added to a gallery album owned by AJD in Other Themes
A selection of Australian comics from 1938 - February 1966 These are all from my collection. Most of them are reprints of American comics, but there are some Australian originals in here as well. Check out the Crimson Comet by Australian artist John Dixon - one of my favourites. The Silver Flash books have some great covers (and not so great interiors, but you're spared that here) and are well worth checking out. Australia used a British-style money system until February 1966. The prices translate roughly like this: 6d = sixpence = 5c 1/- = one shilling = 10c -

Where in the world was the Quality Control at CGC???
AJD replied to Wally's Comics's topic in Comics General
That label was meant for an invisible book. -
What are your favorite Detective Comics covers #38 through #120
AJD replied to Okguy's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
While it's hardly a classic cover, my favourite would be this one, as part of my war bonds cover collection. It's also the only Tec I own, so it can also go in a future 'your least favourite Tec cover' thread. -
So where are all the mid to lower grade GA books? I could really use a few of those right about now...

Cheerios giveaways (1947) Y1: Donald Duck's atom bomb
AJD commented on AJD's gallery image in Other Themes
Except for this one, most of them are pretty cheap if you don't need 9.x grades! -
From the album: Dell comics are good comics!

My collection of Dell comics. Dell was an incredibly prolific and diverse publisher, so my collection of mostly funny animal and cartoon characters really just scratches the surface. For example, I have none of their many westerns, war or ghost comics, no Tarzan, only a few of the movie and TV tie in books etc. There are lots of duck books here, including Four Color Comics: the classic Barks stories were run in the Four Color Series for many years, including the first 20 or so Donald Duck stories (until the Donald Duck series started with #26, which wasn't really the 26th...) and the first three Uncle Scrooge issues. Walt Disney's Comics and Stories: #1 was published in October 1940 and the final Dell issue was #263 in August 1962. My focus has mainly been on issues 1 - 100, but I'll pick up nice copies of others when I get a chance.

Meanwhile, up the shallow end of the pool... the set of 16 Cheerios giveaways from 1947. I really like these fun little comics. (Set completion thanks to @Point Five )

My daughter is a paramedic. She can confirm that speedboarding is a good way to meet her.

Disagree. The 10 point grading scale makes no sense if 9.8 is the highest. FWIW, I think that it would have been much more consistent to have 9.0, 9.5 and 10.0 - where 9.0 includes today's 9.2, 9.5 = 9.4 and 9.6 and 10.0 = 9.8, 9.9 and 10.0 (And get rid of 1.8 while we're at it.) Of course, there's less money in the whole business of grading if you do that, which is why they don't.

They sold more in the first place. No mystery there.
