Is this event really happening? They are selling tickets on their website, but other information seems really scarce.

Those are great books! As a collector of some other esoteric DC's I think these are awesome!

Hep, I’d love to see your Fox and Crow books. I agree it is likely harder to complete, especially in grade. On the positive side though, they are likely cheaper when they come up, I’ve had to pay some pretty steep prices for some of my S&S books. As for Fox and the Crow, I do collect the non square bound funny animal Comic Cavalcades, I have about a dozen. They are super tough in fine or better.

Thanks for sharing these! I may have most of these ads in different titles, but I don't think I've ever seen them al before!

Hepcat, when I first started "collecting" comics in 1973 at the age of eleven I predominantly bought the Superman titles including Jimmy Olsen, Lois Lane, Action, World's Finest, and the Superboy and Adventure titles as well. I specifically remember buying DC 100 Page Super Spectacular #21 (a Superboy issue) that when I opened it up and the Superboy story had a little box that said "Adventure of Superman when he was a boy" that was when I first realized they were the same person I also remember cleaning my neighbor's garage for $1 and the immediately going to 7-11 and buying DC 100 Page Super Spectacular #22 with the Flash and a Slurpee! I really loved those early giants, I also started buying Brave and the Bold starting with #112 and fell in love with the Viking Prince reprints. I ended up buying B&B until it's final issue, #200. t Those giants frequently had cover galleries of the original issues or referred to them, that got me going on back issue hunts from an early age. I eventually started buying Amazing Spider-man, Avengers (George Perez issues) and the New X-Men as well. Around '84 I decided to narrow my back issue collecting to DC's and went on to complete Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, and Superboy runs, and got deep runs of silver age Superman, Action, Adventure and World's Finest. I limited myself to silver and early bronze age to keep the scope as something achievable, plus, those were the books I liked the most always. I bought new comics up till about five years ago, but have since mostly lost interest in them, although I do pick up the random TP now and then if something interests me. I think those of us that collect runs are a dying breed in comics. I love putting together full sets or deep runs. I have some titles I have been working on for decades, like Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. I have every issue but continue to upgrade whenever I see a nice copy. Sugar and Spike, five issues away and a dozen or so I'd like to upgrade, a seriously impossible run to put together but I think I have a really nice run, possibly the best. Ok, enough rambling

There were three of these in last weeks Heritage, I won the cheap one 😂😳😭

Thank you! I've been actively collecting Superman related titles for 40 years now! I don't try to get the best copies, just nice looking ones. I've found that as I've completed some runs I'm looking for upgrades of lower graded copies, it keeps my collecting interest high. I've also picked up some issue that are outside the range of issues I normally go after, such as these two because I liked the covers.

I am amazed at the breadth of your collection Brian, and as usual, super nice copies!

Dang Ian, those are just gorgeous!

I believe every book being mentioned is sole census highest. Which is insane. One person grades a Frontier Fighters 8 in 8.5 and poof, there goes your $4,300. Also, Brave and the Bolds 1-24 are way better books and have never commanded those prices in 8.0.

I did not bid on the 1963 Rudolph because I think the colors on my copy are the very best I have ever seen. This scan has not been adjusted, those greens and reds are just awesome. The Heritage copy looks lackluster in comparison. I bought mine three years ago for $50...

Look at the great colors on this issue!

I have a really nice copy of this issue I bought from an ad in the CBG around late 80’s. I paid $5 for it and it arrived in a plain manila envelope with no backing board or bag. I can’t believe it survived the trip like that!

Here's another

Seriously? And wow!

That dealer is not known for using Overstreet 😂

My three Cave Carson’s reposted from earlier:

If you want to spend the bucks, here’s a 9.0 #32. Myself I have an 8.0 I’ve had a long time. I’ve always thought the 31 was the most difficult of the three personally. I have a raw 9.0 I picked up a couple of years ago after owning lower graded copies. https://comicbookaddiction.com/products/brave-and-the-bold-1955-1st-series-dc-32-cgc If that 7.0 number two ever comes up there will probably be a bidding war.

Very nice, the colors on all of those issues are fantastic!

Very nice! There are some really tough issues in your run! I need to take a nice group shot of my 1-24, that looks great! The toughest issue you still need is #2...by far the toughest.

My latest addition, 5 more to go. I have no hope I will get those quickly, some I've never seen other than very low grade.

Yeah, he was really awesome. I'd love to buy fine or better copies of Three Mouseketeers, but they just aren't out there.

Three Mouseketeers and Comic Cavalcade (which has Fox and Crow).

5 more to go!
