  1. Thanks all for the feedback. Makes me feel better about the magazines I've collected recently. On a side note, it seems that those who have responded to this thread have some great experience with Warren magazines. If you have any advice on where I should be looking around for higher grade copies please let me know. I try to monitor a few different sites now but I'm always looking to add more. I also try to visit shops when I travel but that is hit or miss. Thanks again!
  2. I'm hoping someone out there may have knowledge about Eerie and Creepy paper used in the early 1970's. Attached are two photos each of Creepy 67 from 1974 and Eerie 52 from 1973. The first photo of each does not use flash, the second photo of each does use flash. What is shown is page six on the left and page seven on the right. The first six pages of Warren magazines, including the front side and back side of the cover, include the table of contents, letters, etc. and the stories usually start on page seven. You can see that the coloring of the two pages are quite different. It's almost as though there were different grades of paper used for the first four pages, and last four pages since they wrap around, compared to the rest of the interior pages. I'm used to seeing newsprint type pages from this era turning tan or brown especially around the exterior pages and at the margin. However, in both these cases the exterior pages are mostly solid colors of yellow or almost red while the rest of the interior pages are a nice cream to off-white with next to no tanning. I own around sixty Eerie and Creepy magazines from the sixties to the eighties and these are the only two that I can recall having this discoloration on the first and last pages but I'm wondering if there are more from the seventies that look like this. Does anyone have a good explanation for this? Also, would this effect the grading in any way? As I mentioned, other than the off-coloring of the first few and last few pages the rest of the interior pages are very nice. It really looks like two different grades of paper were used; one of the stories in the middle and another for the ads and letters on the outside.
