Hepcat Posted June 6, 2011 Author Share Posted June 6, 2011 (edited) I have wondered why WF #91 is less scarce than all the issues around it? A simple answer would be about differing print runs but that seems unlikely to me. Unless it's just that I happen to have seen more of #91 than other numbers around it! Don't know, but that certainly is a nicer one than generally seen! (thumbs u Edited June 6, 2011 by Hepcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelcity Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Here are a couple more scans of World's Finest books from my collection: Great books! The pink tones on the #114 are so beautiful I just can't get enough. I don'y know if my copy is paler than yours of if it's just the scans?

Hepcat Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 My #114 is as deep and bright a pink as the scan. Here are scans of a couple more of my World's Finest books: Gnasher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelcity Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 My #114 is as deep and bright a pink as the scan. Here are scans of a couple more of my World's Finest books: Nice colors on these books, Hepcat. As with #114, subtle color variations can occur from issue to issue, only affecting some shadings, not all, on the cover. I have noticed this particularly on some early SA Detective, where the Batmobile can vary from deep blue to a light purple on different copies of the same issue.

Marty Mann Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I don't know about the Silver Age copies...but the GOLDEN AGE ones were 15 cents and in those days I could get better titles for my dime. I did pick-up a few that I still have...#18... #19...#21...#34...#36...#40...#41...& #42. mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generic user Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 If you thing high-grade SA WFs get no love, think about us poor "any condition" collectors. When I was putting this run together a few years back a LCS owner told me "You'd have to be crazy to spend money on reading grade DC silver" and I said "Yep, you're probably right" then walked up to the counter w/ a couple dozen BTH Lois Lanes and Superboys. You can't really tell from the picture, but there's about a dozen Bedrock City stickers on these. I think the last 5 or 6 of my 100+ run came from them on the same day.

What a salesman! BTW, what was he suggesting you buy, multiple issues of the same book to get all the variant covers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, what was he suggesting you buy, multiple issues of the same book to get all the variant covers? nah, he was trying to sell me the kinda books you have granted they'd be worth much more today than the "any condition" stuff I bought, but I'd only have 6 or 7 books and I know I'm biased, but these are some fun stories (backup stories included) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
