Very happy to find my first Young Allies.  Never knew just how large these are until I held it in my hands.

Pretty sure that is the toughest book in the run.

I say Schomburg could have skipped Subby's squirt gun and just went muscle/water vs. fire like the Marvel Mystery 9 cover. 

It's just harder to conceive of a battle book that wouldn't tank in comparison to HT #5...

Since HT is such a hot theme on this page might as well Torch things up a bit more...

Love the book  but those puns

Grade can't compare to the earlier ones posted but the content? Blistering! The definition of 6th degree burn!

Agreed.  Namor looks silly using weapons or driving things.

[Straw-Man]

...and a subby as well--sorry, no torch, but namora more than makes up for him.

[Straw-Man]

Well I almost feel embarrassed to post after these great books but I have been busy trying to slowly get this run completed. I’ve got my work cut out for me...

side note got my Everett Subby sketch back from from framers not the correct thread but it’s appropriate imo and I don’t think anyone would mind .

Never apologize for Timelys!  You have an outstanding run started and I hope you keep going. My collection is all over the place in terms of grades because I'm always looking for a "deal".   Well, except for my All Select set. I've gotten a leeeetle carried away on it.

One thing I’m really learning is respect in trying to collect these . I’m totally understanding the difficulty in obtaining and buying at a decent price is not an easy task.

I knew from the start I would be on lower end of collecting Subby’s I wanted to stay in 2-4.0 range but my goal is no restored books. So far so good .

The difficult part is accepting that even with money in hand finding a particular issue is not like Silver Age era and beyond. You have to get in line and wait . When one does come up it’s eye opening how fast and expensive a book can rocket up. The other point I wanted to make is not all issues exist in low grades. I have a cgc census from last year I printed off to use as a guide on issues I’m after and what’s been graded . Some books exist only above 3.0 or more which puts me in more pricey buy in and more competitive bracket to obtain these . 

Im learning and having fun collecting these . It’s been most rewarding for me over any other period as it also feeds my urge for the hunt!

upgrade.
