vane Posted December 2, 2014 Author Share Posted December 2, 2014 What was the last DC Digest? Of the 1980's? I believe it was Best of DC #71. But I believe DC Comics is still producing digests. I have some Justice League Unlimited digests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidcolt Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 (edited) I love the old digest, they were a huge part of my childhood. Congrats on the 9.8. Edited December 5, 2014 by kidcolt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vane Posted May 2, 2015 Author Share Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) It seems like it gets tougher to find these books in 9.8's to finish my run. Also, the later issues of Best of DC (Like #41 and on) are tougher to come by, and... I notice the whole series of DC Special Blue Ribbon Digest is a little bit scarcer to find in high-grade than Best of DC. Still, I would like to know what's the print run between the two. Here's what I got from CGC recently... Edited May 2, 2015 by vane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevenrams Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 It's been over 9 months since the last post so I think I'll scan a book that just came back from CGC: MAR1979 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vane Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 It's been over 9 months since the last post so I think I'll scan a book that just came back from CGC: Where did you find that book? Nice digest!! I just can't get my digest run finish. It seems Best of DC #60 through #71 are very tough to find in 9.8's. And forget about the Jonah Hex's digest. They're just impossible to find in 9.8's because of their horrendous printing defects. I did find a possible Jonah Hex and Other Western Tales #1 9.8 BUT it caught damaged during shipping to CGC.

MAR1979 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 (edited) On 5/6/2012 at 9:55 PM, Jaded Savage said: I thought about collecting this line since I have a really nice Jonah Hex set and a pretty Dark Mansion of Forbidden Love but i can't stand the look of the Digest encapsulated in a regular comic sized CGC holder. Hopefully they change that one day. Responding to a very old post I do agree that would be very nice! However, my guess is the only reason digests are graded is they fit into the standard footprint. Likely there is not enough demand to justify the overall custom slab size equipment and material expense from CGC 's perspective. I also feel no chance enough there would be enough demand for Digest size graded boxes or mylite sleeves to be made. Extending my thanks and appreciation to Vane for all his time, efforts and expense in gathering raw then slabbing his former digest collection. Thanks to him many of these beautiful but near zero demand books are in 9.8 slabs. I am the lucky current proud owner of a few of them, my favorites being the JSA issues, Perez Supergirl cover, and the 100 Power Pages Of Blistering Battle Action Haunted Tank issue. Speaking of the Haunted Tank issue, when I was a kid a buddy of mine had the issue and for a short time back then 100 Power Pages Of Blistering Battle Action became our catch phrase, actually still kind of is... P.S. I am seeking (offering top dollar) for 9.8 Best of DC Blue Ribbon Digest 03 Super-Friends - Vane sold it just a scant week or so before I first made contact with him.

EC Star&Bar Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 I have several of the very earliest Best of DC and DC Special Blue Ribbon issues -- all Newsstand copies. Not many after that, though I do have a sharp copy of the GL issue shown in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAR1979 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 (edited) I've recently re-united some of Vane's DC Special Blue Ribbon Digest Digests with their siblings in my collection. As small DC digests go, I'm a big fan. Thanks again to Vane for all his efforts!

I recently got it graded some time late last year. I particularly like this book because if it's patriotism. You'll notice Earth-2 Batman is the architect. Not only one of my favorite Digests, but one of my favorite George Perez covers. I'm proud to be the current custodian of this book Thanks again Vane for your digest efforts!

Bryan65 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 All those CGC graded digests are pretty! Not graded, but I bought these 4 Batman Digests a few years ago from an eBay seller...item description stated they were bought from an estate sale. These are in pristine condition.

MAR1979 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 (edited) Re-united another of Vane's DC Digests back with some of it's siblings recently. The past few years I read for the first time nearly the entire Sugar and Spike run. Timeless stuff from what some with euphoric memory might consider a simpler time. Also thought I'd toss in what is my favorite Doom Patrol cover and one of my top 5 favorite George Perez covers. Elasti-Girl (later Elasti-Woman) never looked better. Again thanks to Vane for all his tireless efforts years back, I'm just someone who was lucky enough to have purchased them from him (or others).

MAR1979 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 (edited) Rudolph re-united with some of the "Vane family". Great Sheldon Meyer cover! Brings me back to the XMAS 1979. After 2 decades of fruitless searching, never figured I'd ever find this one in high-grade especially after missing out on it when Vane was selling. I'm very fortunate to have received a 2nd chance. P.S. Seeking (offering top dollar) for 9.8 Best of DC Blue Ribbon Digest 03 Super-Friends - Vane sold it just a scant week or so before I first made contact with him.

MAR1979 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 (edited) Thought I bring out another for the season of holidays. Apologies in repeating yet again my thanks to Vane as without him I woudl not be the current caretaker of this festive on sale Dec 1981 high grade digest. Contains the unpublished (used in Cancelled Comic Cavalcade) Sandman #8 by Kirby. P.S.
