That one was on my tracking list along with the 46. Did you get that one as they both closed for the same price? -bc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was on my radar, but between the two books I would rather have had this one due to the pedigree and PQ. I'm hoping to go after a few more books, so I wasn't interested in going super hard after the #46. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proud to finally be a steward of a full set. Now comes the "whats next?". Haven't really ventured into anything else the last few years and not sure I want to try anything bigger than this, in fact, probably set my sites on a smaller niche/group/subset, just haven't locked onto it yet. mysterio and *Bronze age fan* 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, well done. This is an amazing accomplishment. Have you ever considered branching out into other "Atom Age" books? The big EC titles could keep you busy for a lifetime. Alternatively, I'm hearing Eternals #1 is RED HOT. KirbyJack and bc 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I relish any more competition for these books, but you could take ST and JIM back to #1. Plenty of other Atlas horror that is incredibly cool as well. bc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unreal accomplishment! I guess you could always work on upgrading? Next time try for an easier group of books to get together...maybe a full Planet run, or all the Hitler covers.

Plenty of other Atlas horror that is incredibly cool as well. I've thought about that quite a few times as I was getting close to finishing the set, but given my OCD collecting nature, afraid to even crack open the PCH door. So there's one less competitor I might upgrade here and there as entalmighty1 suggested as well as add the 4 or 5 Kirby PHM-style westerns (thanks for the reminder KJ!). EC is interesting. Sold all my bronze/silver Marvel superheroes many moons ago - guess I should have kept that mint Eternals 1 after all ! Been a Timely/Atlas/Marvel zombie my whole life, might have to explore other publishers.... Probably gonna peruse the Photo-Journals and old Overstreets this weekend and see if anything grabs me...might sell off my PHM dupes and undercopies to start that fund (somehow I wound up with 250 books after completing the 178 issue PHM set) Thanks for the kudos and ideas all! -bc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirbyJack Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 The Kirby western "monster" books are almost a requirement for a man in your situation, bc! However, those books are quickly becoming much less affordable! I will say, tho, that I recommend that any collector of vintage comics buy Rawhide Kid #17 if the opportunity presents itself. I consider it an immense SA key. bc and 1950's war comics 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
