Phantalien Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Weren't there a few 4-color comics for peanuts too? Or did those come out in the Silver Age? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
143ksk Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 Four Color 878 was the first Peanuts in that series. It came out in 1958. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) Fritzi Ritz 38 from September 1955. Original strip on the right was published in 1952, apparently. Edited January 3, 2016 by BB-Gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffman_Comics Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Well, I wasn't going to add my 10c as what I have ain't GA However, since BB-Gun has established the precedent, here goes. I like "Peanuts" and have a lot of bits and pieces. Couple of Dells - here's one: Now, back in 2000 I was in Newport RI and picked this up from an "animation" type store. It's an uncut sheet of cards featuring Peanuts and a photo of Schulz, 33 in the set (repeated three times on the sheet), but I am clueless as to their original purpose. Had it framed when I got home and now it sits in my "animation poster" room Anyone got any ideas or further info? Here's a closer look: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffro. Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Check this out. This auction ended on 11/17. Sold for $430 The person who bought it, took the sticker off, causing more damage and then re-sold it again on ebay for less Looks like steaming off the sticker, as mentioned in the first auction, was not the best idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantalien Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Anyone got any ideas or further info? Here's a closer look: It was a peanuts trading card. The problem was that you got a tiny booster box and the tiny box had the set of 33 cards. On top of it there was supposed to be a randomly inserted Charles Schulz autograph in a booster. I got my sister 3 boosters thinking we would need to try to collect the set, nope, instead got 3 sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) Tip Topper has 2 pages of Peanuts not to mention Abner and Twin Earths. It was early Lucy. Not the first but one month later. Edited January 3, 2016 by BB-Gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happyhippo Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 If we're doing a role call, here's one I've got. Picked this up off of ebay early last year. It was "raw" and had a buy-it-now on it. I saw the listing about 10 minutes after it was posted. I wanted to hit the buy-it-now button immediately, but I had to read the whole description and look at all the photos first. I thought my heart was going to explode while I did that! The comic wasn't cheap, but was very reasonable. I sent it in to CGC hoping for a 7.0 and dreading a 5.0. Came back a 6.0! I was pleased. It's definitely my favorite comic in my entire collection. The full-cover Peanuts Tip-Tops are a close second. I have a 185 and a 188. DESPERATELY need a 186 and 187. I have some good silver age stuff to trade for either of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyhippo Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I got this one "raw" off of ebay as well last year. Again, buy-it-now, pretty expensive, listed by a big dealer as "VF". Certainly looked vf at first blush. When I got it I noticed a half-dollar-sized wrinkle on the front cover caused by water from a small glass, I'm guessing. The dealer said "tough", but I was so happy to have a copy that I kept it. I didn't notice the couple of blemishes on the back cover until later. Sent it in and it came back a very disappointing 4.0. The eye-appeal on this comic probably makes it the nicest presenting 4.0 Tip Top 185 out there. The water wrinkle is tough to see. I'm still happy I got it.

happyhippo Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Just got this one yesterday. Should be a solid 4.0 - 5.0. Quite happy to have it! Who would have thought these Tip Top's would be so dang hard to find! Seriously, over the 27 years I've been collecting things, hunting these Tip Tops has by far been the most challenging!

october Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 It's a tough issue and in-demand, but that closing price is around double what I expected. I collect Peanuts, and would love a decent looking 5.0 copy, but that looks more and more unlikely now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
