ECs HAVE to be read. It’s great to have nice graded copies but you at least have to get low grade or reprints to appreciate them. 

I even got a GFC gasp! Ungraded. Bought it from Russ when they came out. Have actually read it a couple of times (carefully). 

I agree that ECs have to be read as well!
 

Can you please tell me what “GFC” is? Its not ringing any bells.

Because we are all friends here, I will let you in on a dirty little secret - as long as you promise not to tell. I crack every one as I prefer to read the stories and enjoy the artwork. Shhh!

Two of the things I love about ECs; the majority of collectors read the books and aspire to complete runs.

In my opinion, the best of the best, book for book. Hard to find a stinker in the bunch. I'm getting a lot closer to having a nice mid grade run again. But I do also have a very large pile of un-bagged beater reader copies sitting on a shelf when I get the urge to just smell a few...:roflmao:

Today's book.  I only need issue #19 to finish off the Two-Fisted Tales run.

Just astounding colors on this one!

Congrats! And yes, such pretty colors. A great run that I think you will complete soon. 

I’m down to a little less that half the runs of Crime, Crypt, Vault and about 7 of the SF titles. And there is that pesky run of the Romance titles... I pick at them when the right copies come up at the right prices. I almost don’t want to finish. ECs are about the only books I still want to finish runs of.

OH man Ive been wanting this one for almost 2 years! Now I have one! It was the most I spent on a single issue but it was/is worth it!

Awesome Werewolf cover/story a Vampire story, a Voodoo story and a Mummy story!

Nice!  Another one of those books where it might almost qualify as a classic cover if EC hadn't already gone way over its quota of classic covers...

Seriously, the baseline EC cover is so good that it takes a lot to get up to classic status compared to other publishers.
