OtherEric Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Today's oddball question: treasurycomics.com mentions Steranko's The Block. I have, as I am sure most people do, the reprint in Comixscene 4. But, after quite a bit of looking (on and off) for years, has anybody ever found a copy of the actual book? It's not listed on the GCD, and I'm wondering if anybody has actually seen the version distributed to schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you just need to find 19 more mint copies to put into the box and you'll have something really worthwhile like this. wormboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuscemasAvengers Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I had posted this elsewhere ... picked it up from an OO ... no authenticity ... any recommendations about how I'd validate Stan's sig? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormboy Posted August 13, 2017 Author Share Posted August 13, 2017 Sweet! Looks real to me, but for "Validation" after the fact, you have to look outside of CGC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADAMANTIUM Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 The LCS I went to today had got in a 3 truck load collection, I finally made it by there today Anyway they had treasury editions, boy these picture's don't do them justice to just how BIG they are, even compared to Mag's and now I know that I've never seen any in person before Anyway, They had them priced at $6-30, the one's that I looked at anyway. The only knowledge I have is that they had already sold the ALI VS Superman for $90. Basically I didn't know what I was looking at Mighty Thor Treasury 3 at $6, Fantastic Four Treasury 2, Superman 1 limited Collectors Edition at $30, Conan the Barbarian 4 Marvel Treasury (but they had it priced at $6 due to how poor OR Dirty the cover was), anyway they were fun to look at for the first time ever JTLarsen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
namisgr Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 (edited) The oversized art panels are a special treat - if you decide to buy any, you can focus on many of your favorite artists.

Totally you can't get them graded by CGC, But once I saw how "big" they were, it reminded me of something like "archival" things and I guess that is the point of "treasury" I am going back later to flip through again and maybe get some with cool cover's. I really wouldn't mind getting them framed! or I could see the nostalgia in my comic room I don't have boxes that would fit a treasury and they would have to be out and about somewere, so a frame would be my best orderly option to save space. But i think they'd look nice in a frame, just need to pick my favorite so I don't take up the whole wall or ceiling haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking to another customer there about them, he was stating that some of the art was drawn at regular size and then enlarged or something...and that somehow made the art less appealing..... idk I still think they're cool, and I was impressed with the covers Edited August 13, 2017 by ADAMANTIUM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just wasn't reduced, which means you get to see a lot of great detail not visible in normal books. Think the "artist's editions" we have today, not a bad blowup of a smaller piece. I particularly call your attention to the two treasuries Kirby did new work on, or the Conans with Barry Windsor-Smith art, for instance. (Since you said Ali/ Superman was already gone.)

ADAMANTIUM Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 The LCS had some 1st Edition's that were big "treasury" size like Greggy posted on this page, they had different cover's though I'm guessing they were like TPB's? and were a collection of runs? I ask because the little that I could see of them, they were Wonder Woman's, but they didn't look like greggy's on this page that look like hardcovers.... I'm really out of my element, just curious. Anyway they had those behind the counter, they really seemed to have a lot from the collection(s?) they got in recently. I went from never seeing or noticing them before, to oh carp where's the memo with what to do now I just picked up an assortment to figure them out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormboy Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 I was going through and updating images in this thread ( photo bucket), and ran across a few more Treasury related items. I know it's a lot to ask, but it would be great if everyone who posted in this thread could go through and update their images that would be awesome. I hate to see them lost. Thanks!
