catrick339 Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 All right, it looks like there's sufficient interest for me to blast through the stuff in the basement and put together a fun thread of nice pieces and parts. Look for something to start along toward the end of the month. In the meanwhile, let's get started with today's hi-jinx. First item up shortly.

catrick339 Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 Offering up an unique item. Complete set of four printers plates for the front cover to Classic Illustrated's The World Around Us #5, Space All four plates, black, red, yellow and cyan, made out of copper and HEAVY. These were made to run on an intanglio (sp?) printing press, with a huge printing pressure, and are deeply and very finely engraved, and are gorgeous in person. The scans don't do them justice, so I'm going to try to get some close up pix to get you a little better idea. On the scans, the vertical streaks are from the scanner, they're not on the plates. Pix to follow. I flipped two of the images to give you a little better idea of the original cover too. As heavy as these are, they'll still fit inside a flat rate medium Priority box, so shipping for this item will be $15 Asking $200 for this one-of-a-kind set.

catrick339 Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 The Comics Journal 35 From back in the tabloid days, before Gary Groth took it to the slicks! Two sections, first sheet on first section has a 4" split along the LH edge, you may be able to see a touch of it in the scan. Interesting fan magazine from 40 years back.

While I have everyone's attention, I have a question for the crowd. The pieces and parts that have accumulated in the basement are filled to overflowing, I have over three stuffed magazine boxes of pieces and parts. Plenty of GA and 50's plus nice SA books, all incomplete in one way or another. Coverless, CF or other page out, complete cover wraps, front covers only, bits and pieces of all different sorts. Would anyone be interested in a thread of that sort? Everything from Amazing Spider-Man 1 with a couple folds missing but both first fold and CF still there to a coverless Avengers 4 to an early Wonder Comics and Worlds Finest 2 complete cover wraps, plus plenty of other lesser but interesting oddballs. I'd like to thin the herd, but don't know if there's enough interest to start a separate thread. Let me know your thoughts. I'd be interested!

catrick339 Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 Airboy V8 #1 BB hole through entire book in logo, plenty of general wear, split upper spine. And here's a puzzler. Cover says 52 pages, but the interior is only 40. So, two folds missing, right? Only the contents line up PRECISELY with the listing in the Grand Comics Database. Personally, I think it's complete, unless somebody with another copy can confirm the page count. Either way, asking $15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
