4GEMWORKS Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Missing Four Color 1353...One of the toughest of the missing to find in higher-grade. This is my best copy out of many attempts. Scrooge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I'm generally not a big fan of a lot of Dells nor this character, but I just LOVE this cover. So mysterious. Great colors and perspective. Really makes you want to read it. I bought this slabbed because I mainly only wanted the cover. It was also SO cheap. Everytime I look at it now I keep thinking I need to find a low grade reader.

lbcolefan Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Here’s my copy. Sqeggs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Love Walt Kelly covers. My scan makes the book appear darker than it is. It's a lighter blue in hand. Unfortunately, has a bad case of Newton Rings. That's what the dots are above the frog. OtherEric, bounty_coder and AJD 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't have a clear recollection of any of the stories and I can't recall having read any since. I agree that cover makes you want to read the story.

Sqeggs Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Purchased raw from Beford J. Rock as a 7.5. Seemed reasonable given the small stain on the candy cane and other stain near Uncle W's coattail. But who are we to question such things? Pretty Newton Ringy, alas. sagii and AJD 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Disappointed in the grade for this tough missing Four Color. Apparently FC 1353. sagii 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 One oddity about that scan (not that most of my scans don't have problems!): The upper staple appears rust-free with the book in hand, but rusty in the scan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Tough to kick about the grade on this one. Turns out to be surprisingly (at least to me) common in high grade: 1 in 9.6, 3 in 9.4, and 4 in 9.2. AJD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Kind of surprising that this copy is tied for second-highest graded. Probably aren't a lot of truly high-grade copies out there and not many people are slabbing mid-grade copies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
