Probably aren't a lot of truly high-grade copies out there and not many people are slabbing mid-grade copies. ..One of the (not too many) covers to depict Bugs 'model-sheet' right! Love it!

No , i meant that is a 'well drawn' Bugs Bunny. Some of the covers make him appear tall, and the face is drawn too full, or they always have his ears flopping/bending. ...I know , I know, OCD Bugs Bunny fan problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmg3637 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Wow this thread had fallen all the way to page 7. I took a trip to Houston to visit my mom who had relocated there last year. Had the opportunity to visit Bedrock's store and do a nice trade with him. Had not really added anything to my collection in over a year. Nice to find a decent Andy Griffith which is a hard book to find in any shape. Get Marwood & I and Scrooge 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmg3637 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Now that the first three phases of my year long home remodel project is finished I actually have access to my books again. did transactions with Bedrock, Terry's and Dave and Adam at the Torpedo pre Comic Con show and just pulled the trigger on another group from MyComicSHop.com. With all of those I have pushed my collection to 1219 issues, and virtually all of those from trading. Must admit pickings in my available stock is getting a bit thin. Can't remember when I last posted my Thank you list which has grown to 10 pages with nearly 50 different Trading Partners but here is the most up to date listing path4play, AJD and comicdonna 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice additions to the collection. 1,219 Four Colors is very impressive (especially with most being traded for). Odd seeing a blond Opie on the back of the Andy Griffith. Is he blond on the interior also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have quite a few Four Colors in my 'To read' pile, but I've fallen behind on reading my backlog as other things have taken precedence. I'll get back to them eventually. I now need 185 out of the 1322 Four Color issues for the set. I picked up #12 Bambi, #16 Porky Pig, #27 Mickey Mouse and #29 Donald Duck recently plus a few others. The biggest ones that I still need are #9 Donald Duck, #62 Donald Duck, #33 Bugs Bunny, #38 Roy Rogers and #74 Little Lulu. AJD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes tenacity, to say the least. A few of the issues are simply impossible to find at all. You can wait weeks or months. Danger man is a good example. Once I finished the prime set I started on the missing Four Colors and still have an issue or two that I am trying to lock up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmg3637 Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Thanks You are no small part of me reaching this goal and are in 7th place on my trade list I think I have about 1/2 of the missing four colors. Had no real idea about those until I read your research. I have another 8 in my hold cart on mycomicshop.com Here are a couple more from my trip down to Houston thanks to the long tall Texan.

Now over 1100 books and growing The number of Four Colors you "do not have" is "over 1100 books and growing"? Maybe you stop trading them away.

jmg3637 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Scanning and re-bagging the the books that I got fro the PRE SDCC Torpedo show in Los Angeles Also just got in my latest trade with mycomicshop.com. Essentially traded 13 long boxes of books for 13 books. All of these transactions are added to my various tracking methods. Attached is the spreadsheet I developed to attempt to have all the information for both series contained on 1 double sided page. I have modified this many time over the decade to track counts by 100's and ending digits and have noted BOLD for higher grade keepers and italics for books that I would like upgrades for. kaculler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
