After finishing the mostly High Grade additions from 4GEM. time for some much lower grade examples from Blissard. Little Orphan Annie went from Four Color to Regular Series and returned to Four Color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I recall years ago they would not let you trade for any item with a value of more than $25. While I have not been a fan of the new board as I find it much harder to navigate it is much easier to be able to upload images directly from a source without going through the process of having them hosted at sites like photobucket. Trying to post a few more that I uploaded to the bucket last year. BTW is there anyway to preview the post prior to submitting? OK so far it did not work and says I have to update account yo enable 3rd party hosting. Is that my CGC account or PhotoBucket account? These were from a trade with 4GEM for some of his undercopies. Screwed by Photophuckit like me. Sorry, really sucks... sacentaur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Finally got around to picking up a copy of this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4GEMWORKS Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) Wow..Photobucket...39.99 a month. I have not the foggiest idea how they believe they add any where near that kind of value. I'm guessing they are on the precipice of survival...There go my pictures. Frankly I would have balked at 4.99 a month. Maybe 1.99 a month?

Frankly I would have balked at 4.99 a month. Maybe 1.99 a month? I just looked it up and I've been paying $29.99 per year (unless they raised it since I signed up in 2015). So, something like $2.50 per month. That is enough to grandfather me in to posting to third-party sites until December 31, 2018 ... unless they change their policy again.

jmg3637 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I am sorta crushed that much of my contribution to the board over the last 15 years are lost due to the actions of PB. Really will be a loss to the boards when the images in the postings of 4GEM and Robot Man among others disappear into the either. Sure, many of the images can be reposted but the threads loose much of their History. Can you imagine the loss if BangZooms images are PBd out?

Yes, I was just going through the crime comics thread and a bunch of posts have been wiped out there. Unfortunately, given the popularity of PB, most threads are likely to suffer.

jmg3637 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I had been trying to systematically chronical the progress on my quest to trade for a copy of each Four COlor comic with a image of the book and a thank you in this thread. Sadly all of the images posted prior to last week are lost with their associated partner. Guess I will have to attempt to carry forward with books I believe I have not yet posted. These are more books I got from 4GEM last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmg3637 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 While I am lamenting the lost images from the past, the new board sure makes it easier to post straight from the source. I am sure eventually I will learn how to post an picture from my phone directly on the board as well. Until then I still have many more scans ready and here are a few more from 4GEM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmg3637 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 here are a few more than I got from 4GEM last year When I grab a bunch they do not end up in the order I want. Is there any way to move the order, or do I have to upload them one at a time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Not sure about how to order pics; I just upload mine one at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I bought it and the note was in the box. I think people would have bid more if she would have put the note in the auction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I also just checked Wik and it looks like Clara was Carl's 2nd wife though.) Very cool to have a Four Color #9 that came from Carl Barks (via a North Dakota piano bench).
