Ace Comics featuring Four Favorites, Super Mystery, and Our Flag 6 6

[___]

Thanks for sharing, she is a beauty! Tough to find in any grade. Only 7 on the census, high scarcity for sure!

I love when this Thread lingers on page one for awhile. 

BTW, if a Boardie won the Berk copy of Lightning Comics v2 #4 back in June and you're reading this, please post it . What a wild cover, and so tough to find.

A few more back from CGC today....  Only a couple left pending grading at CGC then will need to hunt for more.

Very nice #14 is a beast with the what I like to call 'Horse faced man cover' .

Issue #15 doesn't surface frequently either. Well done!

You're doing a bang up job 

On another note, came across this paragraph while reading the Centaur piece in Alter Ego magazine #85. So Aces first two comic books were 'previewed in Centaurs because Joe Hardie had a stake in the Ace line. @G.A.tor does this make Aces and Centaurs 'cousins'?

I believe Berk wrote about this in An article long ago

I can scratch another off the list.  Cover and CF detached but rarely see this surface so will suffice for now.  One of the cooler covers of the run IMHO.

Definitely a knockout cover!

Nice one! Cool cover and splashes too! ( and Capt Courageous went from a star fish masked spandex hero to hero of a different sort  )

Well finally got my FF 6 back today!  Here she is in all her glory.  CGC 6.5 Universal OW/WP. Highest universal on the census with the next being a 4.5.  I think the Berk was a restored 7.0.  It did come with a detached CF notation so not sure the point deduction for something like that.  I also have the 3 back which I will post later.

Man, what a pretty copy of a killer book! They sure hammer for a detached centerfold. These are the kind of books I love to buy!

Beautiful! That is one crazy torture/ bondage cover! Matched only by issue #5. You are owning the Thread!

Thanks!  Here's the 3.  A little bummed with the purple label as I didn't see the glue on cover.  Wish I had it checked for resto prior to grading as I would have seen if it could have been removed.  Still don't get why some with glue are in blue vs. purple holders.  Happy to have these in any grade/label though.  Have a couple more big FF coming my way end of month and will share those as well.

VERY nice! CGC's new holders really make books 'pop'. Very good call out on the 'how much little color and glue keep you in the blue'? Either way, scarce book, great in any state. Congrats!

One of my biggest regrets was passing on a FF 10 years ago because it was a 2.0
