Popular Post gino2paulus2 Posted March 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 9, 2019 Normally when I upgrade a book the undercopy goes to market.

VAZ Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Part of an OO collection I purchased 2 years ago of approx. 400 PCH, Sci-Fi, Jungle and Crime. Comics were mailed to me raw, no bags or boards just wrapped in old plastic bags, This comic survived nearly 70 years unprotected in this man's home. Then it gets handled by someone else cleaning out the home. She takes pictures of the comics by putting them out on her driveway. She still has to ship and then I have to handle it page by page and then it gets shipped again to CGC for a press and a grade. I just think it's a great story. I'll post the slabbed pic next. Back cover was flawless as well. Anyone want to guess on grade? badback83, Ricksneatstuff, Marty Mann and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I see anything worth dinging it for on the cover. Possibly a slightly fuzzy bottom left corner. The minuscule color break a couple inches in on the top isn't worth marking down for. Could be a 9.6. I'd never say that on any gold book, but we've seen the covers of probably 1000+ EC file copies ranging from about 8.5-9.8, most of which are 9.4s, 9.6s, or 9.8s. That looks as good as they do from what I see. VAZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Readcomix Posted March 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 10, 2019 From Fight Comics #50. GCD attributed this one to John Forte, though most of the other Patsy Pinup pages are attributed to Forte and/or Kamen with question marks, so I'm not 100% convinced on the artist, but it's a nice page likely from one or both of them. gino2paulus2, Ricksneatstuff, szav and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that Little Lulu was a Little Archie with say Moose and Betty, it would be worth a fortune! Also, that western nobody collects -- I kept the same Bobby Benson; it was the only non-CI that I kept after culling that large collection of 16 long boxes that was 85% Classics Illustrated.
