october Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Picked this up recently. Copies are dirt cheap, and I really don't understand why. The cover is insane. SushiX, Larryw7 and gino2paulus2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonderful book, and very nice copy too. Perhaps if Schomburg drew the cover it would command much more in the marketplace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gadzukes Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) 5 hours ago, tricolorbrian said: Yeah, nice stuff Gad...what's the story of the collection? The collection is about 300 comics in which a third of them are super high grade. The two copies that are graded (pictured above in the thread) were 2 that he sent in to CGC to test the waters on where the grading stands for the rest. Some of the graded comics go all the way back to CGC's 1999 "Red Labels". He told me he didn't press anything. He said he got into collecting in the early 90's (for his kids) and would only pick up stuff he saw that was super high grade. The weird thing is, about 100 of the comics are absolute drek from the 90's (foil covers, gimmick covers, etc...). There are some nice high grade Marvel Silver & Bronze too. He said the collection was always for his kids, but they grew up and had no interest in them whatsoever, so he decided to sell them. Lucky me. There were a number of high grade Four Color comics. Check out this Four Color 1348 "Yak Yak". Like I say.... this collection has some strange stuff in it.
