Ricksneatstuff Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Well, I have received word from another decidedly expert source that this is not a Church copy. I am sure the person who traded me this did not know but was given misinformation from the person they got it from. Still... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 1 hour ago, Ricksneatstuff said: Yeah, for sure. Should still end up the highest graded copy. I think my Corliss Archer #1 is a Church. I bought it from Chuckie in the late 1970's. No markings or "smell" I can detect. So long ago I can't prove it. But if it were graded it would probably be the highest too. Love these Feldstein Foxes!

Ricksneatstuff Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Well I'm keeping the book anyway. It's really quite nice even though it is not a Milehigh copy. porcupine48 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a weird smell and the pages are so white you have to wear sunglasses to read them. Who wants to bother with that? I only buy the darn things when they're offered at a steep discount.

sacentaur Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 18 hours ago, Robot Man said: Some people say pine, some people say cedar or even moth balls. I've had mine so long that I think most of the smell is gone. Although Adam Strange was over about a year ago and he said he could smell them. I've never run across a Church that has moth ball odor, those were the Hawkeye books. Cedar or pine is an apt way to describe a Church book. I've had some of my church books for a long time, and I'm very sensitive to their smell. The way I store my raw books, with microchamber paper and absorbing sheets, I've noticed that the distinctive Church smell has - in some cases - greatly dissipated over time. Tracing the provenance of a book through previous owners is always recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same car- different label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
