Quote:Originally Posted by earthshaker01 My theory has been to buy the 5.0-6.0s as you bet on many issues to go up vs just one expensive issue(as long as you are buying desirable issues). Most likely you can recoup your cost on a book you spent $100 or $150 on. But if that issue hits you can we the value triple, quadruple, etc. Let's say you buy an issue for $3k and the value drops- that's rough for a collector with limited funding. The key is to learn what people want- I found the more grotesque, outrageous or salacious the cover the more chance it's going to have high desirability. Also look at how common the issue is by using both Gerber and eBay as a guide to how many issues are out there. |

@Sagii @martymann @Watcher so I went through a couple short boxes and pulled out a bunch of 60 four color and golden age boos to send in next week. Here are a few I thought you would like. These are all pretty high grade obscure esoteric books. I'll be pressing amd cleaning them this weekend...all weekend if I hope to get them all done. Lol. Here is four color #44 & #101.   |

Now this says Comics revue vol 1 #5, however inside cover says Gordo Comics volume 1 #1. Not to mention it's a rarely seen book. I have only seen a couple and they were Vg- at best. Not sure we're this one will rank when I'm done with it.  |

1942 #nn. Only real flaw is a minor color break bottom left cover, but should still get a nice grade.  |

| @Watcher @Sagii here is another book you rarely see. Cgc doesn't have one in their census. This one is pretty nice with the glasses attached. There is a crappy copy on Ebay and the seller notes, the glasses are missing in his description and goes on to say he thinks the 3-d glasses were stapled to a random page in the book. Which tells me he must have holes somewhere in the pages. The truth is they are attached to the binding like every other 3-d comic of the era. Crazy thing is the comic is by Star publishing, but was apparently manufactured with a pair of St. John 3-d glasses. Does anyone know if Star and St.John were partner companies?

| @earthshaker01 Jubilee and St. John were partners ( or Jubilee maybe morphed into St. John). Not sure about Star. | ||

| @Sagii maybe star didn't want to create their own glasses and it was easier to just buy some from St. John, who knows. Steve hadn't seen this issue with glasses attached, hell I don't think anyone has. | ||

I should have been up last night at the stroke of midnight to post this book. Captain Midnight did rule the air waves for a few years as the cover blurb suggets, from the late 30's to 1949. |
