Top 50 Comics in My Collection! | CBCS Comics

@CatmanAmerica

I always wondered why you omitted the labels....

However, speaking for myself, I miss out on information the label provides. As nearly all your books are golden age, I don't know enough about the books to fully appreciate them. Without the labels, it is difficult to look up further information on the books. The significance of it being a first appearance, pedigree, a key of some sort, etc.... all information that makes the book even more interesting gets wiped out.

As I mentioned earlier, I learned a lot in pedigree thread. I would like to continue expanding my knowledge base....

If I may, I implore you to leave the photos intact and not cut them in the future so we can FULLY appreciate your books as more than just a pretty cover.

In pedigree threads and the old label color/grade game thread my “exceptions” rule kicks in as labels are necessary for reference. In threads focusing purely on cover art I usually provide text information about grade, PQ and art without posting the label. That said, on this board I routinely post CBCS labels because our sponsor’s management has taken the principled position that ...since both grading services are trusted by the collecting community... censoring the competition’s labels would be counterproductive and detrimental to the hobby. .

But as proud as I am of my collection, the pedigrees thread shows me how limited my views have been over what comics have value (both monetarily and collectability(sp?)) and how lacking I have been in diversifying my "portfolio".

	Here's a random twenty. These were set images from my old signature line on the competitor's board that were rotated for years until someone had an issue with a couple of labels. As a matter of principle I pulled my signature line & now edit out all labels (including their's) when posting full cover scans... .

	The first 25 of my Top 50. The second 25 requires a little more thought.

	Here's the other half. It was harder than I thought it would be. I have a few that didn't make the cut because I simply didn't have them scanned.

	A lot of the books in the second 25 have stories and memories attached to them that make them important to me.

	I just loaded my top 50 into my Gallery, so you can either view the thumbnail, or click on the first image and scroll through- In no particular order, since I can't seen to control that.
