Here's a cool issue of Marvel Mystery. Issue #19 has a bunch of cool stories & art and another eye popping Alex Schomburg cover. Posted this beauty in the Rare High Grade thread earlier. This was one of my four Timely pick-ups at SDCC...  . |

Quote:Originally Posted by earthshaker01 It's a raw book graded by Metropolis as 8.5 with the opinion that it may have had a very light cover cleaning. PQ is off white and supple. Prices on books of this caliber are a judgment call. That said, early Marvel Mysterys with Schomburg covers in grade tend to bring a premium nowadays. Currently I'd estimate the value of this book at between $3000 to $4000 as currently graded. That's my honest assessment. Of course, every collector's mileage varies on desirability, but in hand it's a crazy nice book, very clean & great color. . |

My sole non-Timely purchase at SDCC was one of "Busy" Arnold's Quality titles, HIT #9, with a stunning Lou Fine cover. This book is an early CGC holdered high grade (8.5) with White page quality...  . |

One of my Timely acquisitions from SDCC has a weird kinda Grimm's fairy tale vibe to it. Alas, the real villain in Marvel Mystery #80 is the haberdashery. It's the Mad Hatter's attire that's truly cringeworthy! In spite of that, this terrific issue has a marquee appearance by Captain America, sharp color and registration, nice PQ topped off by high grade. What's not to like?...  . |

My final 2018 SDCC Timely acquisition is another great issue of Cap, this one with a Syd Shores cover. His male villains frequectly have large noses (maybe Syd Shores was frightened as a youngster by a jimmy Durante performance). Anyway The Parrot keeps his torture victims in cages, which makes for a pretty creepy cover! This copy of Captain America #63 is an older label CGC graded 9.2 (OW/W)...  . |

| @Sagii there is another one on ebay for 125 that looks really nice at first glance. But has some issues when looking closer. A stain or two at bottom, some bent edges that may or may not be able to be straighten. It's a tough book in high grade due to the inner comics is much smaler.than outer cover. |

Successive high grade Schomburg covers (...Alex's covers are usually a success  ), Harvey's All New Comics #9 & 10, issue number 9 being the Church copy...   . |

Jack Cole definitely had a GIANT sized inspiration when it came to skulls and claws. Here are two of my favorite examples of Cole's sense of exaggerated proportionality and artistic flexibility...   . |

| @martymann Love seeing GA interiors as well, Marty (please post more). Also, many of your comics were bought by you personally off the racks, which is doubly envious! Wish I could display interiors of comics in my collection, but most copies are high grade and/or pedigree books in holders. For instance, this sweet copy of Plastic Man #7 was originally Edgar Church's copy. No plans on cracking it out any time soon, but I'm confident the interiors are glorious (you can even get a hint of it through the cover!)...  I'm not sure how CBCS moderators feel about scanning pages from reprints readily available on-line from eBay vendors. Occasionally I acquire reprint copies of slabbed books in my collection for personal reading and as display copies to pass around during GA history lectures at conventions, but I wouldn't post anything here that might violate board rules. . |
