Sqeggs Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Here is the Savannah 55 scanned raw. It isn't as glossy as some of the other issues I have. However, high grade issues aren't easy to come by so I grabbed it when I saw it. The Don and Maggie copy looks better, but I don't usually upgrade 9.2's. Here is the Don and Maggie copy. It is very similar to the Savannah copy and both are really nice examples of this issue. The colors really pop on the Don and Maggie copy.It looks a much superior copy. Just picked this up cheap in the CLink auction. I guess 98 must have reprinted 55. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 I dont think the cover is a reprint, I think SM redrew it, there are subtle differences. FoggyNelson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamstrange Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Might be awhile before I have any, I ended up with 15 Don and Maggie issues. Total is now 48/98. Love this red wedding cover issue: Hope the interior is different than Game of Thrones "Red Wedding" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaylam Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Hey Silver, congrats on all the Don & Maggie books you picked up from Heritage. Some super grabs there. I'm still waiting to get that #81 back from grading I picked up raw a few months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 Thanks! I will never get that many nice copies of this series in such a short time again. FoggyNelson and 1950's war comics 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaylam Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Hey Silver, Just picked this up today at our local comic show. Not as nice as your 9.4, but probably about an 8.0-8.5. It's really solid, nice and glossy, but has some serious foxing on a few interior pages. One of only three Sugar & Spikes I saw at the whole show. The other two were in pretty bad shape, but this one really stood out. I also kind of like the date stamp. That was one of the first HG issues I bought when I started going after the run. I see the S&S bug has bitten you! Hey Silver, Got that Sugar & Spike #81 back from CGC. Pegged it on the grade but the Off-White Pages surprised me considering the foxing some of the interior pages have. Also notice the slight difference in the spine. The staples and the spine edge are just a little more forward facing now; must be an effect of having the book pressed. Still very pleased to have found this one and add it to my collection, plus I got it for next to nothing to start with. Now that I've developed an eye for this title, I've come to realize you just don't find nice copies hardly anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 Due to there being Sugar and Spike's in quite a few pedigrees, the later issues seem to be out there in high grade. Issues before number 60 are much harder. That's a nice looking copy, that was the first slabbed issue I ever bought of the title. 1950's war comics and FoggyNelson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 Hard to believe it has been a year since I got any issues. Not for a lack of looking either. 1950's war comics and FoggyNelson 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was the underbidder on the Heritage #1 in 8.0 You know, I got confused over which day that one was going to come up. I thought it went low. It would definitely have sold for more if I had been on the ball. Edited to add: I think it was the same copy that sold on HA and then was available for offers on that site. If so, it sold for less than I offered through the site. Edited June 23, 2015 by Sqeggs 1950's war comics and FoggyNelson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 I believe it was a different copy. I personally think the price was about right, there just are not that many players at 5K for a Sugar and Spike #1 FoggyNelson and 1950's war comics 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think the price was about right, there just are not that many players at 5K for a Sugar and Spike #1 It's such a tough book and it only takes two bidders to run up the price. You and me, for instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
