Wow, those are some REALLY nice books!!! Even a little old label goodness to top it off! Beautiful pair. Thanks for sharing!!!

Those are some beautiful books! So difficult to find in the condition you have them in. Will these stay raw or get graded?

They will remain raw indefinitely. Here are five more from my collection:

I got a hold of this ADV 211 recently. It was an incredibly tough issue to find. Completed my 1955 run of Adventure issues except for 210.

 

Interesting the way Lana and Lois were drawn in 1955!

Don't worry Superboy, once you hit puberty your threeway dreams will get better.

Lana and Lois attired in only fishnet stockings and Brazilian thongs wouldn't have gone over too well with the CCA in 1955 though....

A true Silver Age classic is the doomsday scenario tale of the Suneater, filling both Adventure #352 and #353.

 

The teasing conclusion to #352:

 

 

Here is the dramatic splashpage to #353:

 

Good write-up!

Wonderful raw copies!!!! Thank you for sharing!

Haven't posted in this thread in a while, thought I'd put a few recent acquisitions up here. Thanks to MyComicShop auctions, and Ted at Superworld Comics, here's a few I picked up recently:

These are for Hepcat - I know how that crazy cat loves his Krypto covers!

Oh yeah! I say Krypto should have been a charter member of the Justice League of America!

Some of the best DC stories of the SA!

Yes! And I'm always glad to hear from another collector of raw Silver Age DC comics!

Here are scans of six more Adventure Comics from my collection:

Those are beautiful copies! Do you have reader copies as well? These look too nice to page thru.

No, I only have the one copy of each. I buy the DC Archive books as well so I can read/study the old stories whenever I want.

Sorry about the poor quality of my most recent scans though. Up until a year ago last September I had a Dell Vostro 1720 laptop with a Vista Business operating system and a Dell V105 copier/printer with which I was getting scans that captured the full magnificence of my comics.

Then when my Dell laptop died just over a year ago, I replaced it with a Hewlett Packard Envy laptop with a Windows 8.1 operating system. For three or four months thereafter I was getting scans with the same resolution and brightness but slightly smaller in size. Then my Dell V105 copier decided it no longer wanted to continue mating with my new Hewlett Packard laptop. I therefore replaced it with a new Hewlett Packard 1513 copier/printer. My scans are now back to full size but I've lost brightness!

A couple of recent acquisitions:

Oh wow! Those are nice ones.
