Awesome!

Looks like you have Captain Midnight #13 listed twice, third from the top and second from the bottom.

Who is grading my raw Okajimas?

sell some to me at way below fmv, and i'll grade 'em, one and all.

Who is grading my raw Okajimas?

 

just ball parking it based on the scans, happy to change them. I dont track who owns what... let me know what their grade is and I'll happily change it.

I would suggest you not grade people's comics from a scan. If a book is not graded by a company, then I would put in grades only when they are supplied by the owner and I would indicate that the owner supplied the grade.

So it looks like the three 9.2s, Captain Marvel Jr. #20, Military #31, and Police #31, are the highest graded camp Okajimas.

h'tage archives have only a single 9.4, an exciting from '49.

Are we only posting "camp" Okajimas here?

no, sir, post 'em all, but some of us just have a special place in our heart for the camp-coded books.

done and done...

add my new little book to the global list [yes, it comes with the c.o.a.]

 

I have jungle 54. Will image later, it's a June '44

 

Hi all - need some help here. This book looks like an Okajima based on the writing on the back. However, it is my understanding that the writing is almost always on the front. Thoughts on whether this is an Okajima?

here's the back of another '46 book

 

but I'll check my master list (that has the non-camp books as well) to see if it's on the known list.

 

46 was a bit of a transition year (so the markings might not be as consistant), but by 47 the books seems to come from the same place with the same distributor markings

 

anyway here's another '46 back.
