1950's war comics Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 An issue #1 currently for sale on Ebay, looks to be a CGC 2.0 at best if graded, aggressively priced @ $500 to put it mildly FoggyNelson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sqeggs Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 52/98 complete: Nice! I've seen a few copies of no. 1, but this may be the first copy of no. 2 that I've seen. FoggyNelson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 It may be less common than #1. I have only seen one other decent copy for sale and it was an 8.0 that I felt was very over graded. I never wanted to go below 7.0 on the earlier issues but I think I will if the book looks nice. I liked this copy. FoggyNelson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevenrams Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Here's a # 16 from 1958. Not ultra HG but I kind of like midgrade copies because they don't cost nearly as much and there's not a whole lot of S & S collectors out there in contrast to other SA titles. It also contains the "origin story"--"How S & S first met" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 Looks like a nice copy to me. That is practically a classic cover, one of if not the most reprinted from the run. FoggyNelson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hepcat Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 It may be less common than #1. The #2's usually are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 It may be less common than #1. The #2's usually are. True. I've often wondered whether this was because publishers had higher print runs for issue 1s or because kids were more likely to save them.

Hepcat Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 A combination of both reasons I think, with the latter being more important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it is a decent copy and an iconic cover. I'm waiting for my granddaughter to reach the age of six--she's almost 4 now--and then I'll take out all my S & S books and we'll read them together. Steve PS--Great seeing you in the OC at Terry's show. And thanks for the help with my box of comics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttock Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 It may be less common than #1. The #2's usually are. True. I've often wondered whether this was because publishers had higher print runs for issue 1s or because kids were more likely to save them. In the GA publishers would put a high print run on first issues, then scale back for #s 2 and 3 until sales figures came in and then printed #4 according to how well the first issue sold. That assumes monthly distribution and some other factors, but the rule holds in general. I'm not sure how long that policy was in place, maybe into the 50s or SA?
