Sqeggs Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 And speaking of motorcycle covers, here's another group shot of some that I've been accumulating this year from various places (mostly low-mid grades)...finally got around to re-bagging and boarding 'em this evening...now I can file them away where they belong: Nice! Did you ever put together a complete list of motorcycle covers or do you pick them up as targets of opportunity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC ed Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Nice! Did you ever put together a complete list of motorcycle covers or do you pick them up as targets of opportunity? I definitely have a list that I'm pursuing...not sure whether the list is technically complete, but if not, it's darn close. Occasionally a surprise pops up that I haven't see before, and I update the list...but that's happening less and less frequently. Of course, the question comes up as to where to end the list in time...I used to tell myself that I'm pursuing all "Golden Age" motorcycle covers...but that end point is a little vague. Lately, I've been telling myself that I'm pursuing all "Pre-code" motorcycle covers...that's a little more precise and easy to identify...if the book was pre-mid-1955 and doesn't have the CCA seal on the front cover, it qualifies. I need to organize the list, but based on a quick glance at my spreadheet I've identified about 90'ish pre-code motorcycle covers, give or take a few (and also depending on whether you consider a scooter to be a "motorcycle" )...right now, I have copies of about 70'ish of the 90'ish. Maybe I should start a new journal thread for the motorcycle cover collection and lay all this out in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the Alan Ladd with the photo Triumph cover. Had a Bonneville in high school until I wrecked it. Still have pins in my knees as a reminder. I just loved that bike. I just picked up this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knightsofold Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I've been looking forward to having the 3 Silver age counterparts! Since it actually looks like the character, I prefer Schomburg's first Torch cover 100 x more than Marvel #1's. Plus it's a lot cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gadzukes Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I was at the bank today ad thought I'd snap a photo which turned out to be a really bad photo. Two of those Supe 1s have repro covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
