Posted By: <b>Fred Y</b><p>Am wondering if anyone else is into this facet of collecting?<br /><br />The 1st 2 are yardsale pickups from the '70's--not alot of value--- but all the others are from the early '50's and in really nice condition. These comics, like most of my vintage cards, are original purchase & stored & saved from my youth.<br /><br />Hope you all enjoy seeing them. (NO, the stickers are NOT on the mags--I labeled the slipcover to help me recall date of issue!)<br /><br />All comments are welcome---Would love to see what others have!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q285/fyoung17/comica.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q285/fyoung17/comicb.jpg"><br /><br /><br />First issue--only 2 made--nice value!<br /><img src="http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q285/fyoung17/comicc.jpg"><br /><br /><br />Issues 1-2 & 3 Only 3 issues made in 1951 &'52--not too often seen in this condition! (#10 on cvr means #1)<br /><img src="http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q285/fyoung17/fellercom.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q285/fyoung17/fellercom2.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q285/fyoung17/fellercom3.jpg"><br /><br /><br />1st issue--only 2 made--also close to NRMT. (Again--#10 on cover means #1)<br /><img src="http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q285/fyoung17/comicd.jpg"><br /><br /><br />Despite the #3 it is the ONLY issue of Home Run ever produced.<br /><img src="http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q285/fyoung17/comice.jpg"><br /><br /><br />This comic is very SCARCE--dare I say RARE? Only 1 made & has an Overstreet value of over $700 in NRMT! (Mine is nice, but the cover was factory stapled a bit OC!)<br /><img src="http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q285/fyoung17/comicf.jpg"><br /><br /><br />Issues 5 & 6 of a 6 comic issue w/ JR title--nice value to these also!<br /><img src="http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q285/fyoung17/comicg.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q285/fyoung17/comich.jpg"><br /><br /><br />NOT sports but part of a 14 movie series of comics from the early '50's--This was #13<br /><img src="http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q285/fyoung17/comicj.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Fred Y</b><p>Could be no-one has any sports comics or there is just no interest in this facet of collecting, but wanted to give a bump before it disappears from front page.<br /><br />Was hoping someone had some others to offer pics of so I would know what else is out there, but I realize this may be a very narrow field & limited to only early '50's production for vintage issues.

Posted By: <b>Butch &amp; Co.</b><p>Great stuff, Fred, thanks <I>very</I> much for sharing those -- the guys here, at least, find 'em fascinating. We do have just one or two sports-themed comix ourselves that we're willing to post, we just haven't had a chance to dig 'em out and scan 'em yet... <br />
