An ever-popular thread on the CGC Collector's Society
Forum inspired me to go through the boxes and pick out my "favorite
10-cent covers." It was WAY too much fun: about 6 hours
worth! Considering how many 10-centers we have, it was surprising
how few of them really looked good enough for a gallery. I'm not
talking about Near Mint here - I was looking for Fine and above. In box
after box I found tattered old 10-centers followed by early 12-centers
that were immediately nicer
than their predecessors. I can only assume that the comics industry really needed that extra $.02 to
upgrade their production lines!
Anyway, here's the winners from my first search. I picked up to three
from each box I went through, based primarily on condition, but
influenced more than a little by cover design. The overall first-place
winner, based on both condition and artistic merit is... Strange
Adventures #130.
