Comic Book Marketplace Group (1991-99)
<B>Comic Book Marketplace Group (Gary Carter/Gemstone, 1991-99).</B></I> Those pioneers in comic book collecting who brought the hobby where it is today were usually men (and a few women) who grew up in the late 1950s-early 60s Silver Age heyday. Early serious commentary on the medium was first issued in self-published "fanzines" from this group, but later publications, featuring articles and "comics for sale" ads, were more polished affairs, like Gary Carter's <B>Comic Book Marketplace</B></I>. Our offering is a short box including #2-21 inclusive and 55 other issues, the highest being #74. Of note is the copy of #37, an alternate-cover copy showing the <B>Terrific</B></I> #5 cover, and an outer wrapper indicating it was for the 1996 AACC annual meeting. Lots of great, informative reading, essential for serious collectors. All issues were subscription copies; later editions come in their mailing envelopes. Overall average condition ranges from VG/FN to NM. Not listed in Overstreet.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Comics Box - Full, Short (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
