I just love these Biro covers from the golden age of comics. I like the big saw in the middle of the cover, nice touch. What don't I like, the fact that there are no tree stumps.
Boy Comics #32 (Lev Gleason, 1947) CGC VF+ 8.5 White pages. Charles Biro cover. Swoop Storm and Young Robin Hood end. Overstreet 2008 VF 8.0 value = $158; VF/NM 9.0 value = $249. CGC census 7/08: 1 in 8.5, 3 higher.
I got this book from World Wide Comics in 2010 for 89.55 on eBay. There is a sticker on the slab with a price of $205. It also sold in 2008 at Heritage for $83.65.
Ohio Pedigree- It's rare to find a collector who remained an active buyer for decades, as most lose interest within a few years. Even Edgar Church and Davis Crippen, two of the biggest pedigree stalwarts, petered out after 15 years. This makes the Ohio collection special, as it runs unbroken for nearly 30 years-- from the Golden Age all the way into the 1970's. Only the Big Apple pedigree can boast such a span.
Ohio Pedigree- Emerging from Akron, Ohio, this monster collection required two brokers and six years to bring out every issue. Dealer Nelson Dodds was ultimately responsible for introducing the Ohio collection to the comic market in 1994, but even he did not realize its size and quality until years later. Known for having great pages (ranking in the top 10) and easily identifiable distributor codes on the covers, Ohio books have been sought after by major pedigree collectors for over a decade. Though stocked with many high grade Silver Age issues, it's the Golden Age copies that made the Ohio collection famous.

This rare VF example for Boy Comics #33 is the only CGC 8.0 for this 1947 issue, with just 1 in grade and only 2 examples ever having certified higher. Adding to its desirability, CGC has assigned its near perfect page quality designation, Off-White to White Pages. The Overstreet Price Guide lists this issue in the condition offered for $132.
Paid-$74
Crimebuster (2 stories, one with art by Norman Maurer, another by Dan Barry), and LIttle Dynamite. Charles Biro cover.

I like how they describe what the story’s about on the bottom of this cover. Just seems a bit weird.
