A GREAT Team-up from the Silver Age:   AQUAMAN & The ATOM !

→BRAVE and the BOLD #73  CGC 9.4  OFF-WHITE to WHITE Pgs 

Cover art by famed DC artist CARMINE INFANTINO

Script by Bob Haney 1st pairing of AQUAMAN & The ATOM (2 core JLA heroes) as they team-up in the title

story synopsis: Aquaman is somehow transported into a watery MICROSCOPIC environment, where only Ray Palmer has the skills and experience to rescue him..

  1. Cover art by famed DC artist CARMINE INFANTINO; #73 was the last after several nearly consecutive issues (#67-72) of rare Super-hero art covers done by INFANTINO in the Brave and the Bold series; having previously done NON-Superhero issues (#45-49, "Strange Sports"); issue #67, 69-73 were his major Super-hero Team-up artwork in Brave and the Bold.
  2. The script for Brave and the Bold #73 was written by another great DC creator, BOB HANEY
  3. The Brave and the Bold #73 is also noted as a "PROVENANCE" Collection (the "Dallas Stephens-Mile High.com collection")
  4. Br & Bold 73 was the 1st Series issue (since early 1966) that didn't have the bizarre and confusing "DC GO-GO Checks" cover format! It ended with issue #72 (we recently sold a copy of Brave and Bold #72, BTW!) 

→Pricing $$: Read detailed info in Gallery illustrations: not only to explain the "informal pedigree" items within this portfolio; detailed also is how we evaluate market pricing and scarcity --$$ Pricing Analysis:  detailed scarcity/census/sales info is illustrated: once you read the info in the listing and the picture gallery you will have a COMPLETE understanding of what is contained here, and its reasonable explanation for "A$K prices/values"!
  • SCARCITY Comments:   few Other Hi Grade CGC copies of Br Bold 73 are available on the market! There have been few very high grade copies sold in recent sales history; even though dozens of graded copies exist for each issue, if you want a NM range book, you must wait for a current owner to Part with theirs! Well, there are 275 COMPETING CGC Registry sets for Brave and the Bold...so how long will you need to wait for a pair of copies, THIS NICE?
  • Our copies combined arguably comprise another "informal Industry Pedigree" as distinguished CGC issues ("from the Archives of industry Panelologist/Archivist "Crazy Ed Savitt")
  • Crazy Ed's BRAVE AND THE BOLD Registry set ranks among the "top ten" in the CGC Registry (currently, 6th Place out of 275 competing sets!)
→A reader copy for the CGC issue; another UNIQUE aspect of a "Crazy Ed private archive";  reader copy of Brave and the Bold #73!)
→"PEDIGREES"  Basic background data: CGC REGISTRY Issues: 
READ the "MAN CAVE INFO SUPPLEMENT" - illustrated guide to Pedigrees , Provenances and File Copies, based on CGC Pronouncements and "other discussions!"
    • "PEDIGREES" "A PROVENANCE" (?) basic distinctions:
        • In all likelihood, Crazy Ed's DC Collection meets every criteria as an industry recognized "Informal Pedigree/a.k.a. "a Major Provenance Collection." And several (MANY) of Ed's top rated/ or scarcer books are commonly sought after (bargained for) by other top rated CGC collectors...who KNOW ED wants his prized items to "have a good future home"...In fact, a notable CGC Registry collection proudly mentions when they acquired a CGC item from Ed for THEIR collection...and their 'item by item' registry records reflect a book as "having been a ('prior Crazy Ed' comic")...so the comparison is justified! 

        READ the "MAN CAVE INFO SUPPLEMENT" provided, which states OUR position/opinion on the characterization of certain Portfolios we offer as "Informal Pedigree" "Registry Acclaimed" or "Major Provenance" Collections!

        • Crazy Ed's Brave and the Bold CGC Registry set is entitled: {'better than the "meek and the fearful'...}     → His set ranks 6th among several impressive "top 10" Registry sets for the Brave and the Bold title...and there are 275 competing sets.
