22 Tons of Original Classics Illustrated Engraving Plates for Sale by Jack Lake Productions Inc.

In August of 2011, First Classics, Inc. (FCI), headed by Richard S. Berger, purchased the rights and assets to Classics Illustrated held by the Frawley Corporation, including the printing plates.

In October of 2011, FCI transferred all 22 tons of original CI engraving plates from the Bronx warehouse to their Canadian sub-licensee Jack Lake Productions Inc. ( JLP) in Toronto, Canada, so that new digital CI artwork could be created.

The estimated value of 234 complete and 19 incomplete zinc CMYK plates of the interior pages of the US Gilberton CI titles is approximately 2 million U.S. dollars. Each zinc plate weighs 3 pounds. JLP, together with FCI, is interested in selling these plates as a lot.

Any interested parties in purchasing these one-of-a-kind, original, historical, Americana engraving plates for the Gilberton CI artwork should contact Jaak Jarve at Jack Lake Productions Inc. 1-800-269-9206 or email [email protected].
