Almost all of them appear to be scarce, just look on eBay. Their popularity peaked in the early to mid 60’s so the late 60’s to mid 70’s are the hardest to find. In my opinion the best covers and most valuable ones are from 1962-65. Prices are all over the place, anywhere from $10 to $400 depending on the cover and condition. It would take more than $400 for me to part with my high grade copies with the best covers!

Basically the more outrageous and over the top the higher the price. The 6 titles from Reese/Emtee - Man’s Story, Men Today, Man’s Epic, New Man, Man’s Book and World of Men usually bring the highest prices but it all depends on the cover. I sold this one raw on eBay a few years ago for $300. It showed up as a CGC 9.4 on Clink a few months later and sold for $385.

I guess I was wrong, it was a 1.0. It was missing the coupon on the back cover and about 1/2” of the bottom right corner of the whole book was missing. Otherwise it looked pretty nice. 4 of the stories were also published in Trail Colt 1 and 1 was in Manhunt 13.

The other copy was also Canadian.

A CGC .5 copy sold last month at Comic Collect for over 7k. They had a full page write up about how it was 1 of a kind. I imagine the buyer is a little upset to see this one show up and sell for less than half of the graded copy!
