    "Funny Pages"- Comics Magazine 1 1936. Started what would eventually become the longest centaur title has Siegel and shuster contribution years before ...you know. Owned the cgc 1.5 lost valley copy years ago. Happily snagged this copy from a boardie a few years ago. Tough book.

    Hehe

    Good news is the market will determine value regardless, so kind of just splitting hairs in a label
  5. G.A.tor
    I wouldn't think that is it at all

    I believe the bulk will be sold via lots/bulk. The best books will likely fill a nice auction.

    The 1950s wf sell for multiples of guide many times

    A nice us version would likely sell for 5000-5500+. Seems most Canadian Rec's sell at about 60% of their us counterparts from what I've seen

    Not sure that timely needed the blood. Schomburg and crew portrayed the era so nicely without it

    I already posted it but here it is again

    Jon has been an active contributor to the boards for a long time. Wonder why he hasn't chimed in

    There has never been a publicly recorded sale of a certified 4. They are all tough after 1. Just splitting hairs. Finding all 5, now that's an accomplishment!

    I found 3&5 tougher. 10-12 seemed readily available when I collected the run. Cyclical nature

    Detective Picture Stories 5

    Straight sale vs auction has quite the variance in pricing sometimes

    Detective Picture Stories 4

    I think many of the stories were reprinted in keen detective funnies, but this is the only copy I've run across

    Never haunted by a sale

    Post away the comics you once owned, that you don't anymore (regrets or not)... over time, Action1Kid (formerly of these boards) sold me each one of these books...all were , unfortunately, sold at one point or another...

    It's not uncommon to have 7 figures (or close to it) tied up in inventory if you're traveling as an international dealer to big shows. That's what it takes to be in the big times. if you don't have the inventory, you can't do the sales!

    luckily, I don't rely on comic sales (either store or convention) for an "income"... I truthfully rather just buy comics than sell them...but, by selling them profitably, allows me to buy more! But yes, I tie up 7 figures of capital in books, but I'm fine with that...if I don't sell them, technically they are "mine"
