lBcolefan, you might have population of one, only known issues of some of these👏👏👏👏 probably not but you sure don’t ever see them anywhere, maybe some old timers have them in storage?
I never responded to this but meant to. Back in the day I found myself in some bidding wars with Rich Oldberg - and ended up with a copy of this without the date stamp, both from the Ohio warehouse find. The seller had listed two hi grade copies, and I had won the one shown here. But the seller got his wires crossed, and I got Rich's without the stamp and he got mine. To me, the stamp meant nothing, but Rich was absolutely gutted. So we agreed to trade, which was only fair. In our back and forth, he told me that he had multiple high grade copies of all the Man's Story, Men Today, Man's Epic etc etc, and whenever hi grade copies turned up he would bid strongly on them, regardless of how many copies he already had. He alone could perhaps account for the apparent scarcity!

To be honest, that didn't take much working out!

I’m still waiting on my Holiday 4 from Heritage and Holiday 2,3 and 6 that are stuck in an airport warehouse in Australia.
I bought a scarce hardback from a dealer in Moose Jaw to be shipped to me in the UK. Three months later it turned up in a holding warehouse in Australia. Maybe that's where all the lost books go?

Me too. I don’t get stressed or depressed about today’s prices. A bit astonished I guess.

I was thinking "Cool comics that were cheap two months ago, but now cost the same as a boat"
It's schadenfreude of epidemic proportions.

Thanks! I'd kill for a truly high grade copy. This is a deslabbed 3.0 with some back cover moisture issues, but it presents pretty well. I've also owned a raw 2.5/3.0 that I sold when I got this one. Never seen any other copies, and I've been working on the run for 3-4 years now.
I've only known this cover because it was used for a cheap reprint - nice to see the original for the first time!

Just went through my list. Not a chance of narrowing it to 5
It does, however, remind me how much I enjoy my collection.
Post as many as you want, Dan!

..and when I landed a previous of this 'un, Rich contacted me to say that he needed it to complete his run, so I let him take it from me in trade. Took me many years to replace, which suggests that it's unusually scarce.
