More Fun Comics #33 (DC, 1938) CGC 4.5 Light tan to Off-White

Gerber rates this issue a "7" or "scarce" on their Scarcity Index, and this copy is one of a few that have been certified by CGC to date.

The cover is by Vin Sullivan, with interior art by Joe Shuster, Bernard Baily, and Bob Kane.

Heritage has sold only three copies and none since 2012.

$525.00

 

Great to see more of these great books Mark! Good pickups for far by everyone! 

Did you all see the John Richard Flanagan original art that sold in the Heritage Auction ending March 7th?  It was some really amazing stuff.  I think these are all from a Fu Manchu story in Colliers.  Didn't score any but wish I did.

Few others I dug up...

Great thread Rick!  Always a pleasure to see what you offer.

Here are a few of my favorite wacky oddball comics. 

Headline 14 - Who dreamed up a war cover featuring a sleigh drawn by giant penguins machine-gunning Japanese forces?  I love it. 

HiHo 2 - The story inside is even weirder and more racist, with a Japanese sub popping out of the river and asking Chief Hotshot how to get to NY so they can bomb it, and him liking their plan and agreeing to guide them.  But then they come upon his love interest Princess Brighteyes and start lusting after her, so then Chief Hotshot decides they are evil after all and kills them all.  What wholesome reading!

Super Dooper 7 - Obvious resemblance to someone we all know and love.  Nothing inside references the weirdos on the cover.  

Echoing Path4play, Otto kindly offered a book I'd long been searching for and delivered it quickly with superior packing.  Top notch seller and boardie!  

One of the more gruesome war covers I've ever seen.  Courtesy of a fellow boardie.  Had a nice meetup with several people on here, always great to connect in person and put a face to a name.

Did you win that one off ebay a few days ago?  I wish I went harder at it

That was a crazy auction on Sunday.  I think they had the whole FF run minus like 3 books.  I lucked out and snagged the #2.  I just had to have a book from 1934.

Appreciate the info!  Interesting to hear there were more out there than what was sold when the estate was broken up.  Also why no certificates.  I had certainly noticed you have had a few recently, great to hear the story behind them.  Weird about the whiteout, but who knows why things happened decades ago.  I hope you have a few more left to sell.

I wonder if anyone has a master list of every known issue going...

And the Action #71 CGC 2.0  from same seller went for $2052.  Strong prices. 

That Planet 27 worried me a bit, looks like Okajima was erased and rewritten.  Is there a master list of these things?  The one I have has a certificate that states they were sold in three lots to three different buyers (sadly mine is a post-camp copy).  Are these others coming with any certificates?  I'm wondering if we reach a point where someone just scribbles "Okajima" and some date code on the cover and sends it in.  At least when getting 8-10X guide.  I hate to voice this concern, but it has been in my mind and I'm really wanting to pull the trigger on a camp copy but getting a little worried at these prices.  

Recent pickup from the LCS.  One of the cooler lab images I've ever seen, Frank R Paul is a wonder.  Apparently VR was invented in the Twenties!
