Brother J

What's everyone's experience with the easiest to find book in $1 and below boxes? I can only go by my stuff and I only started looking about 6 months ago, but I have seven Jonny Quest 5, five Alien Worlds 4 (although 4 came out of the same box), and five Crossfire & Rainbow 4. I dont have anything else in quantity more than 3 from the cheapies.

Alien Worlds #2 and #4 have been very easy for me, a dealer at the last show I was at had multiple copies of both in his .50 boxes, I bought all the ones that were in decent condition. Planet Comics #1 has been plentiful in recent months, as well.

I finally got some Deitch art in the last ComicLink auction. Does anyone have any info on this exhibit, like what year?, or a scan of the published piece? Thanks.

 

Hey Mike, actually it looks like this was not just a poster but also the front cover to a collection of underground art (maybe from an exhibit) published by S.K. Jonefsberg Studio in Portland, OR in 1995. Here is an image of the finished art.

 

Cheers,

Tom

 

 

Thanks Tom! I knew someone could do it! Now I just have to find a copy for sale.

one was just listed on eBay (not my listing)

Iron Man #282

Azrael #100

It's not a Feds N' Heads first print. On a scan posted in another thread, the 35 cent cover price was visible.

The Feds n' Heads pictured in the above picture is definitely a first print, you can tell from the colors of the border, as they go from orange to yellow to green. All other printings have the top color as a purple-red mix

I was watching this auction, and would have placed a bid if it hadn't gone past $20. I have a LOT of Stevens stuff, all of it rescued from cheap bins and boxes. However, I have never encountered this book in my years of looking for this stuff, so this is one I wouldn't balk at paying a little more for.

See! Everybody finds DNAgents but me! Great find!

 

Maybe Brother J will be nice and sell one of his copies to you.

sure, not a problem, these are my 2nd and 3rd copies of this book, so I wouldn't mind parting with one.

Dave Stevens goodies picked up at the local Philly show today, all $1 or less (most were less)

is there any concensious as to the rarest? not graded, just overall hardest to find

I'd go with the Iger Comics Kingdom book. Never saw one of those, other than the overpriced copy on eBay.

Now that the experts are here, Are there any issues in this run that are particularly hard to find in high grade?

 

#6 is definitely a bugger.

I picked up a copy of #6 from Lone Star for a decent price, they graded it as an 8.5, but I feel it was very undergraded, I feel it's easily a 9.4. Wouldn't have even thought about picking up this issue until I saw a discussion about it on this board a while ago.

picked up a copy of Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters 3-D #4 2-D version from Lone Star. Always wanted to have one of the 2-D books and was always hoping I would find one in a cheap bin somewhere, but never did.

Way to go Steve, that's a keeper!

definitely!

I've got a small hoard of BS #9 1st prints, but I doubt any of them would get a 9.4. Might have to double check that, though.

I was wondering if someone here could help me with pricing out two undergrounds. They are not in the Overstreet guide and there were no recent sales that I was able to find on the internet, like here or on ebay. I did locate one in an online store but I think they are asking crazy prices. Someone here told me these were just common issues so I don't want to list them at stupid prices. If someone can help me out that will be great.

 

Dope Comix 5

Bizarre Sex 9 (first printing) I am not selling this one but was curious and would like to mark it on my spreadsheet.

 

I can post scans too. Why are these listed in a different guide? There is an underground that I was looking for but I have no idea what a fair price is for it.

 

Thanks I appreciate any help.

a raw copy of Bizarre Sex 9 1st printing just went for $98! It was graded 9.6. There seems to be a major upswing of interest in this book:

Dope Comix #5 always seemed to be one of the toughest issues of that series to find. The Omaha the Cat Dancer collectors may also be bringing up the price on this one with her appearance in this issue.

Sorry I wasn't able to help with any actual prices, any of the underground comix price guides are going to have outdated prices, anyway.

how about the xombie platinum?

I don't think any of them are that rare, currently there are seven copies of Xombi Platinum, seven copies of Hardware Platinum and five copies of Static Platinum listed on eBay.

This is pretty damn tough. Hardware 1 Platinum retailer variant:

 

hmm, not sure it's THAT tough, I have two of them, without really ever looking to acquire them. The Static Platinum seems even easier to come by.

Kudos to EggsAckley

For a big box of well packaged, SWEET Cherry's

(thumbs u

Same here, kudos to Howard (EggsAckley) for the trade which helped me complete my first print set of Cherry!

apexnov I believe is his eBay handle.

That's right, it used to be spelled out, changed in recent months.

Here are a couple that I picked up last week. Both are said to be first prints (almost certain the WW #1 is, still not sure about the SFC #2). The SFC #2 is about a 9.4/9.6 and the WW #1 is a 9.6 with an outside shot at 9.8.

 

 

There were five printings of the San Francisco Comic #2, but since they are all exactly the same, they are all considered first prints in the underground comix collecting community. I assume you probably bought these from Don Donahue (apexnovelties) as these are books he regularly lists on eBay.

A big Thanks to the following for participating in my recent sales thread.
