The 123 looks ridiculously undergraded. Might be something on the back, but that is one clean 123... I agree.

It's always great to see some of those more obscure covers. (thumbs u

Cool! The intro of Abra Kadabra! (thumbs u

, no I am aware of several people with complete runs, although not in high grade But yours are in generally really nice grade, and that counts for something!

I wonder if that already makes you the foremost Sugar and Spike collector in the world?

It would certainly be interesting to compare the availability of Amazing Fantasy 15 to that of any of the other comics published that same month: Mike's Amazing World of Comics August 1962 Newstand The only other comic that might even be in the same ballpark when it comes to availability would be the Journey into Mystery 83.

Oh wow! Nice run!

Well high prices do indeed bring out the supply. That phenomenon is very obvious to anyone trying to amass runs of low dollar comics.

The Marvel Universe that Stan Lee was creating was already so popular in the marketplace by 1965 that far more copies of Marvel comics were being put away carefully by collector enthusiasts than were comics published by Marvel's competitors. Just how many Marvel keys are really out there is the $64,000 question.

I suspect that there could be quite a few more high grade copies out there somewhere than most members on this board suspect. Quite simply I don't believe that the members of this board as a group are a statistically representative sample of the universe of comic collectors. Those collectors least inclined to consider slabbing their collections are also much less likely to be interested in joining this forum where so much of the discussions concerns various facets of slabbing and the comics that have been slabbed. Therefore being more heavily exposed to the subset of collectors more inclined to slab their comics would tend to cause the members of this board to think that a greater proportion of the universe of existing comics has been slabbed. After all, it's a common trait for people to generalize from their own personal experience.

I'd call them honest but not necessarily accurate guesstimates on Gerber's part. I mean what else can anybody do but guesstimate?

Good spot! And why not rip yourself off? Who's to complain?

Nice spot!

Charlton was certainly not above recycling covers. Here's a scan of my Konga's Revenge 3 from 1964: And here is Charlton's reissued Konga's Revenge 1 from 1968:

Here are scans of five more of my Famous Monsters of Filmland magazines:

Ra's Al Ghul definitely! He just slipped my mind, that's all.

Here are scans of five more of my Vampirella magazines:

Yes indeed! Swan's Batman covers look quite a bit different than Sheldon Moldoff's.

Mr. Zero would I think just barely make the top ten. Off the top of my head there's: Joker Catwoman Penguin Riddler Scarecrow Poison Ivy Two Face Clayface

Here are scans of five more of my Creepy magazines:

Great stuff! That's a really cool cover regardless of how "key" it is. (thumbs u

You bet they fit! Great spot!

Here are scans of my ten favourite Hawkman covers from my collection:

True indeed! The Atlas insignia was dropped in 1959. (thumbs u
