This is such an underappreciated run for exactly that reason. Maybe it is too eclectic for most people's tastes, but that is one of the draws for me. I am scanning my books currently so I will add as I go along.

i love the variety of the four colors. thanks for sharing scans of your collection!

are we going in numerical order? so the next book would be fc 51...

in hindsight i probably got a fair deal for the MOC 69 although i think then my FC282 was valued slightly higher than the MOC 69. my first choice was to get another barks one-shot but the dealer didn't have any. i wasn't thinking of scarcity then but i just wanted more barks ducks. now that i'm looking i see quite a few MOC 69s even though i think it's not too common. aren't there a lot of poughkeepsie file copies of every western publishing comic out there?

i think a complete set of march of comics is possible since there are file copies out there. recently i saw bound sets of a continuous run of four color comics at an auction house. so conceivably one could acquire a full set of MOC this way if one is so inclined.

thanks all for the welcoming. after reading through 60+ pages of this thread this weekend, i thought this might be the right place to find some more info on my one of my books from all you knowledgeable duck collectors.

i traded a four color 282 in VG for this march of comics 69 about FN many years ago. initially i thought it was one of the holy grails- a barks march of comics since i've never seen this issue before and i didn't have my guide right then. i felt i got the short end of the trade deal shortly after discovering it was not a barks issue. i stored the book away but reasoned i would find another FC282 before i would find another MOC 69. i eventually got another FC282 but i've only seen one or two copies of MOC 69 at cons and ebay but i wasn't looking hard. my questions are what were the circulation numbers for march of comics overall and how common is this issue. the gerber photojournal gives a scarcity index of 4 which is the same as for the donald one-shots for this period. wikipedia says moc issues were not common. my copy is a variant compared to the gerber copy which has the red goose logo. thanks for any info!

test posting

found this board recently. i have been admiring all the high grade ducks and learning a lot of info from the previous postings.

posting one cover as a test.
