These are just incredible books, RHG. Thanks for posting! (thumbs u

 

Anymore?

I have lots more. Any in particular that you'd like to see?

#32 and #34

personally i find the NA16 cover the most boring of the lot.

not that i don't like it, but compared to the other real 'adventure' covers, it pales.

New adventure comics for sale.

issues #19, 20, 21, 23 and 25.

nice!

that's a pretty busy FC...

Books like the New Adventure 29 became even more amazing to me after I looked in the census statistics recently. I was surprised to find that CGC only has graded 31 books from the 1930s 9.6 or higher. Looking at the available circulation data, the total number of comic books published in the 1930s must have been 50-100 million so, at least so far, the survival rate literally looks like 1 in a million (at best). Hopefully more near mint 1930s books have been saved somewhere. With valiantman's help, I was able to obtain a list of the 93 unrestored 1930s books that have been graded CGC 9.4 or higher. Of the 80 books for which I was able to trace the provenance, almost 50 were from the Church collection. Perhaps the biggest surprise to me was how poorly all other pedigrees were represented: the ones that did best were the Denver, Allentown and Crescent City collections which had 1-2 books each. I was not able to identify a single San Francisco copy.

 

For comparison, the census has 241 books in 9.4+ from 1940 alone and 109 of those are in 9.6 up.

all the more reason to why RHG's collection is so AMAZING.

peter, you are a machine!!!

correct again sir!

thanks peter!

the 13 is a gerber 10, right?

As a run...the early "More Fun" books would have to be considered more difficult. I think some of the Adventure books we never see very often on the Boards (and rare) would be the "New Comics" and earlier "New Adventure Comics" with the previous style logo that preceded issue #15. Who has copies of those?? I for one, would love to see a few scans of those books.

 

Edit: Talking about "New Adventure" here...not the Double-Action #2.

Which ones would you like to see?

na12 and 13 please.

as my run will only consist of issues 12-39 my only contribution to your request is this beautiful #14

 

 

That's what I'm talking about.....

 

Here's a book you don't see every often...beautiful.....thanks for posting Swapto!!!!!

Looks better than the label says. Where's the group shot?

as soon as the na26 comes into australia from comiclink (thumbs u

hey brian

i was one of the people who made an offer to bruce from ebay with the na26.

even though my offer was very strong he decided to go with comiclink. they must of been very persuasive

i agree that na26 may not be as rare as once was, but it is still a RARE book. no if or buts about it.

pm sent!

when was there one on ebay?

never seen that one before.

cool.

Is rarity (and the Action 1 ad) really that critical when determining value on these two that closed tonight:

 

New Adventure Comics #18, CGC Universal 3.5 = $638

 

New Adventure Comics #26, CGC Universal 1.0 = $7,956

That and the fact that NA 26 is one of the most highly sought after covers by Flessel.

 

one of MY biggest regrets was selling the NA26 8.0SP copy (2 twice )

 

so i HAD to win this! :banana:

 

 

Aha! So you're the one who won the book.. I was actually the underbidder and lost Congrats on a nice pick-up! Glad it went to a boardie

 

So is this really THE toughest DC book?

nope, not by a long shot...there are lots of tougher books, but in much less collected titles (buzzy, funny stuff, comic calvacade, etc)...ever since Ian publicized this issue so much, I bet we have seen 6-10 copies trade hands... jus sometimes takes some big $ to make folks shake some out (all this my opinion of course)

 

Rick, in your opinon, what is the toughest single DC (other than ashcans)? Would Double Action 2 be up there?

 

even though your question was directed at rick i would like to say that DA2 would not be up there. i have seen and had access to 3 copies in the last couple of years.

 

if you are not including ashcans, giveaways and cover variants - some DC books i have not seen too many of for sale include:

tec3 + 5

MF35 + 40 + 45

new adventure 12 + 13 + 15

Double Action #2 is one book where there is a fairly well known total population with all but a couple coming from Sol Harrison's estate, right?

 

I suspect all the other scarce books would show up in greater quantities if there was a price rise and some publicity. DA #2 already sells for a very high price and has been well-publicized and we still don't seem to be increasing the population beyond what was known 10 - 15 years ago.

that is true.

i suspect that there may be two to three times more of the DC books i mentioned above in collections at present compared to DA2 copies.

just fewer of them have come to sale.

there are even those of us just excited to be looking at a jpeg of a scan of one

i believe Win has the complete run...

paging RHG!!!!

pre hero more fun comics are SUPER rare. it would be very difficult to put a run together.

saying that i would think it is 'on par' with new adventure/adventure.

Amazing--a few years ago, Ian would`ve walked on burning coals to find a copy of NA 26. Now it can be bought on Comiclink.

ian paid $8000 for his VG copy. i think it was from harley yee...

other than the copy on heritage back in 2006 the comiclink copy is the only copy i have seen come to public auction.

group shot coming soon...
