Socratic Wonder

Sure. I've been crazy busy at work, but I've already done these so it's not a hard cut-and-paste. I will put a caveat out there: These are preliminary. For books with so few available copies, the rankings can get skewed by 1 or 2 additional sightings, and I haven't fully explored all available data sources. But here's the first effort. When I actually start a thread dedicated solely to scarcity, as a repository of all of these rankings, the numbers will likely be a little different. The format is Title, Issue Number, Relative Scarcity Ranking. New Comics......................1................17 New Comics......................2................24 New Comics......................3................28 New Comics......................4................23 New Comics......................5................21 New Comics......................6................21 New Comics......................7................20 New Comics......................8................20 New Comics......................9................14 New Comics......................10..............22 New Comics......................11..............15 New Adventure Comics.....12..............23 New Adventure Comics.....13..............25 New Adventure Comics.....14..............24 New Adventure Comics.....15..............26 New Adventure Comics.....16..............20 New Adventure Comics.....17..............25 New Adventure Comics.....18..............21 New Adventure Comics.....19..............12 New Adventure Comics.....20..............14 New Adventure Comics.....21..............20 New Adventure Comics.....22..............24 New Adventure Comics.....23..............26 New Adventure Comics.....24..............17 New Adventure Comics.....25..............24 New Adventure Comics.....26..............25 New Adventure Comics.....27..............30 New Adventure Comics.....28..............21 New Adventure Comics.....29..............19 New Adventure Comics.....30..............20 New Adventure Comics.....31..............13 As you can see, I think the two toughest books are New Comics #3 and New Adventure #27. Ian's brutal search for New Adventure #26 actually has led to a few copies appearing more recently, and I no longer believe that's the toughest New Adventure. I believe my numbers for New Adventure #13 and #15 are wrong, based on anecdotal comments from knowledgeable collectors, and I'm working to get more data on those. Feedback is welcomed and encouraged. I also want to thank Stephen Fishler for his support for what I'm trying to do and suggestions about how to make the final data more useful. To have a major industry expert like him discussing this project with me was very energizing. How is your scarcity project going Win?

I think you might need to upgrade to a nice 9.6 Bowling Green copy! That is one nice 9.4 though....the northland copies are some of the best!

This book is available in the Marketplace! http://boards.collectors-society.com/sho...e=0#Post1881003
