Show your comics that should be rare in Overstreet but isn't

Most of the later Fox hero books are pretty tough, but this one has to take the cake. Other than mine & Jon Berk's, in 7 years I've only seen one other copy.

Wow. Thought I'd seen (and had) every Hitler cover, but that was the first time I'd ever laid eyes on even a picture of that one

Other than mine (the one below) and the one scanned on GCD I've never seen another copy of this:

Doesn't seem like it should be a difficult book to find though. (shrug)

 

I've owned 2 in the past two years. Sold them around Guide.

They're out there. I think #4 was the only one I had trouble finding:

This book is indeed rare as is Eagle 4 and some mid teen Fantastics

 

...and this one which is off the beaten track

The 7 is even tougher than the 13. I've seen about 4 or 5 13's, I've only seen 2 7's. The 7 also has paper dolls with Matt Baker artwork on them.

 

The GCE Romances nn's shown in CBM are even tougher. The Fox book My Secret Life 27 isn't easy to find either.

Isn't the 7 a rebound too? I don't think I've seen the Matt Baker paper dolls. Was this from a particular issue? I'd have to agree with you about the 7. I'm on the look out for one but you rarely see them.

I'm not sure. I think they all were.

I posted a scan of the cover and (I think) the paper dolls a while back.

I don't know if those dolls were from a reprint or what.

 

I sold the issue off a couple of years ago for a happy amount.

They used my scan for the Grand Comic Database.

Comic Heaven had one in their mail auction. That's the only other copy I know of.

Since it is a rebound, the paper dolls should be in an issue. If you come across which issue, I'd be interested to know. Thanks! I remember your auction on ebay. I agree, very scarce issue.

You may be pulling our leg, but I disagree. In fact that is the easiest copy of the Thing to get. If I remember correctly there was a big find of that specific issue. Shouldn't be hard to find in the higher grades.

:blush: I thought he might.

I think the only golden age book more common than that may be Major Inapak The Space Ace #1. Or maybe some of those Classic Illustrated's.
