Ft Mac is like the Wild West during the gold rush

 

He probably needs that kind of money to pay his rent up there

If you're going to ask for five MILLION dollars for something, isn't proper grammar and spelling just supposed to be a GIVEN...?

 

Lame.

 

My Lord, people are lame.

And he's a keyword spammer, i.e. dooshbag loser. This book was listed to get people to look at his other auctions, and I doubt he even owns the thing, considering he's using old Heritage scans

[Fantastic Thor]

The ashcans have a heritage logo on the bottom ??

Thanks kinda strange ....

[archiefan]

Just asked if he had mutiples. Told him I would be interested if he could combine shipping

[Bo_Hogg]

I just told him I was interested in all 3 but if I could pick them up in person because the shipping is too high on these books.

[Mark 1]

Ask him if he will throw in the special Borack Obama Spiderman if you buy two ashcans...

Actually, it is a legit sale. The owner contacted me earlier this year to discuss ashcans.

 

I definitely think they are worth that much. Actually, I would have listed them as "priceless" but ebay doesn't allow it. (thumbs u

 

Legal disclaimer: Yea, yea, I have copies of each of those books.

I too believe strongly that they are as valuable as the seller claims, and hope he sells all 3 issues quickly.

 

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I own copies too...

I just want to know why they so rare.

Gary, and Mark, and this guy, and who knows who else?

 

It's always funny to read about something that's supposed to be rare and then a bunch of people on these boards pipe up that they have a copy.

just that very few copies were printed back in the days...ashcans were used to secure naming rights/copyrights of comics...so, they didn't produce them for "mass consumption"

they only need to print a few copies

Well, I wouldn't go that far. These are "rare" in the sense of the number of copies that do exist.

 

The census Gary and put together had them as follows:

 

5 Cent Comics (Fawcett – February, 1940) – 2

Flash Comics # 1 (DC – December, 1939) – 6

Nickel Comics NN (Fawcett – February, 1940) – 2

 

But those numbers are wrong on the 5 Cent and Nickels. Not sure why we didn't update it. I would say there are probably 3-6 copies of each, which would be consistent with other Fawcett ashcans. Very few have ever shown up outside of the original Fawcett purchase in the early 1980s.
