Mr.Fantastic Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I was slowly scrolling looking at #5 then got to the bottom and said Wow! LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. 2 has a little bit of a spine split at the top that you can't see, but I think it would be balanced, grade-wise, by its overall great condition.

Neither have I. Looks like I can't get away from a re-colored TFTC 29. Anyway, here are the two under copies I can make available. Ideally wouldn't mind trading for a reader grade (G, G/VG, VG) copy of Vault 27. OtherEric, Foxtrot70, Mmehdy and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went online looking for old issues of Mad and ended up searching the website of a guy dealing in rare books and magazines. He had some decent Mad's from the '50s, but was asking way too much for them. Was about to surf outta there, when I noticed he also had Panic #5 listed -- for way too little. Kept scrolling and saw that he had #4, #2 and #1, all for the same ridiculously low price. It was weird, because he clearly understood the value of Mad, but seemed to have no idea what he had with these Panic issues (who am I to correct him?). I bought all four for the equivalent of about half the cost of a CGC premium membership! They just arrived today... Panic really is just painfully underrated. A quick glance shows me at least a dozen issues on the bay under $20 with shipping right this minute. So while there's no doubt you got a deal, particularly with the #1 and #2, what you paid doesn't surprise me much Enjoy the books!.

Have to say, though, this was unusual, even by the bay's standards: the prices I paid ranged from $31 for the #1 to $10 for #5....so I'm happy!
