funny Stuff #6

[hoshishoju-migration]

Hey, I recently ran accross a copy of Funny Stuff #6 in G maybe low VG condition. What would be a good purchase price for it?

 

I don't normally purchase Golden Age stuff, but it's a beauty, and I would love to pick it up and get it graded.

Why would you possibly consider spending $30 to have it graded??? Guide in GD is $21. Buy it for $10-15, read it, enjoy it, and let it run free.

Issue #5 might be worth it, as that is the all Sheldon Mayer issue, but then again, almost everyone who would want it would just crack the slab anyway.

 

I can't see any reason to grade #6 in the condition you describe.

I would grade it so that I don't have to worry about people coming in and out of the shop ruining it.

But,............nevermind!

I am putting together a "type" collection for the wall in my shop. I am trying to include as many "genres" of comics as I can, and for preservation purposes I am having them all slabbed. I got the funny stuff for $10, and I am getting it ready to send off now. The wall isn't for investment purposes. It's an educational tool for the seemingly endless stream of young collectors in the area.

Just wanted to compliment you on your fine idea! And I'm happy to hear that you have a lot of young folks coming into your store. Educating new readers about the history of comics will definitely benifit the hobby in the long-run. It might be good if you could keep a few inexpensive un-slabbed "genre" comics around too so some of those youngsters can read the comics as well as seeing the covers.

I have lots of Silver and Bronze age stuff (it's my bread and butter) and most of the modern stuff. I just don't have gold age.

This educational wall sounds cool! You might want to think about buying some of those Bill Cole UV-protecting display cases if you're going to hang some pricey books up. I've never used them, but have heard they work pretty well. Too many comic shops ruin their greatest books by leaving them on a wall unprotected and exposing them to light damage.

 

Please post a pic when you get your wall up and running!

Sounds like a good idea. I will have to do that. Thanks for the compliments.
