i was hoping to win this lot

[jmg3637]

it sure looked like it had quite a few great early 4 color's hidden in the list.

 

interesting golden age listing

 

 

I always like to find misidentified books in auctions like a green lantern 22.

 

unforntunately I could not be around for the close and got snipped

[jmg3637]

if anyone was looking through the listing of books there were at least a dozen books identified as "andy Pandy 25" which was really his first appearance in Four Color 25. Also alley OOP # 3 the Gumos # 73 Marge and little LULU # 74

 

were all first appearances. and the reluctant dragon is also a rare book

Yup, pretty cool. Steal-a-comic will be breaking that up and you'll see them all back on ebay soon. He could probaby get most of his money back just on the Lulu if it is indeed in "excellent" condition.

[#@$%!!!] shoot at $1800 --- $25 a book

 

some goodies in there, but also a lot of so so stuff that may not fetch $5-10, particularly if it's not in top shape

 

a lot will depend on condition

 

definitely room for a nice profit if some of the good stuff is in nice shape

 

but does anyone really care about andy panda's first?

Not really, the big books where the Lulu and the Bark Mickey Mouse FC

The four color 13 rarely turns up in nice shape. I have a copy with a detached cover. Those early four colors are just damn near impossible in higher grades. The Reluctant Dragon had a great cover and some cool pictures of Walt Disney on the inside doing some production work on some project.

"Those early four colors are just damn near impossible in higher grades."

 

Exactly. Can't tell what the grade is from this auction. Pig in a poke situation. Could do great, could do mediocre.

 

Does it all add up to more than $1800 though?

[jmg3637]

I saw about half a dozen books that were likely to be worth at least $100 in good condition and maybe $500 in VF. I am about 100 miles away from the seller so I was trying to work out driving up to inspect and purchase the books in person.

 

The pics were pretty mediocre, but if the books were untouched for 40+ years they could have been in very nice condition.

 

My Daughter is a big Panda Collector so I try to get her the Andy's when I can. I got her the # 25 for about 50 a year or so ago.

Don't forget the Archie #4

Only problem is the seller said the Archie #4 was a tad brittle in the Q&A...

I think it might be a little high, but if the FC13 and 74 are nice, ya never know
