PovertyRow Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 I've posted this before as far as displaying the collection but some of you might not have seen it.

tth2 Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Then U$ 1 at $ 275 in Fine and $ 1,250 top guide. And yes, guide values here are obviously not reflective of Fair Market Value and all three go for less than guide always. Not in NM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvey Dude Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Let me also start a trivia question: I have purchased 60 of the books for June 1972 (talk about buying stuff you don't want but they are super-cheap). By the time I am done, I will have to purchase 23, yes that's 23 titles that have been continuously published from March 1952 to June 1972. That's 20 years on the shelves. Some have had hiatus of less than a year. Which titles are they? ... There could have been a 24th had Treasure Chest lasted a few more months. I would think Treasure Chest would fall into your parameters. It was published from March 12, 1946 (Volume 1, No. 1) to 8 July 1972 (Volume 27, No. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See the other with the stunning 9.8 Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse are both out because they were as mentioned in FCs at the time (same for $crooge). OK time to confess, I messed up my matches (I had Little Lulu in my 52 file and Marge's Little Lulu in my 72 file for example or World's Finest vs. World's Finest Comics) so there are more than 23 in total; so far, I show a count of 31 (with your help).

verygoodplus Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Here are a few: Superman Tomahawk House of Mystery Strange Adventures Tarzan Tom and Jerry Kid Colt, Outlaw was on hiatus for about a year-and-a-half, so I suppose it's disqualified. Deserves an honorable mention, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verygoodplus Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 One more: Girls' Love Stories The early publishing history of Casper, the Friendly Ghost is a bit convoluted, so I don't know if you're counting that one or not. Several DC war titles (plus eventual DC acquisition, G.I. Combat) are close, but no cigar. Another honorable mention might be Fightin' Marines, which had an early two-year hiatus (after the St. John run), but proved to be one of Charlton's, uh, warhorses.

Scrooge Posted February 21, 2005 Author Share Posted February 21, 2005 Yes I know but somehow I disqualified Sweethearts because the hiatus was too long: last Fawcett was May 1953 and first Charlton was March 1954. I'll have to go back and check how long between the Romantic Story from Fawcett to Charlton to see if we can re-institute Sweethearts. Plus I need to compare with the length of the Kid Colt hiatus.
