Indeed. Although I don’t actually seek most of them out, I rarely see issues before #40. These are just reader hole fillers but at the price I paid, I couldn’t pass on them. I know I will keep my eyes peeled for an upgrade of #38. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was advertised as having a "classic money bin story" and I have yet to read it. After the stroke my hands are still numb and lack feeling, so I've already messed up a couple books by dropping or "jerking" them. Next time I'm having a good day, I'm going to give it a go... it was less than 40 bucks... GOD BLESS ... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) I've acknowledged Barks since the beginning but never "tasted the pudding" until about 15 years ago, when I read Vacation Parade #1 and it was then that I first "got" Barks. Until then he was just another figure in the history of comicdom. I can't get enough now.

OtherEric Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Not directly Duck related, but since Kelly did a lot of the early, classic Duck covers I thought this recent acquisition of mine might interest people here anyway: sfcityduck, jimjum12 and Bigphatpaulie 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what drew three of the top newspaper cartoonists of the day to that event in Boston. Milt went to tOSU, so it wasn't being alumni. And they worked for different syndicates so it wasn't one employer mandating it. OtherEric 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a nice piece, in any case! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigphatpaulie Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 (edited) Three More Heritage Auctions Four Color #29 CGC 7.5 sold for $5520: Last sale was back in May 2021 for $5160. Didn't yet read this one yet but love the cover. I read posts from some Barks Fans saying this is his first real Donald Duck Work https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/cartoon-character/four-color-29-donald-duck-dell-1943-cgc-vf-75-off-white-to-white-pages/a/7374-91072.s?ic16=ViewItem-BrowseTabs-Auction-Archive-ThisAuction-120115 Four Color #386 CGC 9.2 sold for $6300. Last sale was back in April of this year for $4920. This ties with FC #199 as my favorite Barks Cover. Its a 9.2 but I think this is the nicest looking copy I saw. Crossing my fingers to get this for $5500 (put in a max of 6k) but was outbid https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/cartoon-character/four-color-386-uncle-scrooge-dell-1952-cgc-nm-92-white-pages/a/7374-91073.s?ic4=GalleryView-ShortDescription-071515 EDIT: Missed one. Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #1 CGC 5.5 sold for $6600. Last one sold in January of 2023 for $9600. The page quality on this one was lower but I think the major turn-offs here were some nasty tears on the cover and the puzzles were filled out. https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/cartoon-character/walt-disney-s-comics-and-stories-1-dell-1940-cgc-fn-55-off-white-pages/a/7374-91138.s?ic4=GalleryView-Thumbnail-071515 Edited June 20 by Bigphatpaulie Forgot to add another book Badger, tth2 and OtherEric 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
