KING of JOKERS Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Try contacting Jerry Weist to see if it was part of the Barks' estate that he auctioned off. As you know from buying some of those books (if memory serves me), they normally would have a certificate but it could have been lost. Here's my latest: Congrads on the pick up. A classic and one of my favorites. I too just finally added one this year. - Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 These seven just arrived from CGC today. "Son of the Sun" "Son of the Sun" is One of my favorites too. Rosa and Byrne kept me laughing and google eyed when I couldn't afford to buy golden age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I like these early WDCS covers and my Starbucks in the morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJD Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 "Son of the Sun" is One of my favorites too. Rosa and Byrne kept me laughing and google eyed when I couldn't afford to buy golden age. This is the book that got me back into collecting comics. I'd given up for well over a decade until I saw it in the local newsagent. I am very grateful to Don Rosa for picking up Barks' baton.

AJD Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Got another 1945 WDC&S. I bought this on ebay and it turned up exactly as graded. Of course, it turned out that the seller was a fellow boardie. Thanks Mark! Colours are better in hand than I could get with the scanner - the shading from medium to light blue is especially nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tth2 Posted August 3, 2009 Author Share Posted August 3, 2009 I was tracking the 9.6 WDCS 132 auction that just ended on Heritage's weekly auction, and was startled by the price history on this issue, demonstrating how big an impact even a little supply of HG copies can have on prices: Aug 8 2008: CGC 9.4 copy sold for $2151 (granted, this was a crazy price) Feb 27 2009: CGC 9.8 copy sold for $1075.50 (half of the previous 9.4 sale price!) Aug 2 2009: CGC 9.6 copy sold for $418.25 As far as I could tell, none of these were pressed or resubbed copies of the same book, although it would've been pretty hilarious if the buyer of the 9.4 copy had way overpaid in anticipation of maximing the potential of the book, achieved his wildest dreams by pressing it into a 9.8 and then proceeded to realize 50% less.

Is this a reflection of a bigger supply of HG? Or is it the possible exit/satiation of 1 or 2 Euro Duck collectors? This isn't the first time we've seen sales values fall precipitously from the 2008 levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comics-n-ERB Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I love it. (thumbs u What's the date on that? Not at home, but I think it is 1938, not sure of the month. If I remember correctly this is the first Donald Duck Comic.?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-1 Comics-migration Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I thought the Duck lovers might appreciate these. The original owner had Carl Barks sign each of them on the interior cover margin. He is giving up his Duck collection a bit at a time. It is also interesting to note that in the latest heritage Auction a MOC #41 in 9.2 is listed as the Highest Graded while here is one in 9.4! Enjoy! Brian Peets, A-1 Comics, Sacramento.
