Yellow Kid Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Diamond had a special party for coin collectors when the ANA was meeting in Baltimore, which featured a display of 1913 Liberty Head nickels, to encourage comic collecting by coin collectors. They had a package of several gifts for attendees, one of which was a CGC graded copy of Donald Duck Adventures Maharajah Donald. I didn't attend but received one of the gift packages and it was very impressive. Naturally there were lots of Uncle Scrooge items in the package.

AJD Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Months after buying them, I finally got these in hand. Very pleased with how they present for their mid grades. They're both tight to the staple(s) too. This week on ebay Australia there's an absolute duck grail of mine coming up... (No one else here will care. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitting the floor in San Diego tomorrow; it is usually light on ducks but every now and then a surprise awaits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

50YrsCollctngCmcs Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Earlier this year I picked up a few WDCS from Mr. Bedrock that walked in his store from an original owner collection. Those books were so nice that when I spotted some of the Mickey Four Colors from that collection at SDCC yesterday I knew I had to reunite at least one of those with its duck buddies. Here's what I picked up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellow Kid Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Great book! The MM series has some beautiful covers and stories, but they always seem to get overlooked (except The Phantom Blot) because Barks was so great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yecul Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 This might be a tough question, but is there an idea of FMV for a copy of Four Color 29 that's bound? One's up for sale. I generally prefer the unbound copy and all that, but am drawn to this one. It's just the single issue bound. I have no idea what would be a good price to pay. FMV might be more than I'd want to go on it. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FMV might be more than I'd want to go on it. Thoughts? I saw that too but the pictures kind of bug me because they are all partials. Anyway, might be an interesting way to get into this book for a low price. I don't know FMV but I wouldn't want to drop more than $300. and probably less.

yecul Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Yeah, I contacted him about it and while the response basically answered my question it wasn't very expansive. It's a cool book and I'd probably pay the price right now, but agree that it'll wind up going higher and I don't think I'm up for that. Still... not going to find that book for cheap.

None of these are pricey compared to any Captain America or All Select comics and are easier to find than Mystic or Daring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yecul Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Very true, it's all relative. Some of our budgets are smaller than others though. Just not sure I want a bound copy. It's very cool and all that, but I'd probably still feel like I didn't have the comic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very cool and all that, but I'd probably still feel like I didn't have the comic. When I was twelve-fourteen I built up a collection of duck four colors out of the Buyer's Guide and at the New York Shows for probably $5 or less apiece. I still have most of them but have upgraded all of them over the years. In retrospect it was a great way to get into collecting vintage Barks. You could consider this the same way and upgrade later when your budget allows; while the book is currently bound it certainly started life as the genuine article!!

I used to have a gorgeous copy that I sold to Fat Jack's Comicrypt in the Summer of '89(to purchase Batman comics, of course). The copy I had was so nice that I wonder if it was a pedigree.

That may have worked out for you. The prices of Four Colors were high compared to the Batman comics. Since then the price of Batman comics has gone out of sight. Was that the Comicrypt near City Line? I used to visit the bagel shop near there after buying my comics. They had terrific bagels and I enjoyed eating them and reading my comics from Fat Jack's. Never met Jack though. Did he exist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
