Duffman_Comics Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Nice book, Andrew, and as long as you brought the subject up, I'll pose the question: What is the most popular method of determining Far Market Value? Completed eBay sales? GPA (I know it is only for graded books)? Comicspriceguide? *cough* Overstreet *cough*? Or a combination thereof? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tb Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Still some way to go but slowly making progress. Not recommended for impatient collectors. Usually, all my books of any value are in safety deposit, but I had these out today and thought I'd share a group shot. I think I have half a dozen more, but they were in storage somewhere else.

AJD Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Still some way to go but slowly making progress. Not recommended for impatient collectors. If you only bought one of each it would go faster. Only kidding - what a lovely group of comics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow Kid Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 These are great books! #9 has always been a personal favorite because it was the first book my older brother could remember reading and it brought tears to eyes when I gave him a reader copy one Christmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

50YrsCollctngCmcs Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Getting ready to head to San Diego for a day or two this week. Right now Wednesday Preview night is on with Busted Flush to look at Golden Age books; then Saturday with the family to attend the Little Lulu fan group meeting. It will probably be our last show as a family due to changing admission guidelines. Luckily, I qualify for a professional pass so I don't have to deal with the lottery like nature of getting tickets these days. I will keep an eye out for early WDCS and Disneys and see what shows up for sale. It is usually slim pickings but every now and then something fun shows up like the book below which I picked up seven or eight years ago. Note the penciled in arrival date at the bottom.

BustedFlush Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 That's one of my favorite books of yours. What ever happened to the 'Slingers Midgets?' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow Kid Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 This was Leonard Brown's favorite WDCS cover, and one of the last five books he still had when he died. Your copy is beautiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tb Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 That's a pretty #13. I used to have a #7 with the same beautiful handwriting which must have been from the same collection, but I can't find a scan. I bought it from "Tomorrow's Treasures" around 10-12 years ago and remember that he had several issues from the same owner back then. Nice book, Andrew, and as long as you brought the subject up, I'll pose the question: What is the most popular method of determining Far Market Value? Completed eBay sales? GPA (I know it is only for graded books)? Comicspriceguide? *cough* Overstreet *cough*? Or a combination thereof? I use eBay, coffee beans, GPA, tarot cards, and the Heritage archives in no particular order. Researching certified books is a lot easier. comixpriceguide (with "x") was an awesome service, but they stopped updating their database last fall.

I bought it from "Tomorrow's Treasures" around 10-12 years ago and remember that he had several issues from the same owner back then. Wow, TB. My book is from the same collection. I also bought it from Rich at Tomorrow's Treasures. I remember trying to figure out which book to buy in that batch; he had about ten or twelve early comics and stories for sale. I finally settled on the #13. It is a beautiful book. I wish I could have bought more but I only have so much comic money each year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bergdoll Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I love the books! I also find the newspaper image on the bottom right funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tb Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Glad the rehashed group shots were popular. I also find the newspaper image on the bottom right funny. . It was 114 degrees (46C) outside on Sunday so I had to get the books in and out very quickly: no time being picky about the setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoinAddict Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I know it is not duck related but I remember reading a discussion of Don Rosa's "The Pertwillaby Papers" and "Captain Kentucky" in here so I thought I would share the indiegogo campaign that is currently underway. Don Rosa Classics They are offering hardback copies of either "The Pertwillaby Papers" or "Captain Kentucky" for $35 or $70 for the pair. Just thought a few of you might be interested in case you hadn't seen it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montrealfilmguy Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Ok fine believers of Barks. Youve won ! I now have a huge headache from the posting of those books,and have now added the words Barks books to my already cosmic-sized want list. I hate you all,but then again, ilove you all also. Any great books on Barks i should read first ? I was raised on Disney books and records as a child,so those memories will never ever leave me. And ive been collecting Disney records and Disneyland stuff now. I hope you people are happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And ive been collecting Disney records and Disneyland stuff now. I hope you people are happy. Welcome aboard. I'd apologise, but I think this is a good thing for you. My picks for you would be: Any of the first ten Uncle Scrooge title (FC 386 through to Uncle Scrooge 10) - no duds in that lot. Donald Duck one-shots in Four Color: Lost in the Andes (223) Christmas for Shacktown (267) Luck of the North (256) The WDC&S 10 page stories are definitely not second rate either - some of those are wonderful. A few favourites of mine are Money Bin Tornado (WDC&S 126) - might be my favourite barks story - Marharaja of Howdoyoustan (138) and Omelet (141?) And lots more - just jump in.
