tb Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 This issue (first Barks cover) is extraordinarily difficult to find in nice shape. The census still only has 2 copies above 7.5. For some reason, people appear to be submitting "first appearance" issues (88 and 98), which are valued highly in Overstreet, far more frequently than the rest. To me, that trend is so last century: #95 is an excellent example of a book that would be in even higher demand if it ever came up for sale. Sadly, it does not. Here's four of my favorite high grade duck books: [...] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tri-Color Brian Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 So...yer sayin' it's a good'n aye? Hmmm. You know, I've had that book since early 1977. I bought it at a now defunct Des Moines, Iowa comic shop for $20. I have no idea how it stayed so nice and fresh looking after going thru about 8 moves over the years...

Sqeggs Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Just going through some of my books and stumbled on this one. Among my favorite handful of Barks covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow Kid Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 This is such a great cover because it is so easy to identify with. I still remember sneaking my dogs into bed as a child. Heck, over 13 years ago I had to sneak our new black lab puppy into bed with us and it has slept with us ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) This is such a great cover because it is so easy to identify with. I still remember sneaking my dogs into bed as a child. Heck, over 13 years ago I had to sneak our new black lab puppy into bed with us and it has slept with us ever since. Our dog, a collie, used to sneak on the bed and take up a huge space at the foot of the bed when she slept. The cats would try to sleep on the pillows. The kids were happy to have their own beds when they were still preschool but the animals never changed. Edited March 1, 2014 by BB-Gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tri-Color Brian Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Do you own the Gerber's? If not, you should buy them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50YrsCollctngCmcs Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Do you own the Gerber's? If not, you should buy them. Yes, but I mean seeing it for sale at a convention. I bought the Gerber books from Ernie himself in San Diego many years ago and discovered when I gave him my credit card he had gone to the grammar school named for my Great Grandfather. Interesting coincidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tri-Color Brian Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 You gotta love those little coincidence's. I admit, I'm ignorant when it comes to how many of that issue are out there in high grade. I don't look for it, because I already have one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HouseofComics.Com Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Ran across this ad for the SHELBY DONALD DUCK BIKE...never saw one. (From JOE PALOOKA COMICS #39 12/49 mm I've never seen one either but I actually know where one is in a guy's garage in Fremont, CA. I'll go see it sometime, most likely.

tb Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Got this book from the William Norval Craig collection last year along with #1-3 (which I posted in a previous thread). I tried to get several other issues (7,8, 12, ...), but was outbid. Oh well, guess I just have to be patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellow Kid Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 It is nice when the rarest of the three books is also the highest graded copy! These are such beautiful books and I am glad that you got them all from the same collection of an old-timer who bought them at Collectors Bookstore.
