Where did you sell them and about how much were you able to get for a copy. Certainly some great reading in them. I first sold a few of the cheaper ones on eBay, but put a slip in the packages with an email address for follow-on sales. I priced them using the MCS site. I figure Australian customers still get a discount because the postage is much cheaper than from the US. Seems I was right because they all went pretty quickly. 50YrsCollctngCmcs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellow Kid Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Over the past several years, a lot of the Barks classic covers and paintings have been reproduced on canvas, sometimes even with a change in the coloring scheme. Recently I saw a variation of the cover for FC 238 that was so attractive that I couldn't resist it. Sqeggs, dikran and AJD 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sqeggs Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 There's been a noticeable spurt in the prices of high-grade books with Barks covers for which he didn't do the interior art. Not sure whether it's two bidder competing for highest graded copies, but those issues used to, I think, be considered clearly in the second rank and typically sold at a discount. For instance, I bought this some years ago for significantly less than I probably would have had to pay for an FC with Barks interior art in a lower grade.
