Ron was never known for his low prices... That reminds me. I should give him a call. Haven’t talked to him since shut down. One of us old dinosaurs from the early days. He has amazing stories. I finally got him to come on the boards for a while then he just stopped posting. Well the $90 into it was part trade. In 1978 I picked up a nice Challengers of the Unknown #1 for $40 from the original owner along with a trove of pretty duck four colors. In the mid nineties at SDCC I offered it in trade to Redbeard for the 108; he asked for $50 on top which I threw in to get to $90 cash. I guess more if you throw in inflation but that's no fun. I think he was asking $400 or so at the time for the duck book.. Funny thing is that Challenger #1 languished on his display for many many years. I used to stop by to say hi!! Ha ha!

50YrsCollctngCmcs Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I really would love to see a 9.8 or 9.6 Uncle Scrooge 386 come to market in this environment. You'd have to think it would sail well past $10K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They peaked in the mid-$20ks back in 2006-07 and in subsequent years you could find 9.4 copies for around $10k. Seems like Ducks are back! comicdonna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimjum12 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I was fortunate to be doing shows in the early 90's when a lot of these File Copies were circulating.... I've still got a few salted away. This one always eluded me. There's just nothing quite like a Dell Giant in mintish condition. From what I understood, there weren't tons of this one, as Disneyland absorbed them without much trouble. This is just what I heard. To me, this is a magical era ... perfectly stradling the Atomic and Silver Ages. The world needed a Disneyland then, and it was right on time.
