Recently, Southern California Comics has become a landing pad for all things comic books. Included in this bounty was an issue of DETECTIVE COMICS#2. Beat but complete (as near as we could tell using Grand Comics Database). It's on its way for grading. The other items of interest were this list of covers:

 

MORE FUN COMICS #11(FC only), #14(FC only), #17(FC only), #19(FC only), #9(FC only) rare as the very first comic book produced in the traditional size, #16 (both covers but detached) including the back page ad for DETECTIVE COMICS #1, and #10(FC only).

NEW COMICS #8(FC only)

THE COMICS MAGAZINE 1(both covers-detached) and includes some interior pages including the Dr.Mystic Occult Detective story, #3(both covers-detached) with some of the interior pages remaining.

I'm asking for opinions on values. A couple of these covers belong to books that are Gerber 9s. They will eventually be sold on our web site if I can generate valid price tags. You can PM me but you are much better off reaching me by e-mail at socalcom@aol.com

Very cool, Jamie. :applause:

 

It's going to be difficult to determine value because these books are so rare, but also because being so rare the need for parts may be minimal.

 

Would you please post here when the items are ultimately listed on your website?
