Also, the Kotter one was tough for me to find in VF or better. But my biggest pain so far is trying to find a NM of FFE Batman # 1. Finding a clean white front cover along with a non color breaking black back cover still has me looking. The first Rudolph treasure is not QUITE as rare as its reputation suggests, but it's definitely scarce, and I imagine close to impossible to get in grade.

Popular Post FineCollector Posted July 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 12, 2020 DC released New Fun #1 recently, and they've solicited a reprint of Superman vs. Wonder Woman. Is anyone noticing an uptick in demand for treasuries, or are they still a novelty item to most? I assume people will complain about storage and pass them by, but I went and bought all five Famous 1st Edition hardcovers just in case. batmiesta, wormboy, Jasonmorris1000000 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone in the wilds of Facebook was offering the set for $1000. He sat on them for a month, and when the ad came back around, I got them cheaper. He said they were like new, but when they arrived, they were no such thing: plenty of undisclosed edge wear on all of them. Between the Wonder Woman and Sensation, one was also dropped on a spine corner, and the other has a tear in the dust cover. I got a discount off those two rather than blowing my top and returning them, which I'm proud of. I just bought a House of Mystery tonight to complete my DC set. All that's left are the weirdos... Smurfs, Annie, GI Joe, Archie, before I get into the coloring books and older stuff. Not looking forward to that!

EC Star&Bar Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 You can look up the Marvel treasury-sized Smurfs issue (from '82 or '83) by its ISBN: 0939766175. Jasonmorris1000000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went with a beat up copy, as I didn't want to pay what a high grade copy would go for... I haven't been big into collecting Smurfs since I was about 9. (My sister still has them all, though; and she's not allowed to get rid of them without asking me.) I've posted the front cover before, but the picture was lousy. Figured out later my phone case had dust trapped in the camera window.

I don't have the hardcovers (other than the New Fun #1), but my DC set is complete with the softcovers; unless you want to count the original New Fun issues, which I don't. My Marvel set is only slightly above the half-way mark, though. Good luck on the coloring books. I still need to find an uncolored copy of Spider-Man; I have clean copies of the other seven.

OtherEric Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Posted this in the Underground thread when I got it, but not here. I think I’ve gotten as much of the crease out as i ever will. This is bigger than a normal treasury, I need to figure out how to store it without folding it in half again: wormboy and Jasonmorris1000000 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
