I actually have a few of those hardcover reprints. Been trying to figure out if they were worth anything or not. They were in with the 387 tons of books that my grandmother left behind, I figured they had minimal value. I'll have to see which ones I have when I get home.

bellrules Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Famous First Edition Slipcase Edition, signed and numbered by Siegel and Shuster back in the 70's. It was the regular, softcover version of the book, came in a silver cardboard slipcase and they were signed and and numbered inside the second cover.

Do they have dust jackets? As far as I know they were printed when the original Famous First Editions were printed. Yes, they have dust jackets I have no idea what they are worth now. A friend bought me the Whiz years ago, I had never seen one before and I got hooked. Edited June 3, 2017 by skypinkblu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poe Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 I love the treasuries. I have a high grade run of the Marvels. Death to Antifa. I have a few of DC's but for some reason I just never felt any want to complete that run. I guess I'm just a Marvel guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all 7 of the Treasury Rudolph issues. As far as I know, there are 22 Rudolph issues: 1 Montgomery Ward giveaway (which comes in several variations); 13 DC issues from the 50's and early 60's (the last of which is a Giant Annual); 7 Treasuries, and 1 Digest. The last 5 Treasuries and the digest all have Sheldon Mayer artwork. Not the easiest run to put together, but far from impossible as long as you're not super-picky about grade.

If it was "impossible, I sure wouldn't have them;) but at the time that I completed them, it was only because Greggy helped me with the last one (the first issue). Without him, I would not have completed them. Now of course I saw one on eBay fairly cheap the other day;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are those treasury size? I'm a little confused, I thought we were only doing Treasury books here. If I've missed some, I'll have to either sell mine, or start shopping again;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
