A 1-2 Mr. Natural punch. There have been a few #1s parked on the 'Bay for a while now.

According to the census, we can expect these books to skew to higher grades

Fat Freddys Cat in high grade is a very difficult series to collect. There is only 1 CGC graded copy of this book(the Haight Ashbury pedigree which went for roughly 55x guide).

I was wondering if you were aware this is the second printing of Fat Freddy's Cat #1? I only ask because it appears the rest of the books you are posting are first printings.

 

This was one of the comix that had a lot of info. lost in the old forums (all the Freak Brothers additional printings of the #1 was probably the biggest loss). I found differences in the back covers of this series that added an additional printing that wasn't posted before, if I recall correctly.

 

The actual first print of this was in 1976 I believe and just has "By Gilbert Shelton" as the credit on the cover. If anyone has a 9.8 candidate or super nice, please message me with asking price. I absolutely loved this comic growing up :)

The CGC label for Freak Brothers #1 1st print state that 2 variations of the 1st print exist. I believe this is the harder to find variation featuring the orange brick. I am pretty sure this is the only difference between the two variations.

Nice Freak Bros "w/ orange block." I do not have scans, but I have two low grade copies, incl. a CGC 4.5 w/ orange that I paid $100 for from a card dealer on eBay (the other is a PGexx 2.0).

 

 

Armadillotoons (Armadillo Comics #1) 15 copies on the census; 9 grade higher
