WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE RAREST GOLDEN AGE "KEY" BOOK!!

[rob_react]

How rare is the October copy of Marvel Comics #1 in relation to some of these other books?

 

From what I'm able to gather there is no high grade copy at all. Mid grade is as good as it gets.

[aardvark88]

in what way is it a key? honest question...

 

The Canadian published Capt America b/w Annual from 1942 is the 1st Timely annual. Probably historically more key than the USA published Marv Mystery b/w Annual from 1944. Both primarily distributed in Canada.

oct dated marvel 1s are indeed much rarer than nov dated....ive seen 3 or 4 of them.even with just the oct issues i dont think they would be as rare as double action or famous funnies series 1...

 

hey john, i remember you having a famous funnies series 1,do you still have it?

i had a high grade copy in 1999 that i sold, i also saw a lower grade one i think in a all star auction a few years back....between me, you and all star those are the 3 only copies i have ever seen...whats your take on the rarity of famous funnies series 1?

 

for those who dont know,,it was the 1st modern comic book to ever be sold on a newstand,with a very very small distribution of 35,000....

 

whats your take on this book john?? I just love the cover

is that the one wiht the golfer on the cover?

[rjpb]

35,000 is alot more than many comics sell today- but of course it's not like they were bagged and boarded back then.

[action1kid]

the golfer on the cover is famous funnies #1,,no,it is not the same book.

after famous funnies series 1 was shown to be a success,,they started the series with famous funnies #1

[action1kid]

i would not agree that in high grade superman #1 is the rarest big 10 goldenage key bookS, i would say that trophy would go to detective # 1

[action1kid]

there are still alot of ungraded superman #1S still out there.
