I think many of the stories were reprinted in keen detective funnies, but this is the only copy I've run across

It looks a little like you ran across it.

Muss 'Em Up is a nifty little Will Eisner comic story.

Apparently from a time when Will called himself (or was called by others) Bill.

Detective Picture Stories 5

That's a great run.  When I put it together I had a remaindered/restored 1, low-mid grade 2, trimmed 3, very nice 6.5 or so 4, and a low-grade & restored 5.  It's funny how your perception of the relative scarcity of books like this can be affected by seeing the same book 2 or 3 times, but I'd guess 2 & 3 are the scarcest, then 4 & 5, and 1 is the most common.

With all due respect, it appears that Gator would disagree with you on this scarcity issue:

1 is actually the most "common" (relative term)

i believe 4 to be rarest. Followed closely by 3 and 2&5 almost as tough. 

Especially since I also own a copy of the "rare" issue #4.  

But then if we all own a copy of issue #4, then maybe it's as common as dirt.

There has never been a publicly recorded sale of a certified 4. 

 

They are all tough after 1. Just splitting hairs. Finding all 5, now that's an accomplishment!

Congrats Rick.BTW is issue #5 commanding crazy money nowadays? Bruce Wayne prototype. I saw one I think it was ComicLink sometime back. The owner wanted some crazy price for his copy. I don't know if it ever sold though.

Fine folks, I'm out of town This weekend so will resume the show on Monday!

Congrats Gator!   Love this run.  These were more challenging for me to find compared to many of the pre-Bat Tecs.
