I have, sitting inside my collection. 

Probably the first ever Centaur I brought way back in the day.  Came from Harley who had it at one of his Seattle conventions at the time.  Have very few Centaurs in my collection, but virtually all of them came from Harley as he seem to be one of the only dealers to have them at the time. 

I believe my copy is the Larson which I didn't know anything about back then and I also don't believe Harley charged any kind of premium for the pedigree at the time. 

 

I'd be willing to take it off your hands!

Hmmm.....definitely something I will keep in mind then and will give it some thought. 

It's been so long that I can't even remember what type of condition the book is in.

Any idea what kind of condition Berk's copy would be in, since I am assuming that he should have one in his collection? 

Although I know that Jon also likes the Centaurs, I am actually not sure if he has anywhere close to a complete collection of them or not.  I guess we'll find out very soon.

I've never seen a copy.  Love the church-like arrival stamp in the upper left corner.

Church "like"

does the condition make you presume it's not Edgar's old copy?

I have only EVER collected comics with costumed heroes both on the insides and the covers. I have a premonition that the fact I am enjoying these Funny Pages covers so much does not bode well for my wallet down the road in my collecting future!! Darn you GAtor for posting and pointing out cool rare stuff i would never have paid attention to if not for this thread!!

Funny Pages 3/7

finally got the  arrow on the cover!

The 6.0 comic cc just auctioned was my first copy of this book and fortunately a friend sold me this copy last year. Tough book for sure.

Agreed - at one point, I had three 3/7's (8.0, this 7.5, and a resto 7.0 which I ended up keeping). The exception I would think is FP 3/10, which is a tough book (now listed as "scarce" in the Guide).

The 3/10 is the tough one mostly found below a 4.0 and i wonder why that is mine is about a 2.5 but the paper is nice

Well if we're just talking Arrow covers, then yes the #39-#42 are really tough.

The  FP 36, 37, and 38 (non-Arrow covers) do show up (for example, I've seen multiple high-grades on the 38. Great cover BTW).

I've seen multiple hg 37, but never seen a hg 36 or 38

The Church 38, the Larson 38, and my former copy the Claire Moe 38 (a raw 9.0). I currently have a low-grader.

Fortunately, I have nice copies on FP 3/10 and FP 36.
