GA With Less Than Ten Copies in the CGC Census 31 31

[KCOComics]

7 on the census, but the 2 6.5s are actually the same book double counted. 

So really only 6 copies on the census.

Missing my under copy already! Glad it went to a passionate collector.

Finally a new contribution!

Captain Aero #2.

Says Vol. 1 #8 on the inside.

First Holyoke ish.

Charles Quinlan WWII cover.

4 universal on the census (1 restored).

 

I’m lucky to have one. Insides are fun reading too.

Happy Anniversary to this Thread!

And what a cool rarely seen gem that is!

what i like about zero on the census is when you go look it up, the number isn't listed.

 

like it doesn't exist.

 

just skips from vol. 2 #9 to vol. 2 #11, lol.

Bonus points if that makes you go look the missing issue up because you can't be sure whether that's just a book no one has sent in yet, or if it's more weird Golden Age numbering shenanigans!

I joked about that with a friend a number of years ago, and he decided to run with it. At one point he was about 75% done with assembling a (largely low-grade reader) collection consisting of: Krazylife #1, Nuttylife #2, Wotalife #3-12, My Love Secret #24-30, and Animal Crackers #31. I think he eventually concluded that there were too many books that were just too rare to actually finish it off. And they really are rare, too. For graded books, there's one copy of Wotalife 3 and one copy of Wotalife 5 and nothing else for the title. I wonder how much of it he still has.

Bonus points for anyone getting the theme.

Man this is like having a conversation with a friend and then suddenly seeing ads for that item on your phone.

I literally JUST bought this book this morning. Yes it’s the second round of reprints but I hadn’t even seen this title in forever.

I still go after SA keys, but when I think about the books that really excite me in this hobby, it's rare and interesting GA books.

It's a random copy I found box diving at a show somewhere.

While we are talking about Wotalife and zero census books, here’s the Crippen copy of #4:
