Oldest book in your collection?

[MisterFF4-migration]

Hello all,

 

What is the oldest book in your personal collection? It doen't have to be the most expensive book or the book in best condition. I just wanted to know which book is the oldest. Mine is FF #16 from 1963.

 

I know.... I know..... not very old, but it's the oldest book in my collection.

Do you count Platinum Age books?

I have some Mutt & Jeff's from the teens and a Buster brown or two that is pre-1910.

 

 

[MisterFF4-migration]

Heck yeah.... You have to count those!!!

 

I think thats cool!!!

Some early 40s golden age books. Not sure which one exactly would be earliest. Used to have a Calgary eye-opener with Barks art from 1933, if that counts.

John,

 

My oldest book is TOS #39 also from 1963 but TOS is the only title I collect.

I think it's Prize Comics #something, can't remember off hand., 1945 I believe

I think my oldest would be:Spirit Section (December 14th, 1941):

It's in great shape for a flimsy, 60+ year old promo comic. Other than that I think I've got some Wonder Womans or Detectives which were published around 1943/44. Maybe I'll pull and scan them later.

All Flash #1! Summer 1941

The oldest comic I own right now would be a Congo Bill#3, but the book I've had the longest is a 3-D Batman given to me sans glasses in 1966. Took me over 10 years to get to enjoy it fully. I've sold many,many comics over the years but hopefully will always keep this one.

Mine's another FF from 1963...FF #13. Also the Annual #1 from '63.

 

Not too old compared to all y'all!

Captain Marvel Adventures #13 around '43 (I think)

Shadroch; if you want to get a copy of those 3D glasses try and find the 1990 DC COMIC PRESENTS BATMAN 3D. It has the reproduction of the glasses your missing.

 

Now back on sbject. My oldest is DETECTIVE COMICS #1. My favorite oldest is Detective Comics #33.

Waiting for my X-men 14....
