Like a lot of us here I received this notification recently:

20,000 is a mind numbing figure for slab counts.

So just a bit curious if anyone here has seen a pretty large slab count (no I don’t expect anything remotely like 20,000) for a golden age book. Most books I look up seem to have maybe a 100 or less copies listed with more than a few at 10 or less. 

Are there some super common golden age books people like to slab?

We need valiantman to run stats for us.  He may even have done this before.

Guys. This is a great fresh topic !   Kudos to the original OP and the current for bringing this up.  I’d love to know where the major keys that didn’t make the top 50 fall in line as compared to each other.  Assuming Pep 22 comes in last in that respect.  Love this topic.

So it’s Mad #1 at 376 copies vs Spider-Man #300 at 20,000 copies?

 

Are there even 20,000 collectors interested in owning a slabbed ASM #300?

I would actually say yes, with the newer crowd and especially on account of the Venom movie. Still, I'm sure a lot of hoarding going around ...
