Phil219 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 No major defects. All pages/staples/cover intact. Minor spine ticks. Tiny corner deformation on lower left rear cover. Slight bend as you approach spine. This book would be pressed before any submission. Thank you in advance for your time and opinions.

Qalyar Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 So Much Fun was a short lived psedo-distributor that cut a deal with several publishers to have a small private print run of (fairly random) books created, to be assembled into multipacks and sold in non-conventional establishments (mostly greeting card shops, but I've heard there were a few other types of stores considered) that didn't have first-run distribution contracts for comics. They were based in Massachusetts but I think some of their packs went further afield. They were, apparently, not successful. It doesn't help that they just went with whatever books got selected, without regard to the start of story arcs or anything, really. Print run figures between 5000 and 7000 have been circulated for years, and I think they're probably pretty realistic. Survival rates are quite a bit lower, and very high grade copies are vanishingly scarce. This is probably the highest grade So Much Fun book I've seen (I'll go 8.5 here). I think that list of 12 books is comprehensive. It would be a monument to patience to put the set together in anything better than reader grades. The DC books are probably marginally more common than the Marvels. Good luck on the two Archie's, I've never seen either. grendelbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
