That maybe my fault, I used to use them as packing when I shipped parcels and have probably gave some away to almost everyone I ever met, I only have about 3k left  

Post that picture again Kev

Just as you give the last one away, they'll announce a Captain Gallant film.

How many books are needed to constitute a warehouse find?  I've got 250 copies of Avengers Annual 10 that I picked up from basically a warehouse (had 400 at one time).  I'm sure that wasn't the only stash of that book since I'm sure nobody bought that cover when it came out.

Many copies in high grade.

That's a good question. I recently bought five copies of this...

...from a chap in the UK who discovered (I think) 500 in a box somewhere.

Maybe to be worthy of making the list, a book has to have a prevalence that the market detects and which affects pricing? The above FF199 'Whitman' find seems to have translated into a glut of graded high grade copies on a book which was previously believed to be scarce. Prices are falling now, I see, so the find has had a notable affect on the market, pricing and has been noticed by the hobby.

Harvey File Copies?

Those appear to be the Whitman prints - do they have a blank UPC?

That's interesting. If these were all distributed in multipacks how could someone have found a case of them? Unless he pulled them from the bags.

The entire Mile High II collection was a warehouse find.  1.5M pre-1979 comics plus 200K Warren mags.  Lots & lots of Marvels.

Captain 3-D (Kirby & Ditko, I think)

Dell Giant #48 Bigger and Boulder (1st app The Flintstones in comics)

Additionally, there was a Charlton horror titles from the 1950s with a Ditko cover + at least one interior story that had a warehouse find.  I don't recall the title any longer

Surprised no one has mentioned Crime & Justice #20 yet. 30 copies on ebay right now, many in nice shape.

I thought FF44 was a warehouse find

And in the UK, too. Very odd.

Not sure if this qualifies as a "warehouse find" - maybe a Cosmic Comics find.

And I remember that someone was selling a whack of Shazam #1 comics, here on these boards, that were part of a warehouse find. That was maybe 7-8 years ago.
