Lot's "O" Fun Comics (NN/1?) 1949 0

Hey everyone! 

           I came across this book, but can't seem to find any information on it. It's a low grade golden age book and the inside pages have Walt Disney Characters/stories...Would anyone happen to have some more information/how much it would be valued at in a low grade (1-2.0..beat up copy, but covers are attached and all pages are present)? 

 

    Thanks! ...Jon

Welcome!

It's a neat item but probably very little value. Looks like a generic cover wrap that e.g. theaters or stores could have used to give away comics as a promotion.

Yeah, probably a repackage of remainder (unsold) comics.  Contents could vary from book to book.  Value would depend on what's inside the book.  You could look up the stores by title on Grand Comics Database at comics.org

Just curious, but what does the back cover look like? How many comics inside and do they have their covers?

I'm guessing the contents a coverless and at .05c designed to sell just to recoup their cost.

the back cover is actually blank (white) and there a multiple mini stories inside - Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, etc.

Thanks. I figured a blank back cover would be the case.  So it's probably a single issue (coverless) of the same comic...probably a Walt Disney Comics & Stories.  

If you look them up and find they are from the same issue, please let us know....just to satisfy curiosity.

Here are a few more pictures...I actually inherited my father's collection about a year ago when he passed away. There are about 10k books in total (Golden age to present, horror magazines etc)...I sold a few short boxes already, but decided to sell the rest via my website/Ebay to try and get the most money for what is left (he didn't leave us any insurance policy, just a lifetime's worth of comics and other stuff lol)...My knowledge is nowhere close to what his was, so I'm learning as I go. Thankfully he did teach me a few things, but with the amount of time it takes to research, grade, take pictures and list these books it is becoming a full time job. So far, so good - except for the Ebay fees and future taxes owed on sales haha.

I have one of those. Has a Dell Western inside. Pretty minimal value. Just a fun giveaway.
