Kazombie Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 I got The Addams Family #1 and #2 from a person who bought them from people who worked at the Sparta press where the comics were printed years ago. They sealed it in plastic and kept them for years. I stupidly sold #1 raw but kept#2. I haven't seen this particular issue for sale anywhere graded... is this a low print run?

MAR1979 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 (edited) Currently 6 on census. So nowhere near Little Stooges 7 rare :). With low census pop Bronze Gold Key/Whitman (or Charlton) the paramount question one must ask is "Scarce or Scarcely any Demand"? Most cases probably the later. Once there is some demand folks will start to Submit ala Twilight Zone 84. In general expect Gold Keys/ Whitmans to have lower high grade pops than Marvel or DC from the Bronze Age. Very Nice book BTW Edited October 14, 2022 by MAR1979 djzombi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qalyar Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Entirely anecdotally, I'd say that #2 and #3 are tougher books to find than #1. And most of the mid-70s Gold Keys that I've encountered tend to be fairly beat. So this is a nice book! I do think if they ever do another film reboot of the property (and it's good...) or something else to bring the franchise back to public recognition, we'll see quite a few of these mysteriously emerge from their current resting places. But, again, I'd expect more mid-grade copies than 9.x if and when that happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you know Wednesday, coming to Netflix Nov 23. Which is a Wednesday; I was going to be very disappointed in Netflix had it been otherwise. I guess we'll see how that does and if it restores interest in the franchise. MAR1979 and ADAMANTIUM 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanCooper Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Sorry to carry on the Carvel conversation in this Addams Family comic thread, but.... The very first Carvel store was in Hartsdale, NY - just a stones throw from the infamous Fantazia/Danny Dupcak comic/baseball card shop of the 1980s. Both were on the same block (Central Avenue)! Legend has it that Tom Carvel got a flat tire on his ice cream truck at that location and decided to sell the ice cream on the truck while it was melting. The melted, soft ice cream was a hit and sold fast, so he decided to open his first Carvel at that Hartsdale location where he got the flat tire. When life deals you lemons, you make lemonade...or soft ice cream...or Eastern Color File copies!

MAR1979 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 (edited) Growing up there was a Carvel in my hometown. Looking it up now I do see its open in same location thus it survived Superstorm Sandy in 2012 - good to see. Now I've a hankering for some Flying Saucers BTW this has turned out to be one of the better threads on this forum Edited October 21, 2022 by MAR1979 ADAMANTIUM and alexgross.com 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
