One of my customers actually owns a copy of Knights of the dinner table # 1 I think he said it graded 7.0 which is supposedly rare and I just got in a grendel # 1 yesterday in a collection it is about 9.0 or 9.2. Fact is none of the copperage books expect for possibly warrior magazine and spiderman platinum edition are actually rare. I have seen everyone of the expensive or rare books of the copper age at least twice in nice grade. many of them I see on a weekly basis. I collect copper age, I love it, that is what I grew up with but it isn't rare unless it is extremely high grade. Turtles # 1 might be the exception. And don't come on here slamming me and asking me to sell you my copies.

Then find me an Albedo #0 yellow cover!

Albedo 2 is harder to find than Turtles 1.

re fugitoid 1

 

don't worry, it's NOT rare. 35000 or so made IIRC. Good book though.

Not as rare as Peek a boo Poker!

Albedo #0 yellow cover IS the rarest book of the copper age PERIOD. Theres only 50 of them. How many of those do you think are still left?

Gobbledygook #1 is harder to find than Albedo 2

 

Sure is. I think there are only like 150 copies out there?

 

The poster said that there are no rare copper age books (unless in very high grade) with TMNT 1 as an exception. There are books rarer than TMNT, that was my only point.

[moloch]

What are the top 5-10 copper age books of interest that are actually difficult to find? Not just in high grade, but hard to find at all. I know of:

 

TMNT #1 first print

Gobbledygook #1

Albedo #2

 

Are there many others?

 

 

So, to recap - just the above plus maybe Albedo #1. Is there any real demand for Albedo 1 and 4?

Well, how about the 1980 version of Elflord #1 by Nightwind Productions? This is supposedly the first story and art work by Barry Blair in comics.

 

Overstreet listed this book for the first time in this year's edition of the guide. The book is listed in guide at $200 which puts it in the same price range as both Albedo #2 and the yellow copy of Albedo #0.

 

Does anybody know anything about this supposedly rare and hard-to-find book?

I actually know nothing about this book, but I enjoy the Elflord series, so I'd be curious to learn more about it.

 

edit:

 

After a bit of research there were only 500 copies printed:

Thanks for the link!

 

Very interesting and while I was reading it, it reminded me of what must have been another very early Barry Blair book. Are you aware of a B&W magazine call Windblade which appears to be in the same format as this early version of Elflord #1.

 

I assume this must have come out after Elflord #1 which was done by Blair when he was still in his early teens. I should try and look around for my copy which I must have stored somewhere in the closet.

I personally know of at least one.
