RAREST book?

[action1kid]

I would say Big book of fun comics is the rarest D.C..............Key anyway.

I dont know where it stands but I have seen at least 11 different copies of New Fun #2 and I would say #6 is the rarest of the batch from 1 to 6

Double Action Comics #2. Yep, I think that pretty much ranks up there with Rare. And I don't think it is an ashcan. So, it should count for this particular thread.

Amazing the things you can find using Google:

I guess what we are looking for is B.

 

"Number of copies in existence"

I've said it before, but this is one of 2 known copies - per a fairly exhaustive search by Michelle Nolan.

And this one's not really much more common (less than 5 copies)

I recently purchased a sealed case of this titled from GOLDRUSHROVER

I have both of the above books as well.

I didn't know those were rare. My Grandma has a stack of those in her attic.

I think I'm going to sell my sealed NM case as a mystery box starting with a $2500 opening bid

Romance comics are at times a pain to find and so are commonly prone to lead to bidding wars from the small crowd of completists.

 

Buttock. Are these book regular size or are they pocket formats?

The run of Jumbo Comics # 1-8 on the current Heritage Signature Auction is certainly a rare batch of books.The hammer price on those should be very interesting.GOD BLESS...

The catalog estimated 70k. I would imagine that might be a little low. It is already at 19K. Going to be fun to see though.

[jimjum12]

It's not an insignificant run by any means,especially with # 1 containing the first work by Kirby and Fine.Sometimes it dumbfounds me to realize that the artist who was blowing my mind in the 60's started out so much earlier.I would be nervous having them shipped considering how large (and unslabbed) they are.I suppose the chap( or chapess) who can afford that lot will probably take possession in person.From a historical standpoint,I'm surprised the # 1 isn't worthy of 70k by itself.GOD BLESS...

I just purchased my first (and probably last) Gerber 10 book - the Cyclone Comics #1 ashcan. Gerber doesn't actually call it a "10" because it isn't even mentioned in his photo-journals. This is the only known copy, so I guess that qualifies as a 10.

The books you NEED to complete a high grade run. Seems every book I need has all of a sudden become a rare book

[Monstro]

how rare is a book when it listed as scarce in the overstree?

i have an adventures of charlie chan #2. it's listed as scarce.

[Vtcomics]

Acquiring Motion Pictures Funnies #1 has been a dream of mine for a longgggggggggg time. sigh.....

 

[Timulty]

Finding a Whiz Comics #155(or 152-155 for that matter) in the condition you want. I saw 3 books, 1 VG and the rest lower. Now, that is scarce.
