1935 Donald Duck #978

[JRConnell-migration]

I am new to this site, but I have a Donald Duck Linen (Comic) Book #978 and I was wondering if anyone could help me determine what it's worth. It is in really great condition (I think). It has a minor rip on the right side, near the middle - you can see it in the photo. The bottom right corner of the front cover is turned up - minimally. Thanks for you time. Jen

Reprint fromt he grading boards

 

A very nice collectible book but very common for the era it was made. The Donald books/comics from the 1930's are all extremely hard to come with this being the only exception. Still yours looks very nice and I wonder about any restoration given its age and how nice it looks. There looks to be a crease LRC that should break color but is still red, is there pen mark there?

A small crease, but no pen marks.

A copy was on ebay a few weeks ago, and another is up right now (neither looked as nice in a scan as yours, however).

 

And welcome to the board (been active here only a few weeks myself)...

I guess thats what I mean, I'm not sure if these prices are realizable. At the very least, the other Donald Ducks (FC 4, Large Feature, Wise Red Hen) from the 30's tend to go above guide with hardly any sales at all. Not to rain on this specific book too much, this one appears to be an exceptional copy.

This one does crop up about 10x as often as any of the other early DD books. (Try finding either of the two hardbacks with a dust jacket) It shows up in all kinds of venues--book shows, antique shows, etc. That being said, I concur that this copy looks to be in great shape.
