Are you guys going to make me single-handedly keep this thread going? sumo.gif

 

Here's two more Flessel-cover New Adventures that came in today: #20 which has really nice colors (despite my less-than-great scanner), and #31 which is the last issue with "New" in the title. cloud9.gif

I've wanted to see that too. RHG - you have the full run, correct?

 

I'm closing in on a run of the early ones, but I still have a handful left to go.

DRHG; do you have 27 (the diver cover)?

Centaurman, would you please post your Windex ratings for New Comics/New Adventure/Adventure. It would be interesting to hear your views on the subject.

 

Sure. I've been crazy busy at work, but I've already done these so it's not a hard cut-and-paste. I will put a caveat out there: These are preliminary. For books with so few available copies, the rankings can get skewed by 1 or 2 additional sightings, and I haven't fully explored all available data sources. But here's the first effort. When I actually start a thread dedicated solely to scarcity, as a repository of all of these rankings, the numbers will likely be a little different.

 

The format is Title, Issue Number, Relative Scarcity Ranking.

As you can see, I think the two toughest books are New Comics #3 and New Adventure #27. Ian's brutal search for New Adventure #26 actually has led to a few copies appearing more recently, and I no longer believe that's the toughest New Adventure. I believe my numbers for New Adventure #13 and #15 are wrong, based on anecdotal comments from knowledgeable collectors, and I'm working to get more data on those.

 

Feedback is welcomed and encouraged.

 

I also want to thank Stephen Fishler for his support for what I'm trying to do and suggestions about how to make the final data more useful. To have a major industry expert like him discussing this project with me was very energizing.

Excellent list Win! I agree with most of it. Based on my experience, you might be a little high on 6, 12, 14 and 27, and a little low on 13, 16, 18, 22 and 26

It's interesting to compare your list against Gerber. He lists #13 as a "10", but he has #27 as a "7". That would mean there's 21-50 copies of #27 out there. screwy.gif I doubt that. I know of a (very expensive) #13 that's available, but I've never seen a #27 for sale that I can remember. Good work again! Thanks for the list. thumbsup2.gif
