very nice

 

Thnx Bronty - as much as I do enjoy the books, I'm hardly the DC pre-hero expert. Here's my gut take on the NA 16 thru 20 mini-run:

 

NA 16 - most desirable, scarce

 

NA 17 - scarce to rare

 

NA 18 - scarce

 

NA 19 - most available

 

NA 20 - not so desirable, but scarce

Very accurate analysis, Steve. (thumbs u

 

To continue:

 

NA 21 - scarce, but not so desired

NA 22 - rare, or at least scarce to rare, high demand by x-mas cover collectors

NA 23 - scarce to rare

NA 24 - scarce, high demand

NA 25 - scarce to rare, and possibly rare

NA 26 - rare

NA 27 - scarce to rare, and possibly rare

NA 28 - scarce

NA 29 - scarce

 

[PreHero]

Excellent analysis! Always was curious about the rarity of the NAs. So few trade hands, it's hard to judge.

 

But, we can't leave off the beginning and ending of the run, though they tend to be lower demand.

 

Start:

NA 12 - scarce to rare, key first issue! Seems overlooked.

NA 13 - Rare - rarest issue in the run? I know, I know, what about the #26?!?

NA 14 - scarce, lower demand. One of the more common issues, stuck between two of the tougher issues.

NA 15 - rare, just never see this issue for sale.

Um, thanks guys. But you couldn't do this in order.

 

My fav (cover), and wish to one day reacquire: NA 18

Fixed!

NA 15 - rare, just never see this issue for sale.

 

Probably more scarce to rare, IMHO - I've seen 'em (including a copy just last Sunday!).

 

Finish:

NA 30 - scarce, more common issue.

NA 31 - scarce, more common issue.

 

Cool books to be sure, but maybe not even scarce (uncommon?).

[sacentaur]

Since we're going through NA 12 thru 31, I'll stick my neck out and take a stab (more like a guess) at New Comics 1 thru 11. Other opinions welcome!

 

New Comics

6 - scarce to rare

9 - uncommon (most available)

Haven't actively collected NAs in a long time, so was a guess. #15 seems tougher to find, but you're probably right - similar scarcity to the #16. #31 seems more common than #30, but both are just "uncommon" when compared to rest of run.

 

Also, tough to distinguish between scarcity and higher demand - not a lot of NAs make it to market.

What a beautiful run Jon.

 

Since we've gone to the trouble of listing the scarcity of 1-31, here's the rest of the pre-hero books in the title:

 

32 - scarce, somewhat higher demand because it is the first issue of "Adventure Comics" and it has one of Flessel's best covers as well.

33 - scarce

34 - scarce, slightly higher demand

35 - scarce

36 - scarce to rare, high demand

37 - scarce, somewhat higher demand, perhaps because the cover was used for Double Action #2.

38 - scarce

39 - scarce, high demand

This is territory that I feel a bit more comfortable in, and I agree with your calls Peter. (thumbs u

[Comicdey]

Thanks for sharing your opinions on scarcity....all of them are great books.....

[Comicdey]

Surprisingly, New Comics seem much more common (or at least available) versus most New Advs or pre-#40 Adventures!

 

I think both CL and Heritage had NC #2 in their recent Nov auctions!

[G.A.tor]

I wish I had of gotten more BP money, I would love to buy some of those New Comics

Aren't new comics only about $3.50 each? I could probably loan you a little cash.
