Post your Golden Age Adventure/New Adventure/New Comics 7 7

[swapto]

As a run...the early "More Fun" books would have to be considered more difficult.

 

pre hero more fun comics are SUPER rare. it would be very difficult to put a run together.

 

saying that i would think it is 'on par' with new adventure/adventure.

 

[swapto]

Is rarity (and the Action 1 ad) really that critical when determining value on these two that closed tonight:

 

New Adventure Comics #18, CGC Universal 3.5 = $638

 

New Adventure Comics #26, CGC Universal 1.0 = $7,956

That and the fact that NA 26 is one of the most highly sought after covers by Flessel.

 

one of MY biggest regrets was selling the NA26 8.0SP copy (2 twice )

 

so i HAD to win this! :banana:

 

 

Aha! So you're the one who won the book.. I was actually the underbidder and lost Congrats on a nice pick-up! Glad it went to a boardie

 

So is this really THE toughest DC book?

nope, not by a long shot...there are lots of tougher books, but in much less collected titles (buzzy, funny stuff, comic calvacade, etc)...ever since Ian publicized this issue so much, I bet we have seen 6-10 copies trade hands... jus sometimes takes some big $ to make folks shake some out (all this my opinion of course)

 

Rick, in your opinon, what is the toughest single DC (other than ashcans)? Would Double Action 2 be up there?

 

even though your question was directed at rick i would like to say that DA2 would not be up there. i have seen and had access to 3 copies in the last couple of years.

 

if you are not including ashcans, giveaways and cover variants - some DC books i have not seen too many of for sale include:

tec3 + 5

MF35 + 40 + 45

new adventure 12 + 13 + 15

As a run...the early "More Fun" books would have to be considered more difficult. I think some of the Adventure books we never see very often on the Boards (and rare) would be the "New Comics" and earlier "New Adventure Comics" with the previous style logo that preceded issue #15. Who has copies of those?? I for one, would love to see a few scans of those books.

 

Edit: Talking about "New Adventure" here...not the Double-Action #2.

 

Jon Berk has some beauties. I was lucky enough to see them in person recently. I'm fairly sure he has posted them somewhere in this section

[Blind Owl]

Yeah Bill...he does, I've seen some of his and Centaurman also has a few. I want to see more though....in the beginnings of this thread there are several posted, but not enough...haaaa

 

Thanks for the info, I'm sure all the rest of us would like to see more too... (thumbs u

 

Never got to see his in person though...that must have been a thrill....

as my run will only consist of issues 12-39 my only contribution to your request is this beautiful #14

 

 

That's what I'm talking about.....

 

Here's a book you don't see every often...beautiful.....thanks for posting Swapto!!!!!

Double Action #2 is one book where there is a fairly well known total population with all but a couple coming from Sol Harrison's estate, right?

 

I suspect all the other scarce books would show up in greater quantities if there was a price rise and some publicity. DA #2 already sells for a very high price and has been well-publicized and we still don't seem to be increasing the population beyond what was known 10 - 15 years ago.

that is true.

 

i suspect that there may be two to three times more of the DC books i mentioned above in collections at present compared to DA2 copies.

just fewer of them have come to sale.

It was quite a thrill. If I remember correctly he brough 4 - 11 and they were pretty much all the Church copies.

 

He also had his New Funs, 1 - 6, there too. Stunning stuff

[G.A.tor]

Amazing--a few years ago, Ian would`ve walked on burning coals to find a copy of NA 26. Now it can be bought on Comiclink.

 

ian paid $8000 for his VG copy. i think it was from harley yee...

 

other than the copy on heritage back in 2006 the comiclink copy is the only copy i have seen come to public auction.

this is the 2nd one clink has auctioned, I believe...and of course, your copy to phil, back to you, etc, as well as the sdcc copy and the one listed on ebay that ended with a private sale... I have seen at least 6+ in the past few years...

 

[swapto]

when was there one on ebay?

[G.A.tor]

sometime last year...I saved the info somewhere

[swapto]

pm sent!

Here's a book you don't see every often...beautiful.....thanks for posting Swapto!!!!!

Looks better than the label says. Where's the group shot?

[Thegoldenage]

Ben - the copy you just won on Comiclink was on ebay about a month and a half ago. I spoke with the guy who listed it and he said he found it in a box of magazines. I let him know that he would get all kinds of offers to end the auction early and sell to someone. Somehow Comiclink managed to talk him into ending his auction on ebay and consigning to their auction.

 

And Gator is right. The NA 26 isn't as rare as was once believed.

 

[swapto]

hey brian

 

i was one of the people who made an offer to bruce from ebay with the na26.

even though my offer was very strong he decided to go with comiclink. they must of been very persuasive

 

i agree that na26 may not be as rare as once was, but it is still a RARE book. no if or buts about it.

Aha! So you're the one who won the book.. I was actually the underbidder and lost Congrats on a nice pick-up! Glad it went to a boardie

 

That was a no brainer... I actually told a few people that Ben would do his best to grab this book. I should have made a bet congrats buddy. Glad you got this back. But its no big suprise that it was you

[Yannis]

Aha! So you're the one who won the book.. I was actually the underbidder and lost Congrats on a nice pick-up! Glad it went to a boardie

 

Aha, so you're the one who drove up the price... (thumbs u

 

 

 

I contributed in driving up the price as well..... I thought when it was in the 3k dept... that it could be a steal
