That Thing 16 was part of a warehouse find of some 10,000 copies - there were also a lot of THING 17 found, with its cool sorcerer Ditko cover

 

Yeah, I knew it was common as dirt when I bought it, but for $28 who gives a 893censored-thumb.gif

it is a great book, being common doesn't change that!

 

It truly is a great book, when i saw it i remembered back to when i was buying them 100 for 20 cents a pop back circa 1968 - and there could have been more than 10,000

 

the Thing 17s were 50 cent each when buying 100 of them at a time

 

Blue Bolt 103 LB Cole cover totem pole issue was also part of this find, 1000s of them, and i remember them being 25 cents each when getting 100 at a time

 

I know, cuz i was doing this and came back to dip in that well several times

 

The Guide should reflect this industry common knowledge, well, common knowledge to old timers in the hobby getting the RBCC, where the ads first began appearing

 

There were other Charltons - the find came out of the San Fran Bay Area

 

other ones in this find were a couple Charlton crime comics and a couple romance - if i look at the Gerber , and they are listed there, i could pick out the covers

 

But, still, they were flooded into the comics market way back when, so what you paid was a very reasonable price for a great book - the entire THING run is cool stuff
