Gerber 7's and above please! Can I see a 10?

Once again, Mr Bo Hogg Man,

[Offbeat Archives]

Over the years I have nabbed, and sold, most of the Gerber 7-10s, White Spaces, and lots of unlisted/unknown stuff (ask Captain Zaid...he's ended up with a bunch of 'em) but this one eluded me for YEARS. Finally...

SWEEEEEEEET copy, and that book, for some reason, is a real beyotch!

[OtherEric]

Oh, hey, a thread I actually have some books that fit in!

 

Here's hoping I can get the books to show up correctly.

 

 

Not my only Gerber 7 Target, I've got v3 n2 as well. Shame about the corner.

 

 

Once again, not my only Gerber 7 More Fun, I've got several of the issues from 117-127.

 

 

This one doubles as the oldest comic in my collection, unless you want to count the Mr. & Mrs. book Whitman did in 1922.

 

 

OK, not technically a Gerber 7, since Gerber doesn't list it. Overstreet says Peter Wheat News only ran to issue #30. I suspect this may actually be a 10; goodness knows I've never seen another copy (and only a couple other intact issues of the title, period). The interior art is much better, by Al Hubbard.

 

And, of course, the highlight of my collection:

Cool stuff Eric. Especially the S&S #1

[EwanUK]

Some very rare UK golden age - probably less than 10 copies exists of each

 

 

 

 

 

Not sure if this annual was ever published... never seen one

 

 

 

arguably, the first ever "graphic novel"

 

 

[Offbeat Archives]

GREAT stuff, Ewan! The cover of that Daring Hero is a hoot. Something else for me to look for.

I have never seen this book before. Does anyone know more about it?

[Bo_Hogg]

This is for swapto. This is quite possibly the rarest DC on the planet. It is the Worlds finest giveaway. There were 2 of them. I have seen 2 or 3 people with the second one but this is the first one and I know people who have been looking for 30 years for one and have never even seen a picture of one. This is not coverless. It did not come with a cover.

 

 

[Straw-Man]

the ian fellow with the supposedly complete d.c. ouevre doesn't have one?

[Paris_Fred]

Hi,

 

 

Stuntman #3 (Gerbert 9)

 

Boy Explorers #2 (Gerbert 8)

 

All-New Comics #15 (Gerbert 10)

 

Missing the Flash Gordon #5 on the set but never saw it.

Just picked this up today. Not in the Gerber but would be at least an 8.

What's inside?

 

[Eggman]

I was told this was a Gerber 7 (Scarce). Could anyone please confirm/deny? Thanks!

 

 

 

[ciorac]

It's listed as a 6 in the Gerber guide

Ciorac's right, Gerber 6, but funny animal books are one of those genres EG did not put a lot of time into assessing for the Scarcity Index. Quite a few DC funny animal books would rank higher. When my kids were working on a DC funny animal set there were a lot that were near-impossible to find, this issue being one of them. Then again it could be that due to being perceived as cheap, not too many appear on the marketplace. Peter Panda has a few that are a real B!7ch.

Moondog, the American comics giveaway has Captain Marvel 21 in it, the one with the Hitler appearance.
